• Mix some cinnamon into Greek yogurt.

TURMERIC

Turmeric has multiple holistic properties and is an absolute superhero when it comes to boosting both health and weight loss.  It is most commonly associated with Indian cuisine. Turmeric is a key ingredient in many Indian dishes, particularly curries. However, turmeric is a versatile spice and can be used in a variety of cuisines.

This spice contains an active compound called Curcumin, which is a bright yellow substance that has anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies support that this active ingredient helps promote weight loss, as well as the reduction of obesity-related diseases. Turmeric has also been shown to block the synthesis of fat, thereby promoting fat loss, reducing body weight and helping to lower BMI levels.

In addition to the weight-loss benefits, turmeric has a wide range of other pretty awesome health benefits too. Turmeric has the potential to alleviate a variety of gut problems and it may reduce the appearance of certain signs of aging. There is also evidence that turmeric may act as a natural remedy and help protect against some cancers, Alzheimer’s Disease, and heart disease. Turmeric may also help increase energy, and alleviate bothersome conditions like a sore throat!

Additionally, turmeric is inexpensive and pretty easy to add to your healthy diet. Let’s take a look at some fun ways to easily add it in.

3. CAYENNE PEPPER

Cayenne pepper can be a really fun and fiery friend to have by your side when you’re trying to lose weight.

This very popular spice is considered a thermogenic spice because it contains a substance called capsaicin. Capsaicin is an extract derived from chili peppers that has been shown to rev up your metabolic rate, helping you burn calories faster. Plus, it may help reduce appetite and control overeating, making it easier to stick to your healthy eating plan. Finally, some research has shown that cayenne pepper can boost energy and support appetite control by reducing ghrelin levels, the hormone responsible for stimulating hunger.

So, don’t be afraid of spicy foods. Sprinkle some cayenne on your meals and let it give your weight loss a spicy boost!

• Adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to sweet potato fries or popcorn can also be an extra delicious and spicy treat.

4. GINGER

Ginger is another Super Spice that is believed to help with weight loss. Studies have shown that it may help increase metabolism and fat burning, suppress the appetite and stimulate digestion.

Ginger also decreases inflammation within the body and when combined with additional ingredients, ginger can really pack a powerful weight loss punch.

For example, when ginger is combined with lemon juice, appetite suppression is thought to be boosted, in addition to adding a decent amount of Vitamin C to the mix.
