Health benefits
Cumin is used for its medicinal properties in many parts of the world, especially in Southeast Asian states and Iran.
The seeds contain powerful antioxidants such as thioquinone, which help fight oxidative stress in the body and prevent cell damage.
At the same time, they have anti-inflammatory properties and reduce inflammation in the body, thus being important for the prevention of chronic diseases.
Regular consumption of cumin seeds supports the immune system due to the content of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
They also help improve digestion and can reduce indigestion symptoms such as bloating and gas.
It is effective in weight control by reducing appetite and improving metabolism.
A 2015 study of overweight adults compared the weight-loss effects of cumin with those of a weight-loss drug and a placebo. After 8 weeks, the researchers found that both the cumin group and the weight loss medication group had lost significant weight. People in the cumin group also experienced a decrease in insulin levels.
Another 2014 study cited by Medical News Today, according to dcnews.ro, found that overweight or obese women who consumed 3 grams of cumin powder in yogurt every day for 3 months experienced significant decreases in body weight, waist size, and body fat.
Cumin seeds also help maintain skin health due to their antioxidant content and anti-inflammatory properties.
Consuming 3g of cumin powder per day resulted in lower total cholesterol levels, lower low-density lipoprotein, or “bad” cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Those who consumed cumin powder had higher levels of high-density lipoprotein, or “good” cholesterol.
Studies have also shown that cumin seeds can help with reducing blood sugar levels.
Preliminary research suggests that cumin seeds may have anticancer potential, thanks to the active compounds.
A small pilot study from 2013 looked at the effects of consuming drops of cumin essential oil on symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). After 4 weeks, study participants saw improvements in many symptoms, such as stomach pain and bloating.
Cumin also helps manage stress and combat its effects by acting as an antioxidant. Cumin seeds are a more effective antioxidant than vitamin C.
