It is widely known that the right combinations of certain products and spices can significantly improve our health, while other combinations are not recommended. Do you realize that there are three things in your kitchen whose consumption can aid in weight loss, protect against infections, and have anti-aging effects? We're talking about natural yogurt enriched with cinnamon and cardamom.

The foundation of this healthy combo is natural yogurt. This product is a treasure trove of protein, which is a fundamental component of muscles, bones, and skin and also plays a role in the production of enzymes and hormones. However, it is primarily the presence of probiotics that makes yogurt so valuable for the digestive system—it supports digestion, helps fight constipation, and protects against infections.

Additionally, yogurt provides the body with other valuable nutrients: calcium (essential for strong bones and healthy teeth), B vitamins (beneficial for eye health, skin, and the nervous system), potassium (necessary for the heart), and magnesium (which supports, among other things, energy production). When buying yogurt, it is worth noting that you should avoid those with added sugar.

Cinnamon and cardamom: More than just flavour

Adding cinnamon and cardamom to yogurt enhances its flavour and brings numerous health benefits. Cinnamon is known for its ability to stabilize blood sugar levels, which helps maintain proper weight. Consuming about one to six grams (0.04 to 0.21 ounces) of cinnamon daily can bring significant benefits, such as reducing lipids, triglycerides, and blood sugar levels.

Cardamom, on the other hand, accelerates calorie burning by raising the body temperature due to its thermogenic properties. Studies suggest it may also help maintain a feeling of fullness, limiting excessive calorie intake. Moreover, cardamom positively affects blood sugar levels and liver health.

Both spices are rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, meaning their health benefits go beyond just weight management.
