Can spices and spicy remedies help to treat obesity and reduce overweight? “Someone told me to eat ginger, pepper, cinnamon or curry for weight loss. Are they really helpful?”
Well, spicy foods and herbs are double-edge weapons for weight loss.
Yes, indeed, garlic, onion, ginger, pepper, cinnamon and curry – all these foods and remedies are “hot”, warming and stimulant. They have fat-burning, blood-moving properties that boost metabolism and reduce fat accumulation.
But, in the other hand, spicy foods and herbs stimulate and warm your body. It leads to two results:
1. They open up your stomach and stimulate your appetite, thereby, you want to eat more, and be able to eat more.
2. They increase blood flow and the function of your organs, and make your digestive system more efficiency.
So it depends on the condition of your health, and depends on your genetics. People are different from each other. Spicy foods and herbs may work for some people, but may not work for other people in the treatment of weight loss. You can try them, and see if they work for you or not. Remember, there is no treatment that works for everyone.
