18 Nov
Summary
- Black cumin seeds inhibit fat cell formation.
- Daily intake significantly lowered cholesterol levels.
- This spice may prevent obesity and related diseases.
A staple in dishes like korma, black cumin is now recognized for its potential anti-obesity properties. Recent research indicates that this spice not only enhances flavor but also actively inhibits the formation of fat cells. Clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in improving cholesterol profiles.
The study involved participants consuming black cumin seed powder daily, resulting in notable reductions in triglycerides and 'bad' cholesterol, while 'good' cholesterol levels increased. These improvements are associated with a decreased risk of heart conditions and premature death, according to the scientists.
Researchers are exploring black cumin's broader impact, including its potential to help manage insulin resistance in diabetic patients. Historically used in traditional medicine for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, black cumin is being further investigated as a functional food for overall health and disease prevention.
