There are many indigenous ingredients which are available at home that can be used to treat various diseases. These ingredients are easily available and their regular consumption can help battle ailments. One such ingredient is cumin (jeera). It is a household spice that is widely used in food. Drinking cumin water is highly beneficial for the body. Did you know reports suggest that you can lose weight in just 15 days with cumin water?
Yes, you read that right. Drinking cumin water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach helps boost the body’s metabolism. It provides relief from problems like constipation and indigestion. Cumin water has some great benefits. Start by leaving the cumin seeds to soak in a glass full of water overnight. Once the seeds are soaked, the process of osmosis will take place throughout the night, during which the entire nutrients of cumin will mix with the water and the colour of the water will also turn yellow. Then the cumin water can be consumed in the morning, before breakfast.
In a way, cumin water has almost no calories. It is thus beneficial for weight loss. Cumin also contains abundant antioxidants which help remove harmful toxic substances from the body. Apart from this, it also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium and copper.
Cumin water also helps boost metabolism, which in turn helps reduce weight. As the metabolism is boosted, energy is properly utilised in the body and it does not accumulate, hence the body weight doesn’t increase.
Apart from weight loss, cumin water also deals with treating cholesterol. Cumin water increases good cholesterol and removes bad cholesterol from the body. This prevents the development of various heart diseases. It has been reported that various harmful toxins, which lead to problems like indigestion, stress and obesity, get removed from the body by consuming cumin water daily.
