In Case you Missed It: Spices to keep you looking Caliente
Cayenne Pepper straight from the source.
Living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL for over 15 years exposed me to some of the most delicious Latin American cuisine. What I could never understand was how, in a hot climate, people would consume hot food. It’s been shown, in study after study, that adding spices to your meals can not only increase your metabolism; it can make you feel fuller on less food.
1. Cinnamon: A 2003 study published in Diabetes Care illustrated that as little as one teaspoon of cinnamon a day can boost your metabolism. It’s a great way to sweeten plain yogurt and coffee.
2. Cayenne: Capsaicin, the main ingredient found in hot peppers, has thermogenic properties which raises the body’s heat leading to an increase in calorie burning. It’s also been used as a fat-burner. If you remember the article: The Master Cleanse, cayenne pepper is one of the main ingredients found in this weight loss/detox brew.
3. Black Pepper: Mainly a digestive aid, black pepper’s main ingredient, piperine, boosts fat metabolism by much as 8% for several hours. Ground pepper works better than refined pepper.
4. Mustard Seed: another spicy and hot choice that will allow your body to burn fat. Scientists at England’s Oxford Polytechnic Institute found that eating just one teaspoon of hot mustard can boost metabolism 20 to 25%!
5. Ginger: Like Black Pepper, ginger helps aid digestion and eliminate toxins from the body.
