The journey to weight loss can be a struggle. We have to maintain strict eating habits along with exercising regularly. Every little thing that we put in our body counts, whether it could be the glasses of water we drink or the number of roti we eat for lunch. Therefore, it is always better to make conscious decisions about our food and try to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle. One of the ways you can do this is by adding saunf water to your everyday routine. While saunf is popularly known to be eaten after a meal, saunf water can be had any time of the day!
According to Macrobiotic Coach and Nutritionist Shilpa Arora, “fennel seeds help in digestion and metabolism, leading better absorption of nutrients from food, hence fewer hunger pangs, further helping in weight loss. They are also quite effective in helping cure water retention, especially for women suffering from PMS. Infused fennel water is a therapy to cleanse the gut and is quite effective for people suffering from chronic constipation.” Clearly, saunf is a multi-talented seed that can give many benefits. Why not make one of those benefits to be weight loss?
