5 Amazing Health Benefits Of Amla (Indian Gooseberry) That You Should Know
Entertainment Nov 13, 2015
Almost all Ayurvedic preparations contain the superfruit amla or Indian gooseberry, and it's not that surprising that they do!
Amla is one of the most valuable fruits with many health benefits. Amla belongs to the Euphorbiacea family, and the fruit ripens in autumn in hilly areas on the Indian subcontinent. Amla is a nourishing fruit with a sour taste. Some of the benefits of taking Amla is that it balances stomach acids, fortifies the liver and helps the urinary system. And those are just a few things from the long list of benefits this healing fruit offers.
Here are five other health benefits this nutrient-packed fruit gives that can help lead you to a longer and healthier life.
Taking Amla as a juice is great for improving eyesight. Studies have shown that Amla improves nearsightedness, cataracts and eye muscles. To improve your eye health, mix two teaspoons of Amla juice into water every morning.
2. Healthier Hair
The high levels of Vitamin C in Amla fight hair loss and promote hair growth. The antibacterial properties of Amla relieve eczema and stop dandruff. The antioxidants in the superfruit can also help with the pigmentation in your hair and prevent premature greying. For hair health, you can either take Amla directly or get Amla-based haircare products.
3. Skin Care
Amla's cooling properties make it perfect for treating skin imperfections. Amla helps clear up acne and prevents new pimples. Drinking amla juice on a regular basis brightens your skin, restores skin firmness and offers anti-aging benefits.
4. Cancer Prevention
The high levels of antioxidants in amla restrict the growth of carcinogenic cells and prevent tumour cell growth. You can help prevent stomach, skin, and liver cancers if you take amla regularly. Amla can also help with the harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy on the body.
5. Weight Loss
If you have difficulties with weight loss, you should definitely look into adding amla to your diet. Amla boosts your metabolism, lowers your body's fat content and keeps your stomach fuller for longer. Include amla juice into your diet if you want to kickstart your weight loss journey.
