These desi kitchen spices can naturally help manage health and weight
Ayurveda and Indian kitchen wisdom have long used spices not just for flavour, but for healing and metabolism-boosting benefits. When combined in the right proportions and infused in warm water, certain spices can stimulate digestion, control blood sugar, and even reduce fat accumulation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A daily drink of this five-spice mix—consisting of cumin (jeera), fennel (saunf), coriander seeds (dhaniya), carom seeds (ajwain), and fenugreek (methi)—can support natural weight loss, especially when paired with a balanced diet and activity. Cumin Cumin (Jeera): Jeera is known to ignite agni or digestive fire, helping the body break down food efficiently and absorb nutrients better. It also reduces bloating and water retention—common barriers to weight loss. Studies have shown that regular jeera water intake may lower body fat and cholesterol levels in overweight individuals. Fenne Fennel Seeds (Saunf): Saunf is a gentle diuretic that flushes out toxins and excess fluids. Its mild sweetness and digestive enzymes help curb sweet cravings and support smoother digestion. Fennel also relieves acidity and improves gut motility, both of which are crucial for consistent fat loss. Corinader kea Coriander Seeds (Dhaniya): Coriander seeds help regulate blood sugar levels, which is essential to prevent insulin spikes that promote fat storage. They are rich in antioxidants and aid in detoxification, making the body more efficient in fat metabolism. Dhaniya water is also cooling, making it perfect for summer weight loss routines. Carom Seeds (Ajwain): Ajwain is a powerhouse for melting belly fat. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It contains thymol, which boosts digestive enzymes and helps reduce stubborn gas and acidity. It also enhances basal metabolic rate, which means the body burns calories more effectively, even at rest. Fenugreek Seeds (Methi): Methi seeds swell when soaked and release soluble fibre, which slows down digestion and keeps you full for longer. They also help balance hormones like insulin and leptin, improving hunger control and fat burning. Methi is especially helpful for those with PCOS or insulin resistance. How to make Spice water To make the spice water: soak 1 tsp each of these five seeds in a litre of water overnight. In the morning, boil it for 5–10 minutes, strain, and sip throughout the day. This detoxifying brew not only boosts metabolism and curbs appetite but also supports gut health and hormonal balance—all critical to sustainable weight loss.
