MORNING  ROUTINE🌄

🌿 What Is Jeera Water?

Jeera water is just water infused with cumin seeds (jeera) — usually soaked overnight and then either drunk as is or boiled lightly before drinking. It’s a traditional drink in many Indian households.

🧠 How It Might Help with Diet & Weight Loss

✅ 1. Low-calorie

Jeera water has very few calories — much lower than sugary or packaged drinks — so it can help reduce overall calorie intake when used instead of high-calorie beverages. 

✅ 2. May Boost Metabolism

Some compounds in cumin may slightly raise thermogenesis (the body’s calorie-burning process), which can support weight-loss efforts when paired with good diet and exercise. 

✅ 3. Aids Digestion

Jeera water can stimulate digestive enzymes, help reduce bloating, gas and indigestion, and improve gut comfort — which makes you feel lighter and better able to stick to your diet. 

✅ 4. Appetite Support

Drinking it before meals might give a small sense of fullness, which could help reduce overeating.

Before meals — may help control appetite.
