Winters are here and we cannot contain our excitement. Soon our kitchens would also make way for all things winter-y and warm, and one of the first transitions would be in our choice of spices. Spices like turmeric, saffron, cinnamon, fenugreek, star anise and nutmeg are classified as winter spices. They help warm up the body from within and prepare it for the nippy weather. According to experts, all these spices have potent antioxidants and nutrients that help boost immunity too; this is why they have been so widely used in warming concoctions or Kadhas in Ayurveda since time immemorial. Some of these spices have fat-burning and weight-loss friendly properties too. Here are 3 winter spices that you must include in your winter diet for weight loss:
