All fresh herbs and spices are great for you and have numerous health benefits, however, these are my favourite four herbs and spices which aid in fat loss and the reasons why I think you should add them to your diet.
Garlic
Fresh garlic or pickled garlic helps with fat loss as it helps to regulate your blood sugar. Garlic basically helps keep your blood sugar levels stable. Keeping your blood sugar stable helps to speed up fat loss as it helps keep your insulin levels balanced and helps to prevent large spikes in insulin. In case you didn’t know, insulin is your storing hormone. In large amounts insulin can help you to gain weight. If you are able to keep your insulin levels balanced then fat loss is far easier.
Garlic also helps to speed up your metabolism. This is done through increasing your body’s core temperature through thermogenesis, which means your body burns more calories as your core temperature is hotter. There are many other benefits to using garlic, including garlic is a natural antibiotic, garlic helps lower blood pressure and garlic helps lower cholesterol.
Ginger
Fresh ginger has many benefits including helping with weight loss. It has been shown to temporarily increase your metabolism by nearly 20%. Again this is through increasing thermogenesis in your body allowing your body to burn more calories. Ginger is also excellent at improving your circulation to help detoxify your body as it expands your blood vessels. Doing so enables more blood to be moved around your body, enabling your body to receive more nutrients as well as enabling your body to detoxify more waste products. Ginger has also been found to reduce pain and inflammation, lower cholesterol, relieve gas and bloating and has cancer preventing properties.
Cinnamon
Another great spice which aids in fat loss is cinnamon. Although cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (such as by increasing metabolic rate, etc), it can actually help you to burn off abdominal fat and get leaner through an indirect link. Although cinnamon has dozens of health benefits, the main benefit that will help you to get leaner is through its strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body. Cinnamon helps your body to metabolise sugar about 20 times faster and lower your body’s blood-sugar levels, which will help you burn abdominal fat faster. This is because when keeping blood sugar lower this simultaneously allows your body to produce less insulin, which is your fat storing hormone. As your insulin levels are lower then you are able to burn fat faster. As cinnamon controls your blood sugar and keeps it stable, it will also control your appetite and help prevent cravings, which will make fat loss easier. All it takes is about 1/4 of a teaspoon added to your meal or snack in order to get these fat loss benefits.
Cayenne pepper
The final fat burning spice is cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper is one of the best fat burning spices and can increase your metabolism by up to 25% for several hours after ingestion. There are two reasons why cayenne pepper increases your metabolism. The first is through thermogenesis, where you burn more calories due to your core temperature being increased. The second way is through cayenne’s main ingredient called capsaicin, which helps burn calories in your body in a way similar to exercise, but it’s not going to be as dramatic as exercise.
None of these herbs, spices and seasonings are going to burn your fat on their own. If anyone says they will they are lying to you and are exaggerating their effects, however, they can help speed up fat loss in conjunction with a fat loss diet like the Regeneration Diet which you can download for free from here https://loseweightfastacademy.com/regeneration-diet.
Garlic, ginger, cinnamon and cayenne pepper are all tremendous aids in helping your body work more efficiently, which will lead to better health and can aid in fat loss. They are not miracle workers, just aids that can help make fat loss quicker and simpler.
