10 INDIAN SPICES TO BOOST WEIGHT LOSS

Add These 10 Kitchen Spices To Your Diet For Weight Loss

1 Cinnamon: 

Cinnamon has several antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The most well-known property of cinnamon is its ability to aid weight loss. Cinnamon has a natural appetite suppressant effect. Additionally, it speeds up your metabolism. It acts as an insulin stimulant and allows sugar metabolization more efficiently. One of the major causes of excess body weight is insulin resistance. It does not indicate that the person has diabetes; rather, it indicates un-metabolized insulin. The sugar in the body turns into fat if not absorbed through its metabolism. Cinnamon aids in breaking down and metabolizing sugar. As a result, it helps lose weight.

2 Cayenne Pepper: 

This blazing hot spice gets easily digested by the stomach and decreases hunger. The active element in cayenne pepper helps to reduce bad cholesterol resulting in improved heart health. In addition, capsaicin in peppers contains thermogenic properties that help in burning fat.

According to one study, adding 1 gram of cayenne pepper to a meal can raise core body temperature significantly. As a result, your body will burn more calories. In addition, it speeds up the metabolic process. The rate of food transformation by the body and liquids into energy is determined by metabolic rate. Therefore, the body turns nutrients into energy rather than stored fat when your metabolic rate increases.

3 Fennel: 

Fennel, commonly known as Saunf, is a natural diuretic and appetite suppressant. It is high in vitamins A, C, and D. It offers several antioxidant characteristics that aid digestive health. Improved digestion naturally results in a healthy digestive system and leads to weight loss.
