(10-04-13) Use these six amazing spices to burn fat fast

by PF Louis

(NaturalNews) Spices can turn mundane bland foods into culinary delights, and
that's there primary use in our modern world. Some "foodies" recognize how they
support health as well, sometimes as an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory, anti-
fungal, antimicrobial, or a combination of any or all of those attributes.

But not many realize that spices can also help burn body fat. That's right,
you can spice it up while eating a little less and staying off sugars and
simple or refined carbs. Just make sure you use organic herbs that aren't
irradiated. Purchasing them from bulk sections is less expensive.

Cinnamon comes up on almost everyone's list of fat burning spices. Could be
that cinnamon's ability to stabilize glucose blood levels is a factor. It's
been clinically proven to help stabilize blood sugar levels with Type II
diabetics. It also happens to have all the attributes mentioned in the first
paragraph.

Using three grams daily for eight weeks improved blood glucose and lipid
levels. After the eight weeks, the treatment group demonstrated weight loss and
lower BMI (body-mass index). The journal report is in source [1] below if you
wish to review it yourself.

It's easy to add cinnamon to coffee or tea, smoothies, or use it in cooking.
Adding cinnamon to a baked apple while holding the sugar may be a good weight
loss treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Cardamom is another spice that goes well with coffee or tea. It's best to buy
fresh whole organic cardamom seeds and grind them into a fine powder as used.

If you drink coffee, a rumor among Ayurveda medicine advocates is that adding
ground cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg to coffee ameliorates coffee's adverse
health effects while punching up flavor. You can get your caffeine buzz with
less guilt.

Cayenne has many positive health aspects, especially regarding heart health.
But it can also be used to help you lose weight if used often enough. If you
don't like hot, spicy foods, you can try it the Dr. John Christopher way.

Dr. Christopher was a famous master herbalist nicknamed Dr. Cayenne because he
used this herb in so many ways. For heart and cardiovascular health or
digestive maintenance, he recommends gulping down a teaspoon of cayenne powder
with at least a 40,000 heat unit index (SHU) in pure water. (http://www.

Okay, it's really hot. But you can dowse that immediately with a cold
beverage. Then it's over. Not all of us can tolerate chewing and swallowing
spicy hot foods for several minutes. If you enjoy eating that way, go for it as
often as possible for burning fat.

Garlic is well known for its antibacterial properties. It also contains
phytochemicals that break down fat deposits. Find a way to consume a couple of
cloves raw often. Chewing a garlic clove with a bit of raw honey is one method.
Wrapping it in a lettuce leaf or inserting into a tomato slice works too.

Onions are easy to eat raw. They also contain fat burning phytochemicals.
Simply slice them up into salads and enjoy.

Turmeric has many positive qualities, possibly more than any other spice. It's
a terrific antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Clinical trials have found it
useful as an adjunct for treating cancer.

Many who treat their cancer away from the medical mafia's toxic treatments
incorporate turmeric with a "cancer diet" and other natural remedies.

In addition to all that, turmeric helps reduce fat in the liver, which in turn
helps the liver metabolize other fats that have accumulated from excess sugars
and refined carbs. Ironically, turmeric should be taken with a fat.

Traditionally, it's heated slightly in milk or coconut oil. Ground black
pepper is added to enhance assimilation. (http://www.naturalnews.
