Spices That Can Help You Lose Weight

Q. Is there a spice in your kitchen that has the ability to block the formation of new fat cells?
Can you sprinkle on black pepper to shrink your gut? Maybe. The spice has the ability to block the formation of new fat cells, says lab research published in the Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry. Researchers grew a type of cells destined to become fats cells in a petri dish. Then exposed them to piperine, a pungent ingredient in black pepper, for 72 hours. The results: The exposure to piperine interfere with the formation of new fat cells. It also reduced lipid storage in the cells—which is good for revealing those abs, since the lack of lipids prevents these cells from being stored as fat. Researchers noted that previous animal studies found black pepper to be effective at reducing triglyceride accumulation in the liver, which helps decrease your risk for liver disease, & reducing levels of glucose in the blood, which plays a role in preventing diabetes. To reap the biggest benefits of piperine, buy black peppercorns & grind them yourself. According to additional research published in the Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry, whole black peppercorns pack the largest amount of piperine per serving compared to other forms of the spice.
Here are some tools to weight-loss success that are on your spice rack! These are five spices that not only add flavor to your favorite dishes, but can help in your battle against the bulge:
	1. Cinnamon Acording to a study published in Diabetes Care, as little as one teaspoon of cinnamon per day can boost the body's weight-loss ability by reducing blood sugar & promoting healthier processing of carbohydrates. It also lowers LDL cholesterol, bad cholesterol, by seven to 27% & total cholesterol by 12 to 26%. Plus, cinnamon has been shown to prevent the metabolic syndrome commonly seen in pre-diabetics. But before you go crazy using cinnamon, note that cinnamon contains a chemical called coumarin, which can lead to liver damage if consumed in very large amounts.
	2. Cayenne The main ingredient in cayenne is capsaicin, which is, also, found in other hot peppers & has long been studied for its fat-burning abilities as well as thermogenic properties, the stimulating of the central nervous system to produce heat in the body, leading to an increase in calorie burning. In fact, Nicholas Perricone, M.D., cites several of these studies in his wildly popular The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet and concludes that capsaicin acts as an appetite suppressant. Many think that cayenne pepper promotes weight loss because it's simply difficult to overindulge in spicy food. However, later studies performed by the Journal of Obesity, also, found that the spice increases fat oxidation, "ramps up energy expenditure, & stimulates activity by the sympathetic nervous system", which help the body to shed excess weight. Research has found that cayenne's ability to reduce appetite is equally effective whether ingested as food or in capsule form.
	3. Black Pepper Among the health benefits of this common household ingredient is its ability to improve digestion & promote the absorption of nutrients in tissues all over the body. Plus, its main component-piperine boosts fat metabolism by as much as 8% for several hours after ingesting it. If you want your pepper to pack the most punch, use freshly ground pepper, which has the most concentrated amounts of piperine.
	4. Mustard Seed Like other hot ingredients, spicy mustard helps boost metabolism & allows you to burn fat more quickly, in part due to its thermogenic properties. Scientists at England's Oxford Polytechnic Institute recently found that eating just 1 teaspoon of hot mustard can "boost metabolism 20 to 25% for several hours after eating, resulting in an additional burn of about 45 calories if a 700-calorie meal is consumed."
	5. Ginger Long used for its medicinal properties, ginger is, also, an effective diuretic, a substance that increases the elimination of urine. It improves gastric mobility by pushing food & waste through the digestive system as well as hinders the absorption of cholesterol. Although more study is needed, preliminary evidence suggests that this versatile spice helps to increase metabolism.
