I borrowed this from John Benson’s newsletter and thought I would share it b/c it’s got some good info in here. – Todd
It’s the spice of life.
Food that is. Or opinions. I guess there is a lot of things that are officially “the spice of life.”
I think spices are the spice of life.
Not only can spices save an otherwise boring healthy meal…. they can also help you burn more bodyfat.
The January 2006 issue of The Journal of Physiology and Behavior cited numerous studies on several spices that increased thermogenesis in the body.
Thermogenesis is simply heat — and since a calorie is a unit of heat, guess what?
More thermogenesis = more calories burned = Less bodyfat.
Pretty cool stuff this thermogenesis.
For now, here’s the spices that work the best to help you burn bodyfat:
1. Capsaicin, the compound gives red chili pepper its heat, increased energy via heat expenditure by up to 23% after ingesting it at breakfast.
2. Black Pepper increases body heat (thermogenesis) by bonding to TRPV1 receptors in the brain.
3. Turmeric has both anti-cancer and pro-thermogenic support. Best of two worlds if you ask me.
Combine these three spices: Red chili pepper, black pepper and turmeric, and use them liberally (as you can handle them) on your lunch and dinner meals.
Just be careful not to overdo the spices, otherwise you’ll end up with more heartburn than fatburn.
