Black pepper, also addressed as Peppercorns, plays a crucial part in the transformation of a “simple” dish into an extraordinary one with its beautiful aroma and exotic flavor. But other than creating flavorsome treats, it is a complete storehouse of multiple health benefits, weight loss being one of them. Though it has been widely recognized as a spice with unbelievable medicinal properties since ages, very few knew that it is rich in healthy fats, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins that keeps a check on the body weight.

Now, let’s see how it acts as a weapon for shredding away the excessive fat from your body.

It assists in the boosting of the body’s metabolism rate
It aids in burning the extra calories
Contains anti-oxidant properties that fight and lessen oxidative stress
Resists the growth of new fat cells in the body
Prevents accumulation of fat and at the same time absorbs those nutrients that are essential for maintaining good health
It has anti-depressant properties and hence helps in altering a bad mood

So, now that you know the benefits of consuming black pepper, the next question is how to maximize your intake of this particular spice through your everyday diet. Cooked food contains a roasted version of black pepper and hence it’s medicinal properties get reduced.

So, here are few ideas explained below to help you extract maximum health benefits from peppercorns.

1. Black pepper with honey

When the goodness of honey and black pepper is blended in a cup of warm or boiled water, the results are far beyond your imagination. This concoction creates an anti-diabetic agent besides losing weight. Also, the taste gets better as honey acts as a sweetener naturally.

2. Tea prepared with Black pepper

Commonly known as “Masala Chai” i.e. Spice tea in India has high medicinal value owing to the ingredients used in its making. Black pepper, ginger, cardamom, cloves, tea, and milk – that’s all you need to make a piping hot beverage. So, good taste and slim body – a perfect combination!

3. Black pepper and Juice

If you are not a tea person, then you can try out this juicy combination of fresh fruits like pineapple, melons, limes, and ground peppercorns. Adding a slight pinch of salt would not only enhance the taste of the juice but also help fight diabetes, cancer, and obesity.

These are some smooth and easy solutions to absorb the good qualities of this hot spice. But if you are tolerant of pungent organic Indian spices, then you can consume it directly to make the most of it. Chewing 1-2 black pepper seeds every morning after waking up can revitalize your body metabolism and help you stay in shape forever.
