Using Cayenne for Weight Loss?
Thursday, September 17th, 2009So, using cayenne will help you lose weight? Yes, with the help of cayenne, weight loss can be aided through 2 effects it has on the body:
1 - increases the body’s heat production, also called thermogenesis
2 - speeds up metabolism
A smaller, more recent study, that will need more research found that cayenne also increase the body’s production of epinephrine and norepinephrine (adrenaline), which would definitely help reduce appetite.
The more simple carbs we eat such as white sugar, the more out of balance our blood insulin levels become. With quick increases in blood sugar, come quick drops. It is these dramatic drops in blood sugar that make us crave more sugar. Keeping the blood levels balanced helps reduce cravings and stop the snacking.
