Add turmeric to meals for weight loss

A healthy metabolism booster

Turmeric is one of those fragrant spices we all have at home, which we use generously in curries – or to make yellow rice.

Besides the many health benefits and anti-cancer properties of this popular spice, it's also a great way to boost your metabolism.

Turmeric decreases fat gain

Curcumin is a compound found in turmeric that's believed to be responsible for many of its health benefits, including fighting fat.

A study found that consuming curcumin decreases the levels of insulin resistance and leptin resistance. Both these factors are heavily linked to fat gain.

So there you have it, turmeric isn't only a great way to flavour food and good for your health, but it's a great metabolism booster too!
