The Controversy Surrounding Ozempic: Weight Loss Benefits vs. Side Effects

TL;DR Summary
GLP-1, a hormone that lowers blood sugar and aids in weight loss, is found in injectable medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. However, these drugs can be expensive and have side effects. Fortunately, there are natural alternatives to boost GLP-1 levels, such as eating a hearty breakfast, avoiding artificial sweeteners, consuming olive oil, exercising regularly, eating green vegetables, consuming protein-rich foods, taking berberine supplements, and adding cinnamon to desserts. These alternatives can provide similar benefits without the drawbacks of injectable medications.
