Spice it Up!



Thermogenic spices rev up the body's metabolic fires and jumpstart energy expenditure. Spices can also be diuretic, or helpful in carbohydrate metabolism and digestion.

Thermogenic choices to spice up your meals include cayenne, dried mustard, ginger, and garlic. According to Louise Ann Gittleman, these herbs and spices help with your weight loss and health goals.

Bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, and coriander help control insulin levels.

Parsley, cilantro, fennel, anise, and apple cider vinegar act as natural diuretics.

Dill, Fennel, anise aid digestion; and cumin helps protect against degenerative disease.
