Benefits of spices (Five best spices that stimulate your metabolism)

Benefits of spices
  •  · Stress relief
  •  - Alleviate inflammation
  •  · Cancer Fighting
  •  · Reduce Chances of Heart Issues
  •  · Burn Fat 
  •  · And much more…  

Here are the top five best spices that stimulate your metabolism 
 
 **Cinnamon, ginger, mustard, cayenne pepper, and black pepper** 
   
Cinnamon is probably one of the best:
  •  Controls blood sugar levels;
  •  helps maintain insulin sensitivity;
  •  a very powerful antioxidant;
  •  help in the process of carbs;
  •  it also lowers LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) by seven to 27% ;
  • prevent the metabolic syndrome commonly seen in pre-diabetics;
  • and much more...
 Ginger, powder mustard or mustard seed, cayenne pepper (can also be found in capsule)  are known to stimulate your metabolism by 25%. Black pepper up to 8% . Natural fat burners, isn't that amazing lol.

  • Ginger also reduce the absorption of fat from the intestines, so as Garlic. 

  • Chili pepper (has capsaicin, which can fight inflammation), has a thermo genic effect and may cause the body to burn bonus fat and calories for 20 minutes post show-down. It also help reduce the damaging effects of LDL (bad cholesterol), and increases blood flow.

If you want to know a good combination to use in your diet, here are three spices that work well together: 
  • Red chilli pepper, black pepper and turmeric (which is a plant of the ginger family and has both anti-cancer and pro-thermo genic support). 

Wow that was one quick blog eh, lol! That is what happen when you have just a few minutes to write something, oh well I hope it helped a bit :)
