Today I show you all the benefits of cumin to your organization.
Also called "Nigella", its virtues are actually much broader than that.
Diuretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory... traditional Indian medicine has been using cumin for centuries!
Our western societies only discovered all its advantages quite recently.
In any case, they understood that cumin cures many everyday ailments.
I, who have been using it for more than a year now, can tell you that my body is doing wonderfully.
Discover 12 powerful benefits of cumin and how to use this miracle spice every day. Watch:
Cumin is particularly recommended when it comes to relieving digestive disorders of all kinds.
I'm talking about difficult digestion, flatulence, constipation, stomach pain...
Our famous spice prevents and solves this type of erasure problem.
It is its carminative and antispasmodic properties that allow this.
That is to say, it relieves bloating, stomach aches, or stomach spasms of any kind.
Concrete example. I've always had trouble digesting cabbage properly.
Well the fact of adding a teaspoon of cumin in the cooking water allows me not to be bothered anymore.
There is a somewhat scientific explanation for this.
Cumin releases more digestive protein whether in the mouth, stomach, small intestine or even the liver.
This allows for much more efficient digestion!
Cumin seeds contain natural substances that act as antioxidants.
This means that these substances (called apigenin and luteolin) prevent free radicals from attacking our healthy cells.
As a reminder, free radicals are the cause of "oxidative stress".
This oxidative stress is responsible for aging, cancers and cardiovascular diseases!
Cumin seeds, rich in beta-carotene, help us fight the harmful effects of these free radicals.
They slow down the aging of cells and encourage the renewal of certain organic tissues.
Several studies have shown that cumin prevents and above all lowers cholesterol levels.
I am thinking in particular of a study where a group took 75mg of cumin twice a day for 8 weeks.
Well the results were significant.
There was a significant drop in triglycerides (a form of bad cholesterol).
Or a study of 88 women, half of whom took 3g of cumin mixed with yogurt twice a day.
They did this cure for 3 months and guess what, they had more "HDL" at the end.
In other words, they had more good cholesterol than the group that took a placebo.
Cumin has the ability to prevent cancer cells from multiplying.
This is a study that revealed this.
An experiment was done on rats that were given cumin.

Our spice has a preventive action on the appearance of cancers, particularly stomach and liver cancer.
Cumin has been recommended for centuries in traditional Indian medicine to treat chronic diarrhea problems.
Western medicine is just beginning to understand the value of this spice.

People with diabetes have a long-term chance of developing cataracts.

It is often caused by high blood sugar, very common in diabetics.
And many studies have shown that consuming cumin powder regularly delays the progression of this disease.
But that's not all. The researchers also discovered something else.
Cumin powder also reduces type 2 diabetes in people with diabetes.
The active ingredients of cumin seeds have a recognized anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect.
They soothe pain and relieve acute inflammation.

Cumin did reduce the pain and inflammation of these little beasts during the test phase.

More research is needed, but the results of these studies are promising!

Their weight gain was simply stopped; some even lost 1.5 kg in 3 weeks.

Cumin extract was able to treat these symptoms for as long as participants consumed it.
It is so effective that it is hoped that cumin could replace the very expensive drugs that treat these disorders.
