1. Obviously, reducing fat intake and reducing food in general is of great importance for weight loss.

1. Other studies have shown that turmeric can make your weight loss diet more effective. In other words, it is faster.

1. Brown adipose tissue is an important part of heat production for humans. During sports and exercise, and even when standing still, this type of fat is constantly burned.

1. White adipose tissue, on the other hand, is the type of fat that has almost remained. Very, very difficult to burn.

1. It has now become known that white adipose tissue can be changed into brown adipose tissue. (4) That's fantastic news, of course!

1. Curcumin, an important component in Turmeric, is the substance that can support and even accelerate this process. This increases the level of Norepinephrine, which promotes the process from white to brown adipose tissue. This ultimately burns fat faster, which also makes you lose weight faster.

1. In short: Eating Turmeric can promote fat burning, as it promotes the transformation of white to brown adipose tissue. This is very effective in weight loss.

1. In short: Taking Turmeric helps in weight loss due to the Thermogenic effect. An increased metabolism burns the calories and fat extra fast, promoting weight loss.

1. Obesity is often associated with overweight. Pro-inflammatory substances were almost always found in overweight or obese people. Substances that cause inflammation. (6)

1. After all, fat tissue produces substances that we call adipokines. Some of these, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, can initiate an inflammatory response.

1. If you are overweight, ie too much fat deposits in the body, this inflammatory action of the adipokines leads to the production of oxidative stress.

1. This process further leads to other diseases and conditions such as the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, etc. etc.

1. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory substance and can be very effective in counteracting the inflammation of those nasty adipokines.

1. It is now a well-known fact that turmeric, with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can be an important element in the fight against the inflammation associated with overweight and obesity.

1. How this works? Turmeric regulates the activity of adipokines and regulates glucose and fatty acid content. In this way, the oxidative stress of the inflammatory adipokines is reduced.

1. In short: Turmeric can drastically reduce the inflammation and oxidative stress associated with obesity. In this way you prevent diseases and conditions that often accompany overweight and obesity.

1. The risk of diabetes is one of the greatest dangers for someone who is overweight or diabetic. That is why prevention is doubly important for overweight people.

1. The best way to prevent metabolic syndrome is, of course, to balance your weight. Get rid of that overweight!

1. Turmeric is a very effective remedy for the metabolic syndrome. It lowers your cholesterol, your triglycerides, and your blood sugar. This hive is a collective method against the metabolic syndrome.

1. In short: Losing weight is the best method, but the use of Turmeric can also help prevent and treat the metabolic syndrome in overweight people.

1. Depression is another complication associated with overweight people. This form of depression has a strong negative effect, especially on attempts to cope with obesity.

1. Many studies have confirmed the relationship between obesity and depression from both sides. That is to say: Obesity can lead to depression, and depression can lead to overweight. (8)

1. Metabolic disorders, caused by overweight in the body, have been associated with depressive behavior. These conditions include inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal disorders.
