  Gymnema sylvestre

  Description:

  Gymnema (Gymnema sylvestre) is a plant species native to India and Africa that has been used traditionally in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to treat a range of conditions, including diabetes, obesity, and digestive problems. Gymnema is thought to work by inhibiting the absorption of sugar in the intestines and by increasing the production of insulin in the pancreas. If applied topically to the tongue, it reduces the sweetness and bitter sensation of foods, which may deter excess sugar intake (the plant is sometimes referred to informally as 'the sugar destroyer'). One of the most popular natural medicines utilized for dietary supplements, an extract of the leaf (Gymnema leaf extract) is the most often standardized for use, although the root can be used as well.

  avocado

  Description:

  Avocado, produced by the avocado tree, is a fruit known for its creamy texture and thick, bumpy skin. Commonly consumed as Hass avocados in the US, these fruits weigh between 200 to 500 grams and are rich in oleic acid, akin to almonds or olive oil. Avocado oil, used in cooking, faces quality concerns such as oxidation and adulteration with soybean oil in commercial products. Nutritionally, avocados are high in protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats, while also containing potassium, beta-sitosterol, and various phytochemicals and vitamins. Studies suggest that avocado consumption may improve cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function and reducing postprandial blood glucose. Additionally, avocado compounds like persenone A and B exhibit antioxidant properties with potential chemopreventive effects against inflammation-associated carcinogens.
