Visceral fat: The 65p spice that boosts metabolism and sheds the harmful fat ‘in weeks’ - Express

One body of research suggests cardamom may help rid the body of fat that accumulates in the body’s abdominal region.

The study was conducted on rodents fed with a high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet for eight weeks who went on to develop visceral adiposity and impaired glucose tolerances.

They noted: “We report that addition of black cardamom to the diet improved the signs of metabolic syndrome much more effectively than green cardamom.

The researchers noted that the rats fed black cardamom “showed marked reversals of diet-induced changes, with decreased visceral adiposity, total body fat mass, systolic blood pressure and plasma triglycerides, and structure and function of the heart and liver“.

Conversely, rodents who received green cardamom saw “increased visceral adiposity and total body fat mass, and increased heart and liver damage, without consistent improvements in the signs of metabolic syndrome”.

“These results suggest that black cardamom is more effective in reversing the signs of metabolic syndrome than green cardamom.”.
