wellness with a wide array of benefits. Below, you will find some of the most
revered health benefits of this cumin powder.
Weight Loss
Cumin may be just the ingredient to consider using to
support a sustainable approach to weight loss.
Digestive Health
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal
disorder
Some of the most prevalent symptoms of IBS include bloating,
abdominal pain, varying bowel habits, and, for many, a significant challenge
with one’s quality of life.
A review of research of the spice found that cumin is an
efficacious remedy for other digestive issues, including indigestion and
flatulence.
While cumin enhances the flavor of many favorite dishes and
meals, it also may enhance your body’s digestion ability and overall digestion
process.
Diabetes/Blood Sugar
Cumin is a superfood spice that supports healthy blood
sugar, and both treats and can help to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Cumin is a potent ingredient to include in your diet if you
are looking for ingredients to support the balance and stability of your blood
sugar, as well as manage diabetic symptoms and complications.
Antibacterial/Antiviral
Cumin seeds are a great way to stay healthy and strong
during the common cold and flu season.
Cumin seeds have been tested against some common strains of
bacteria and viruses.
Lowers Risk of Iron-Deficiency Anemia
Cumin is a naturally iron-rich ingredient that will increase
the iron potency of your diet.
One teaspoon of ground cumin contains 1.4 milligrams of
iron.
Hence, cumin is a great supplementary source of iron, even
when used in small amounts as a seasoning.
Cholesterol
High blood cholesterol is known as a major risk factor for
heart disease and even heart attack.
Cumin is a helpful and supportive ingredient for managing
your cholesterol levels.
Respiratory Support
Cumin seeds have been shown to have anti-inflammatory
properties.
Respiratory challenges are most often wrought with
inflammation within the lung system—including the lungs, the trachea, and the
bronchi.
Cumin seeds are also, as previously mentioned, antibacterial
and antiviral, which ensures that if you have a cough (bacterial or viral), you
will be in good hands with cumin.
Cancer Prevention
Research shows that cumin exhibits chemoprotective qualities
that have been shown to “suppress tumor cell proliferation, including
colorectal carcinoma, breast adenocarcinoma, osteosarcoma, ovarian carcinoma,
myeloblastic leukemia, and pancreatic carcinoma.”
