Turmeric Aids In Weight-Loss

Turmeric, the golden spice, has anti-inflammatory properties and can manage and prevent many health conditions including, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and even cancer. People who keep up with all the weight loss fads surely must have heard of turmeric as a good weight loss ingredient. But is turmeric truly good for weight loss? Read on to know the answer.
CurcuminTurmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which gives turmeric its yellow colour and also has medicinal properties. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Here are six reason how turmeric can boost your weight loss.
Regulates fat metabolismCurcumin regulates lipid metabolism, which plays the main role in the development of obesity. When consumed with other anti-inflammatory spices and herbs, turmeric can be great for weight loss. Curcumin in turmeric prevents the formation of the mature fat cells, thus obesity.
Another way with which curcumin enhances weight loss is by transforming the white fat into brown fat. White fat is the fat that is stored under your skin and around your vital organs, leading to obesity. Brown fat helps in burning fat and glucose into energy. Brown fat reduces your chance of gaining weight.
Fights inflammationObesity and inflammation feed each other. Chronic inflammation can mess with your hormones and lead to metabolic disorders including obesity. Obesity, on the other hand, can lead to low grade inflammation.
Turmeric can eliminate the problem at its root by enhancing the level of antioxidants that fight the free radical. Turmeric also prevents and repairs the damage caused by obesity.
Fights metabolic syndromeObese people in most cases also have metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by high amounts of triglycerides, visceral fat, increased blood pressure, plasma glucose reduced HDL cholesterol and insulin resistance. People with metabolic syndrome do not lose weight despite eating clean and exercising.
In a study, these individuals were given curcumin, which resulted in increased weight loss, reduced body fat, waist and BMI. This proved that curcumin has the ability to regulate a diverse range of functions in the body.
Can lower stressStress can lead to weight gain. Anxiety and depression can lead to high amount of cortisol, which can lead to the extra kilos. Curcumin has been said to lower cortisol levels and increase the mood-lifting hormones which fight the ill effects of cortisol.
Can help with PCOS related weight gainPCOS is a hormonal disorder that can make women gain rapidly. Not just this, weight management becomes even difficult when one has PCOS. But the anti-inflammatory turmeric can fight the inflammation related with the condition and help in significant weight loss. 

Different ways to consume the wonder spiceHaving turmeric daily can lead to uncountable health benefits. You may add it as a spice in your curries, make turmeric milk or tea, add it in your smoothies and coffee. But do not consume more than 3 grams per day.


RememberTurmeric alone cannot help you lose weight. Consume it with other anti-inflammatory foods, healthy diet and regular exercise to lose weight in a healthy manner.

Tip
Unfortunately, curcumin is very poorly absorbed by our body. But when consumed with black pepper, which has piperine, the absorption of curcumin is increased drastically. Thus, the best curcumin supplements also contain piperine to increase the effectiveness.
