Khaberni - Many people make efforts to lose weight, to avoid the consequences of obesity that threaten heart and liver health, as well as increasing the risk of diabetes and other health problems.
To speed up the results of the efforts made by an individual to lose weight, Abbas Kanani, a pharmacist at Chemist Click Online, recommends incorporating two types of spices into the diet.
According to "Sory Life", "some spices, such as cinnamon and turmeric, have been studied for their ability to regulate blood sugar levels. It has been found that cinnamon enhances insulin sensitivity, reduces resistance to it, and improves glucose metabolism."
However, effects may vary depending on the dosage, duration of use, and individual response.
Cinnamon
A study published in the Clinical Nutrition journal found that consuming up to two grams of cinnamon daily over a period of 12 weeks reduces fat mass and body weight.
The research indicated that: "The aggregated results showed that cinnamon consumption significantly reduces body weight, waist circumference, and fat mass. Greater effects were observed in individuals under the age of 50."
Turmeric
Some studies have also indicated that curcumin, the main substance in turmeric, helps in regulating blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing pancreatic functions.
By stabilizing blood sugar levels, cinnamon and turmeric help prevent spikes and drops in energy levels, reduce cravings for sugary foods, and aid in weight management.
Cinnamon and turmeric can be consumed as supplements, but it is advisable to consult a doctor regarding the appropriate dosage for an individual.
