Is
turmeric good for weight loss?
Often
referred to as "Indian Saffron", turmeric has been used
in the Indian culture since a long time and it is famously known
for its healing and cleansing properties in the whole world. Indian
healers have consistently used it for controlling obesity and
weight gain since ages. And what might come as an interesting
revelation to many is the fact that apart from being a super-aid
for shedding pounds, it also plays a huge role in liver cleansing,
inflammatory disease control, cholesterol reduction and arthritis
treatment.
The spice is extracted in its raw form from the curcuma longa
plant roots, found in southern parts of India and parts of Indonesia
originally. Of late, the plant is also harvested in the Oriental
and Caribbean fringes of the globe and its therapeutic properties
have come into the glare even more.
Turmeric has been associated with weight loss properties due to
its Thermogenesis effect. What is Thermogenesis? The Central Nervous
system, in its endeavor to maintain a consistent body temperature
often triggers fat burning in the system, which is scientifically
known as Thermogenesis. Curcumin, the orange pigment in the spice
heightens this and thereby accelerates the rate at which the body
burns fat. Result? Considerable weight loss for users.
Liver Specialists further enlighten readers on turmeric's capacity
to help shed pounds. They say that the liver, of all organs in
the body, plays a big role in keeping the body's fat burning capacity
active. Turmeric stimulates bile secretion in a liver, "unburdens"
toxic residues, detoxifies the organ and protects cells. Dietary
fat is therefore broken down faster, thus enabling individuals
to lose weight quickly.
Tips for storing turmeric
Turmeric, to maintain its potency of weight loss must be stored
in the right way-
· Always store turmeric in airtight containers, away from
direct sunlight and heat.
· Do not buy in huge quantities as it starts losing its
efficacy after 6 months.
For a healthy weight loss plan include turmeric into your diet
and see the amazing results that it brings. Use the internet to
find some low-calorie vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes that
use this spice and replace your meals with these to reach your
weight loss goals quickly. Add it into your grilling marinade,
put a pinch of turmeric into your sauces or use it while cooking.
The efficacy remains the same, whichever way you may use it, and
is bound to bring you awesome results of weight loss in a short
time.
