Weight loss, a trend that everyone is running towards in the race to lose the fat and become fit & healthy. Tons of articles, WhatsApp messages, social media posts are always ready to share a lot of gyaan that is sometimes useful or most of the time a short term hack. Today I am going to talk about this very authentic Indian plant-based food that has a crucial role to play in weight loss & digestive health. Kali jeeri – a seed of plant Centratherum Anthelminticum. It is a different variant of cumin (jeera) that has numerous medicinal properties to tackle weight loss and other medical conditions.
Also, It is popularly used in combination with ajwain in a certain ratio to improve digestive health and aid weight loss. Another combination of kali jeeri with ajwain & additional methi is useful for people suffering from metabolic syndromes such as high blood pressure, heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, thyroid and likewise.Â
While on a weight loss diet, people generally go on a very low cal diet that can affect the body’s metabolism and slows down digestive health. Moreover, an unhealthy lifestyle such as high frequency of eating out, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, high intake of refined sugar, oily foods & salt can increase digestive imbalance. That’s when kali jeeri comes into play. Kali jeeri helps in detoxifying these irritants out of the body. The herb has potent carminative, antiflatulent, and antispasmodic actions. One can get good results within a week with this remedy.
It can work wonders if taken in the right amount and at the right time. Make sure you don’t exceed 1/2-1 tsp per day as per your tolerance and take it after meals, on rising or at bedtime.Â
Include this heavenly component in your daily routine and see the positive changes in your body.
