Herbs and spices AID a lot benefits

in your weight loss PLAN


Cinnamon
Cinnamon is said to curb hunger cravings, control blood
sugar level and make you feel fuller for longer. You can
add cinnamon to your oatmeal, mix it in yoghurt or put it
in your tea. It is also a great addition to meat and
chicken.

Benefits of cinnamon:
• Balance blood sugar
• Powerful antioxidant
• Strong antibacterial and antifungal
• Helps reduce blood pressure
• Improve cholesterol
• Improve digestion
• Reduce inflammation
Ginger
Ginger helps to control blood
sugar level, which means it can
prevent a spike in your glucose
levels after taking a carb or a sugar
rich diet. Same like turmeric and
cayenne pepper, ginger also has
thermogenic (fat-burning)
property. Add it to your tea, salads,
fish, fruits and more.
Turmeric
1. Anti inflammatory properties
Obesity lead to inflammation, which increase your risk to
develop chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

2. Turmeric is anti obesity


A 2009 study conducted on mice at the Tufts University, found
that curcumin can actually suppress fat tissue growth.

3. Turmeric and weight loss connection


Though turmeric suppresses the fat tissue growth and helps to
reduce inflammation, it is no weight loss miracle. One should
surely incorporate turmeric in their every meal.

Add turmeric to your vegetables, milk, smoothies and salads.


Turmeric has no side effects until one is allergic to it, which is
very rare. When taken as a supplement, it can interfere with
certain medications, so do not forget to consult your doctor
before you do so.
Rosemary
Rosemary helps to increase your metabolic rate.
It also aids digestion and weight loss. These
green pointed leaves are to be soaked in boiling
water for a few minutes. The strained water can
be consumed lukewarm at any time of the day
but not empty stomach.
Cumin
Adding one tablespoon of cumin
seeds to all your primary meals
every day can help you burn three
times more fat, says a recent study
conducted on overweight women.
Also, cumin adds great flavor to
your food. You can add it to almost
everything, including soups,
dressings, veggies, pulses and bread.
Black Pepper

How can we not mention black pepper while


talking about Indian spices! Cousin to cayenne
pepper, black pepper is rich in piperine, which
gives black pepper its unique flavour. This one
ingredient prevents the formation of fat cells
and thus, helps you to lose, and later maintain,
that weight. One can combine black pepper and
cayenne pepper for better weight loss results!
