The Surprising Weight-Loss Benefits of Curry and Cardamom
A new study suggests that consuming cardamom, a key ingredient in Indian cuisine, could aid weight loss by increasing fat loss and reducing inflammation. Researchers found that cardamom helped control the breakdown of fat and energy production in the liver and muscles, leading to increased calorie burning and fat loss in mice. The spice also showed potential in reducing low-grade inflammation associated with chronic health problems. While the study was conducted on mice, it is estimated that adults would need to consume at least 77mg of cardamom to see similar benefits. Cardamom is commonly used in various sweet and savory dishes and could be utilized in the production of healthier foods and dietary supplements.
