Eating processed food that are high in carbohydrates during these hunger pangs ultimately leads to the excess fat storage.

Using Triphala regularly can help break the weight gain cycle by getting your digestive system working again to absorb the nutrition you need, and thus reducing the amount of hunger you feel due to a lack of nutrition.

It also strengthens the colon tissues which in turn helps in the easy elimination of toxins and metabolic waste. Read More
