Aroma and Satiation: Do They Go Hand in Hand?

The Young Living Essential Oil products in the Slique line are Slique Slim Caps, Slique Gum, and Slique essential oil.  These products assist in letting the brain think you are full quickly.  Below are my notes from the 2012 convention.

As we all know, stress stores more fat cells.  If you are stressed, you will over eat because of cortisol overload.  Stress triggers cortisol and stimulates hunger hormones.  Aromas (like orange and peppermint) suppress appetite and can lead to a 2% weight loss every month with no change in diet or exercise.  Citrus is known to have the ability to quench hunger as well as have many compounds to assist our health.  They are also natural antibiotics. 

Slique Slim Caps (liquid) have lemongrass leaf oil, fractionated coconut oil, pomegranate seed oil, lemon myrtle leaf oil, and balsam fir idaho branch/leaf oil. 

-          Citral, a constituent found in lemongrass and lemon myrtle essential oil that may increase metabolic activity while decreasing appetite triggers. 

-          Puricic Acid – an acid found in pomegranate seed oil that may block fat cell uptake at the cellular level and may reduce lipid levels in the blood.  It reduces belly fat.

-          Lemon myrtle consumes adipose tissue (fat).

Slique Slim Caps (powder) have premium gluccomannan, ocotea leaf fines, and fucoxanthin.  These caps will dissolve in the stomach allowing the contents to expand, which may initiate physical satiation and feelings of fullness. 

-          Glucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber derived from the konjac root that expands in the stomach and may induce feelings of fullness and decrease appetite.  It promotes good gastrointestinal friendly bacteria – flora and calcium absorption.  It facilitates magnesium and calcium absorption into the blood. 

-          Ocotea leaf – a South American plant thought to help reduce sugar cravings. 

-          Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid found in brown seaweed and has a very similar structure to beta carotene.  It helps to metabolize white body fat (not brown body fat).  Brown fat is resistant to diet and exercise.

Slique Gum has frankincense resin, spearmint, peppermint, and turmeric.  It keeps your mouth busy and to not eat.  Why would frankincense be in the gum?  Well, back in the day in the Middle East, caravans used to carry more water than food mainly due to not being able to carry more.  The Frankincense resin is what they chewed all day long to sustain them and not feel hungry.  They would eat one meal every three days. 

-          Orosensory stimulation is an important contributing factor to the development of satiation.  Chewing gum for at least 45 minutes significantly suppressed rated hunger, appetite and cravings.  95% of taste is aroma.  If you chew more, you get more aromatic satisfaction from the food.

-          This gum can be chewed on for up to 3 days!  You can put a drop of Slique essential oil on it to revitalize it.

A part of modulating appetite is cravings, which is satiating.  Sense of satiation is for the brain – without that, we can overfill the stomach.  There’s no better tool for aroma than hot foods, like tea, to have psychological satiety.

Slique Tea has Jade oolong tea, inulin, ocotea leaf (Ocotea quixos), Ecuadorian cacao powder, vanilla essential oil, frankincense powder (Boswellia sacra), and natural stevia extract. 

-          Vanillin is vanilla and the chemical structure is similar to clove.  Clove has a numbing effect and is great for dental work.  Therefore, vanillin numbs your appetite.  It is 25% higher than any other commercial vanilla.  Stress Away roll-on helps our cravings because of the presence of vanillin, which numbs the brain.  Stress unlocks the fat cells for further absorption, triggers cortisol (the stress hormone) and triggers a cascade of hunger hormones. 

Slique Essence essential oil combines grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, spearmint, and ocotea with stevia extract in a unique blend that supports healthy weight management goals. These ingredients work together to help control hunger.

Wow, Slique is unique!  As of this posting, I have tasted the Slique Essence essential oil and love it!  It's a spearmint-citrus flavor.  I also have chewed on the Slique Gum for 2 days - not bad for old gum.  The Slique Tea has a unique flavor to it like no other and is really tasty.
