The problem of obesity has reached enormous proportions in the developed world and now the developing world, leading to ailments like hypertension, diabetes, pre-mature heart trouble and early mortality. The present life style of the world in general promotes a sedentary lifestyle with minimum exercise and excessive food (read junk food) intake.
The whole world is oriented towards curbing this silent killer but has met with little success.
Hoodia, a rare cactus found in Kalahari Desert is a miracle cure to curb the craving for excessive food intake. It thrives in extremely high temperatures and takes years to mature. It contains a naturally occurring appetite suppressing compound which has now been identified and is being tested by the major international pharmaceutical companies to be developed as safe diet pills with the minimum side effects.
