Guarana, Are there Advantages over Regular Caffeine?
Guarana is a berry found on a climbing evergreen vine native to the Amazon and can be found in Venezuela and Northern parts of Brazil. Guarana has many uses including increased energy mental alertness and stamina to name a few. Guarana also contains thermo bromine and therophyline two of the substances found in chocolate that have thermogenic (increased heat through metabolic stimulation) and mood elevating properties.
Guarana can be found in many forms from soft drinks to candy bars to capsules, and is widely popular in Brazil and Venezuela.
The chemical makeup of Guarana is identical to caffeine. So what are the advantages of Guarana over a cup of coffee I asked and this is what I found.
Guarana caffeine is released much more slowly providing longer and more sustained stimulation. Directly stimulating the central nervous system and increasing metabolism.
Other uses for Guarana include:
§ Detoxifying the blood
§ Reducing Intestinal gas
§ Obesity
§ Dyspepsia (upset stomach or indigestion)
§ Fatigue
§ Arteriosclerosis (hardening (and loss of elasticity) of medium or large arteries)
§ Neuralgia (pain in one or more nerves)
§ Diarrhea
§ Dysentery (inflammatory disorder of the intestine)
§ Migraine Headaches
§ Rheumatism (generalized term for conditions that cause aches and pains)
§ And Cellulite Reduction (Cellulite is the lumpy substance resembling cottage cheese that is commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt.)
Precautions must be taken when guarana as with any other caffeinated product. Guarana may cause insomnia, trembling, anxiety, palpitations, urinary frequency, and hyperactivity. If you are sensitive to caffeine you may be sensitive to Guarana. Guarana should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation. People with cardiac problems or high blood pressure should avoid the use of Guardia or any form of caffeine.
If you are not sensitive to caffeine Guardia can benefit you in many ways.
