So, let's get back to the basics. Let's go back to when life was simple where we grew our
vegetables herbs and spices outside in the garden.
If you grew up old-school like myself, I'm sure you could have remembered your grandmother recommending herbs and spices that seem to cure almost any elements in the family.
All you had to do was just to go outside in the garden and get it! Now everything is changed. Most of the foods We buy in supermarkets. I mean it's not our fault it's just the lifestyle that we living today. People seem to want everything fast. Fast food fast cars and fast weight loss.
With all this "I want it now!!" Attitude surrounding us, sometimes we just need to take a step back and go back to basics. This also applies to our health and the foods that we eat.
So let's talk about weight loss and natural spices. I'm sure you've heard of cayenne pepper and it's amazing health benefits.
Cayenne pepper is a natural herb that may help you lose weight.
Cayenne peppers has been around for thousands of years. Cayenne pepper main active ingredient is capsaicin. Research has shown that capsaicin is a thermogenic chemical. A thermogenic chemical may help speed up your metabolism and decrease your appetite.
An additional reason why cayenne pepper is so effective it is because it helps you burn calories, why, because it’s spicy. Well, it is a little on the hot, so if you tried please use it sparingly.
When you eat spicy peppers, it causes your body’s temperature to rise. When your body’s temperature rises, your body goes into a cool-down mode. Research has shown that cayenne pepper can boost your body metabolism up to 30%.
According to Dr. Josh Axe, DNM, DC, CNS, who is a certified doctor of natural medicine, doctor of chiropractic and clinical nutritionist, in his food is medicine, claims that various studies have found that consuming cayenne pepper for breakfast creates less appetite, so people eat less calories during the day.
How to use cayenne pepper
You can use cayenne pepper the same way like any other spice you would normally use. You can use it fresh or dried. If you want to add a little spice to your meals cayenne pepper is a great substitute to regular hot sauces.

Another reason why I use cayenne pepper because not only does it help me to keep my body weight in check, but it also helps to clean my arteries and helps in blood circulation.
So if you like hot spicy food or you just want to add a little spice to your meals, why not give cayenne pepper a try. You can purchase cayenne pepper in the powder form of fresh in almost any supermarket.
I usually recommend purchasing your spices from a certified health food store.
