A homemade remedy for weight loss. Add a bit of popular spice to your tea

How to effectively get rid of excess belly fat? For this purpose, tea with the addition of a popular spice, pepper, will work. Piperine contained in pepper - a compound responsible for the sharp taste of the spice - breaks down fat cells and supports metabolism. Piperine works by increasing the emission of thermal energy, which leads to an increase in the body's energy consumption. The first area where the action of piperine is focused is adipose tissue, which is the main energy storage in our body.

Additionally, pepper has the ability to stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, which in turn translates to an improvement in digestive processes. However, it's worth noting that pepper may adversely affect those suffering from heartburn. Thus, all those struggling with excess acidity should be cautious and avoid adding too much pepper to their meals.

Why should you still add pepper to your tea? Such a remedy is excellent for warming up a chilled body, so it works well during fall-winter infections. Additionally, it fights inflammation, promotes sweating, and speeds up the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections and colds.

How to prepare tea with pepper? What should be added to the infusion?

Here, whole pepper grains will work best. For one cup of tea, a quarter of a teaspoon of crushed pepper grains is enough. After brewing for five minutes, strain the brew, add honey (after it has cooled down) and a slice of lemon, and drink in small sips. The concoction will taste good when combined with either juice or raspberry jam. Those who love spiciness, can add a bit of ginger.

If you want to further increase the benefits of adding pepper to your tea, you can try combining it with turmeric. Piperine increases the absorption of curcumin, a substance found in turmeric, which is known for its strong anti-cancer properties. Therefore, a mixture of pepper and turmeric might be extremely effective in fighting various ailments. Additionally, turmeric aids in metabolism.
