According to the latest research, conducted on Iranian Medical University Shahid Sadoughi, cumin, which people have used as a medicine and a spice for a long period of time, is a great fighter against excess weight.
The study results also showed that consuming only one teaspoon of cumin on a daily basis can also be very beneficial in the process of weight loss. It will also reduce fat and reduce cholesterol levels.
The study involved 88 women who were divided into two groups. All women have consumed 500 calories less per day within three months. However, one group of women, in addition, have consumed yogurt mixed with a teaspoon of cumin. Furthermore, this group showed much better results when it comes to weight loss.
The subjects in this group also had reduced their body fat and lowered their levels of cholesterol.
Cumin is an amazing spice that is rich in phytosterols, which is an ingredient that is able to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body. The study’s authors believe that this amazing spice is able to speed up metabolism.
Moreover, in addition to yogurt, you can also add cumin to all kinds of different salads or various sauces.
