The Magic of Saffron in Happy & Skinny
If you are a foodie, you might be familiar with saffron as a high-end spice, but did you know that it is also thought to have numerous health benefits. “Saffron is harvested by hand from the Crocus sativus flower, commonly known as the ‘saffron crocus.’ The term ‘saffron’ applies to the flower’s thread-like structures, or stigma. It originated in Greece, where it was revered for its medicinal properties. People would eat saffron to enhance libido, boost mood, and improve memory.” Today, here are a few of the ways that saffron is used to boost health and wellness:
• Saffron is often thought of us a powerful antioxidant. This plant “contains an impressive variety of plant compounds that act as antioxidants—molecules that protect your cells against free radicals and oxidative stress.”
• That aroma could do more than just smell great. “Safranal, a notable antioxidant in saffron, gives saffron its distinct taste and aroma. Research shows that it may help improve your mood, memory, and learning ability, as well as protect your brain cells against oxidative stress.” This is part of why saffron is nicknamed the “sunshine spice.”
• Saffron could help you with your health and fitness goals. “According to research, saffron may help prevent snacking by curbing your appetite. In one eight-week study, women taking saffron supplements felt significantly fuller, snacked less frequently, and lost significantly more weight than women in the placebo group. In another eight-week study, taking a saffron extract supplement helped significantly reduce appetite, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and total fat mass.”[1]
