This is present in peppermint and spearmint and can also be made in the lab. Menthol is usually found in mint-flavored beverages and foods. In larger amounts, it can lower breast milk supply.
Present in turmeric and ginger, curcumin is known for its vibrant yellow color and flavor in dishes like curry. It can support fat metabolism but should be avoided by persons with blood clotting conditions, gallstones, gout, or kidney stones. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also refrain from curcumin supplements and raw ginger or turmeric.
This compound, found in spicy peppers like Habanero, jalapeno, cayenne, tabasco, and serrano, can promote metabolism and fat burning. However, people with gastrointestinal issues should be careful and start with small amounts to avoid irritation.
Found in mulberries, pistachios, peanuts, and red grapes, resveratrol can help reduce fat storage. However, those with blood clotting disorders, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or certain cancers should avoid it. It’s also advisable to stop taking food with resveratrol before surgery.
Rich in caffeine and catechins, green tea (including matcha) is known for enhancing fat-burning capabilities and reducing fat absorption due to its high antioxidant content.
Present in fatty fish like salmon, oysters, mackerel, and albacore tuna, as well as fish oil supplements, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, help support fat metabolism. However, those using blood clotting medications should consult a doctor before taking omega-3 supplements.
Most of these components are present in foods or supplements. The secret to any good diet is moderation. It is also preferable to use fat-burning products sparingly, only when necessary, and occasionally.
