חמישה תבלינים המסייעים בירידה במשקל

And on this episode of Strong Mind and Body, we look at five common kitchen spices that are said to be excellent for weight loss. Here's Gina Marie. Obesity has reached an epidemic state and continues to grow at an alarming rate. Luckily, we can turn to our very own kitchen when it comes to keeping our weight down. There are many powerful herbs and spices that have been studied for their weight loss benefits. Here are our top five, starting with number one, turmeric. There is now evidence to support turmeric's role as a weight loss agent. A randomized, controlled study showed that curcumin, which is the powerful phytonutrient in turmeric, significantly increased weight loss. It also reduced body fat, waistline, hip circumference, and BMI. Number two on the list is rosemary. Rosemary is a fragrant herb that adds a distinctly delicious taste to lamb, beef, poultry, and vegetable dishes. According to research, there is a powerful bioactive component in rosemary extract that can reduce the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Number three is black pepper. Pepper is one of the most common spices kept in our kitchen cabinets worldwide, but enhancing the flavor of food isn't pepper's only talent. Pepperine is the main compound of black pepper, and that's what makes the spice pungent. It's actually a powerful weight loss agent. In one study, pepperine showed the ability to up-regulate resting muscle metabolism. This demonstrates potential as a treatment for obesity. Number four is fenugreek. Galactomanin is a soluble dietary fiber extracted from Canadian-grown fenugreek seeds. It has been shown to reduce the glycemic response and insulin secretion in high-sucrose fed rats. Additionally, this rat study showed a reduction in body weight, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. And number five, dill. Commonly used in Iranian traditional medicine, dill also boasts a weight loss secret. In one study, dill brought about a significant decrease in body weight and food intake. So there you have it, turmeric, rosemary, black pepper, fenugreek, and dill. These herbs and spices can do a lot for your body and your waistline.
