Cumin, or jeera as we call it is a staple ingredient in any Indian household, we always have it available in our kitchens.
Simply letting these seeds soak overnight in water, creates a drink – jeera water – that has proven to have countless benefits for our bodies.
Jeera water is very beneficial for your stomach health and helps in improving digestion. It helps in secreting compounds such as carbohydrates, glucose and fat breaking enzymes that improve your metabolism.
It speeds up the process of the production of bile acids in the liver and helps in the digestion of fats. In addition, it improves bowel movement and helps in getting rid of problems such as indigestion, bloating and acidity as it contains powerful anti-gas chemicals.
Jeera has many anti-bacterial properties that fight against bacteria that cause pimples and help clear up the acne and also prevent future breakouts. Free radicals are toxins that enter our body and break down our skin’s protein, which causes blemishes and loose skin.
Jeera, being a dietary fibre, easily removes these toxins from our body.Jeera has a very positive effect on the heart. It is a natural antioxidant and is very helpful in not only protecting the heart but also treating a number of cardiac issues.
Drinking jeera water helps in strengthening the heart muscles, lowering the cholesterol level and preventing lipid accumulation. In doing so, the risk of heart blocks, heart attacks and blood clots gets significantly reduced.
