Easter has come to an end. So let’s go back to old eating habits, and even introduce a few new, supporting digestion, facilitating slimming. One of them is drinking coffee with the addition of cardamom. Thanks to the seasoning metabolism scratches with the hoop.
Recently, adding different coffee spices is on top. You can add cinnamon or even chili to it. This time, however, we will focus on a cardamom with a lemon-impression. What health properties does it have?
Cardamom contains vitamins C and B6, as well as minerals, i.e. calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus. Its main ingredient is cardamom, which accelerates metabolism and helps in cleansing the body.
Coffee with this spice supports the slimming process. Reduces fat, and thus blocks fat accumulation and accelerates calorie burning. Of course, balanced diet and physical activity are also important.
The cardamom has a beneficial effect on the digestive system without a doubt. Its regular consumption helps to reduce nausea, flatulence, indigestion and heartburn. It can also work in antispasmodics.
As mentioned, it has cleansing properties because it has a diuretic effect, and thus flushes toxins from the body. In addition, it prevents water retention in the body and also reduces blood pressure. Therefore, it reduces the risk of heart disease, but also diabetes and cancer.
We will buy ground cardamom in almost every store. We can also use its green pods, but then we have to grind them ourselves.
Preparation of cardamom coffee is very easy. Just add 1/4 teaspoon of this spice to a small black cup. When slimming, it’s best to give up additives that conquer the caloric content of the drink. I am talking about milk and sugar.
Nothing prevents you from adding cardamom to tea. It goes perfectly with black or green.
Remember not to drink more than 3 cups a day. With more we can expect side effects, i.e. increased heart rate or insomnia.
