The Top 5 Metabolism Boosting Spices to help you lose weight. Add cayenne, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, and turmeric into your foods to boost your metabolism.
Want to trick your system into burning more calories? We know that to lose weight you need to exercise, eat lean, consume fewer calories, and burn more calories off, but did you also know that there are spices you can add to your daily diet to help increase your metabolism? Here are the Top 5 Metabolism Boosting Spices that you should be adding to your food to help you burn fat.
- Ginger – This spice has a lot of health benefits! Ginger has the ability to increase your body’s temperature as it is being digested which in turn will boost your metabolism to burn off the extra calories. If you read the back of Fat Burning supplements, you will find ginger as one of the ingredients. Dr. Oz says that ginger can increase your metabolism by about 20% for three hours!
- Cinnamon – Boosts your metabolism, aids in digestion, and can even help regulate blood sugar levels as the Mayo Clinic suggests for people with Type 2 Diabetes.
- Cayenne Pepper – Want to kick-start your metabolism? Add a little Cayenne pepper into your drink or dishes. Cayenne Pepper has thermogenic properties which heat up your body’s internal temperature thus increasing the rate at which you burn calories.
- Cumin – Is said to help promote weight loss. Women who participated in certain studies reported diminished body mass index, waist circumference, and percentage of fat mass after three months of healthy eating and cumin consumption.
- Turmeric – Can help you with your weight loss goals. Not only does this spice provide a host of health benefits, but it also will help you burn fat. Studies have shown that turmeric increases the flow of bile in the stomach which helps to break down fat.
