Here are some shares from clinical nutritionist Deepti Khatuja at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon about the use of curry leaves to lose weight.
Benefits of curry leaves for weight loss
Curry leaves contain mahanimbine - an ancaloit that has anti-obesity, lipid reduction and digestive improvement effects. When used on an empty stomach, curry leaves can help purify the body, boost metabolism, thereby supporting calorie burning and limiting fat storage.
How to use curry leaves to support weight loss
Nutritionists suggest some simple ways to add curry leaves to your daily diet:
- Add to dishes: Use curry leaves in familiar dishes to enhance flavor and support health.
- Eat on an empty stomach: Chewing curry leaves directly in the morning helps increase metabolism and purify the body.
- Drink curry leaf water: Boil 10 - 20 curry leaves, strain the leaf carcass, add a little honey and lemon juice, drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
However, curry leaves are only effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Spend at least 30 - 45 minutes a day, 6 days a week on physical activity to lose weight safely and sustainably.
