Research has found that one specific spice may have profound effects on metabolic health.<\/p>\n

Black cumin, known as Nigella sativa or black seed, is used in many Middle Eastern<\/a> and Indian dishes like curries and naan. It\u2019s also found in some baked goods and spice blends.<\/p>\n

High-antioxidant black seed oil is also sold as a dietary supplement, often used to support immunity, reduce inflammation and improve digestive health.<\/p>\n

EATING ONE TYPE OF NUT DAILY COULD LOWER ‘BAD’ CHOLESTEROL, IMPROVE HEART HEALTH, STUDY FINDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A recent study published in the journal Food Science & Nutrition examined black cumin\u2019s impact on cholesterol levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers in Osaka, Japan, conducted laboratory cell tests, as well as a randomized human trial in which participants consumed 5 grams of black cumin seed powder per day for eight weeks.<\/p>\n

Participants’ cholesterol levels and appetite levels were measured before and after they took the supplement.<\/p>\n

The human trial revealed a decrease in triglycerides, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and total cholesterol, as well as an increase in HDL (“good”) cholesterol.<\/p>\n

The findings also revealed a “significant improvement” in hunger levels, indicating black cumin\u2019s possible benefits for appetite control<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The researchers concluded that both in-vitro (lab) and human trials demonstrated black cumin’s “anti-adipogenic and lipid-lowering effects.”<\/p>\n

“The study highlights the potential of [black cumin seed extract] in improving lipid metabolism,” the authors wrote. “These results suggest that black cumin seed may serve as a promising natural agent in obesity-related conditions<\/a>, although further investigation involving comprehensive metabolic parameters is warranted.”<\/p>\n

Theresa Link, registered dietitian at Virta Health in Nebraska, reacted to these findings in an interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Cholesterol is “just one piece” of the cardiovascular health “puzzle,” the expert noted, which means these findings should be considered more broadly for metabolic health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Link also referred to a 2021 study that found black seed oil led to greater weight loss<\/a> in female participants who took it daily. The participants also reported feeling fuller, which “likely contributed to their success.”<\/p>\n

“While these short-term results are promising, the studies only lasted eight weeks,” the dietitian noted. “Black cumin seed alone isn\u2019t a magic bullet for preventing obesity, but may play a supportive role in weight management when combined with an overall healthy lifestyle<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The spice also contains a compound called thymoquinone, which is rich in antioxidants and could offer additional benefits.<\/p>\n

“Longer-term studies<\/a> are needed to confirm these effects and understand how N. sativa might fit into a broader approach to metabolic and cardiovascular health,” Link added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
