When you’re trying to lose weight, every single thing you put into your body is important to your overall results. Most people only think about the things they are eating and drinking, but there are actually a few other factors you should be thinking about: vitamins.
Vitamins can play a huge role in your diet because they can help deliver important tools that your body needs to maintain wellness and burn fat. The best type of vitamins for this are anti-inflammatories because they can detox your body from the inflammation caused by unhealthy foods and speed up your metabolism.
If you’re working on a new diet plan for 2020, you should add the vitamin curcumin into your routine because it is a strong anti-inflammatory. This vitamin is a component of the spice turmeric, which is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties. When added to a well-balanced diet, curcumin can reduce inflammation throughout the body.
Curcumin also have anti-aging benefits on the skin. Dr. Gretchen Frieling, Board-Certified Dermatopathologist, told SheFinds: "Studies show that curcumin helps suppress harmful free radicals in the skin; it speeds up the healing of wounds by improving collagen’s role in repairing damage.”
This vitamin is poorly absorbed into the body when taken on its own, so the best way to intake more curcumin is by using turmeric when you are cooking more often, or to take a supplement form of curcumin with food.
