5 Herbs To Accelerate Your Weight Loss

If you are someone trying to lose weight using natural methods and you feel that there are not many options for you, you should read this article. It turns out that some herbs that we use daily in our meals may be more useful for losing weight than you thought. 

From parsley to peppermint, many herbs can help restore hormonal balance, improve digestion, relieve gas and promote weight loss.

And we are not talking about these fanciful herbs, but those that are readily available in our kitchens. Here is the list of five of these herbs:

1. Peppermint

From refreshing lemonade to a cup of hot tea, peppermint can enhance the taste of many ordinary foods. But did you know that peppermint also has an appetite suppressant effect, which makes you feel less hungry when you eat it? Fewer cravings mean that you will consume fewer calories, which will facilitate weight loss.

Peppermint has been found to aid digestion, gas, and acidity. And proper digestion, as we all know, is the first step to losing weight. Peppermint has also been shown to be an effective remedy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

2. Oregano

We all love oregano with our pizzas and sandwiches. But did you know that this plant is a rich source of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids? Both of these enzymes are important for insulin function - they affect the secretion and its activity in the body.

Studies have shown that Mexican and marjoram oregano is ideal for managing diabetes. High metabolism and better regulation of sugars can facilitate weight management. Oregano can also relieve constipation and reduce it. It also allows your bile juice (produced by the liver) to flow and thus aids digestion.

3. Rosemary

Rosemary is full of antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties. These antioxidants prevent the damage of free radicals and lower your blood sugar level. When combined, all properties make rosemary an ideal plant to help with weight loss. It can also help protect you against several metabolic disorders. The carnosic acid contained in rosemary has been shown to have anti-obesity potential.

4. Parsley

Parley can be an excellent ally in your weight loss efforts. It is a natural diuretic that can help eliminate water retention and relieve bloating. The fiber content of parsley is also high, making it an ideal herb for weight loss.

Eugenol - a parsley oil lowers blood sugar and can treat high blood sugar. Thus, parsley is excellent for weight management, especially for people with diabetes.

5. Spearmint

If you suffer from weight problems resulting from a hormonal imbalance such as PCOS, spearmint can help you. Spearmint can help by increasing the level of estrogen. Low levels of estrogen have been associated with menopausal weight gain.

By restoring the hormonal balance, spearmint can help shed those extra pounds, especially in women.
