Amla (mblica officinalis gaertn) or Indian gooseberries have many benefits and is used to create powders, juice and oil.
1. Amla has a variety of wonderful health benefits and is therefore used to make amla juice.
2. Eating either the fruit, or drinking the juice helps with skin problems such as acne and dry skin.
3. Amla Juice contains 20 times more vitamin C than orange juice, and therefore promotes a healthier immune system.
4. This wonderful gooseberry is known to reduce cholesterol due to its richness in fibre and iron. This also reduces the production of free radicals in the blood stream, significantly reducing the risk of heart disease.
5. Those with high blood sugar and diabetes may benefit from the polyphenol which is contained in the fruit. This prevents too much oxidization in the body, and is therefore a good control for blood sugar levels. The presence of fructose (a natural sugar) also allows the body to absorb insulin more effectively.
6. Drinking Amla juice regularly has been shown to increase sperm production for those suffering with low sperm count.
7. The fruit also contains fibre. This combined with its anti-inflammatory properties and high water content, means that it is a perfect antidote for stomach problems and acidity.
8. Amla is also dried to make powder. This powder is often combined with honey and used to cure sore throats and colds. The powder can be used to create amla oil which is often used in hair products, due to its ability to enrich the hair and heal a dry and itchy scalp. It has also been attributed to combat hair loss and prevent premature greying of the hair. You can do this by massaging amla oil into the scalp as a conditioner after shampooing the hair. Leave for 15 minutes and rinse.
9. Regular consumption may help the body fight and reduce the risk of cancer. This can also be used as a supplement whilst undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, in order to reduce the harmful effects.
10. Amla berries are also excellent as a source of rehydration and purification when suffering with a hangover or alcohol intoxication.
11. Rich in vitamin A, the fruit promotes collagen production in the body. This helps the skin retain elasticity keeping you looking younger, and having an anti-aging effect.
12. Amla also aids the body in absorbing protein, which stimulates and boosts the metabolic rate of the body. This helps with faster weight loss, and increases energy levels
13. Eyesight improvement is yet another life enhancing benefit of eating this wonderful fruit.
14. I would recommend blending these Indian gooseberries with other nutritious fruits and vegetables, to create a super-food smoothie. You can include all kinds of healthy foods, such as raspberries, parsley, kale, spinach, coconut oil etc…
Finally I would like to thank you for reading and I wish you great health, wealth and happiness.
