Jeera (cumin) water to start the day
Cumin is one of Ayurveda's favourite digestive spices. Water boiled with cumin seeds is a light, pleasant morning drink that fits well into a balanced routine for healthy weight.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1½ cups water
How to prepare
- Soak the cumin in the water overnight (optional, gives a stronger flavour).
- In the morning, boil for 5 minutes, strain and let it cool to a comfortable warmth.
How to use
- Sip on an empty stomach in the morning, and pair it with regular meals, plenty of vegetables and a daily walk.
Precautions
- Generally safe in food amounts. Pregnant women should check with their doctor before taking it daily.
- People on diabetes medicine should monitor their sugar, as cumin may slightly lower it.
- Healthy weight change is slow — be wary of any product promising rapid weight loss.
