Scientists have discovered that a spice commonly used in takeaways could help tackle obesity.
When it comes to weight-loss, it's usually advised to steer clear of takeaways in your diet but one study has found that one tasty cheat meal could actually help you shed those extra pounds.
Speaking about the research findings, principal investigator Dr Luis Cisneros-Zevallos said: “Cardamom is little known in the US but very common in other parts of the world. They explained that cardamom helps to control the system that regulates how fat is broken down and the process of energy being created in the liver and muscles.
Published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, the study also implied that the spice could help decrease low-grade inflammation that can lead to chronic health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. Certain spice blends, including garam masala and curry powder, often contain cardamom, which can also be ingredients in sweet treats, such as cakes, puddings and cookies.
