The Indian gooseberry what you know as amla popularly is just a wonder fruit that helps in boosting your overall health. Here we are going to throw some light on the benefits of eating it daily.
And I discovered it all because there was a time when I used to struggle with acne and weight gain for the longest time, and then eventually I decided to give the amla a chance to show its magic on my body when even the fanciest diets and workouts failed to do so. And trust me, it worked like anything!
Even I was in awe and couldn’t resist myself from telling the benefits to others as well.
Here are all the revolutionary changes I noticed in my body when I started eating one amla every day on an empty stomach:
It makes digestion better
When I used to suffer from constipation and bloating, I literally was looking for some remedy that gives me relief. So, once I started the amla-eating journey, I started noticing positive changes in my stomach when I woke up and it was flat and no bloating. And surprisingly, my bowel movements have never been better and constipation became history.
A study published in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention shows that amla helps in making digestion better and explains further that its rich fibre content helps regulate bowel movements. Moreover, amla stimulates the secretion of gastric and digestive juices, which makes the digestion process easier while ensuring that the nutrients in the food are absorbed by the body properly.
It works well on immunity as well
To my surprise, this amla-eating regime has affected my immunity positively. As I notice that these weather changes don’t cause me flu anymore—all thanks to amla’s immunity-boosting power.
Basically, amla is a citrus fruit that directly means it is rich in vitamin C, which is a proven antioxidant and an immunity booster.
It helps in removing acne
The fact that amla helps in good digestion is also the reason why it keeps your gut healthy. Now, according to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, a healthy gut is associated with healthy skin. Moreover, vitamin C and antioxidants in amla naturally work in order to get rid of acne-causing toxins and bacteria in the body, thus giving you healthy, clearer skin.
This is exactly the reason why within three weeks of eating amla on an empty stomach every day, this acne started clearing up.
 Last but not least, it helped me lose pounds
I won’t say it is responsible for any drastic weight loss but you know, when you’ve been trying to shed even a few ounces for quite some time and nothing seems to be working, then even a small change can be a big relief. It encourages and gives a new ray of hope in the process of weight-loss.
According to a study published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, drinking amla juice, consuming amla powder, and/or fruit can help in losing weight effectively and in fighting obesity by boosting your metabolism and encouraging fat-burning activity in your body.
Conclusion
All I would say now after reading it all, that chewing this wonder fruit amla can’t be a difficult task for anyone. But still, if you feel you cannot do it, then try grinding it and consuming its juice. You can dilute it with water. And get ready to witness the wonders of this Indian gooseberry or amla.
