The scent of mint and its soothing effect on the digestive system can reduce the feeling of hunger.
Medianews.az reports, citing Musavat.com, that according to nutrition experts, the "magical" effect of mint is related to the menthol substance it contains.
Menthol reduces the desire to eat by sending a "meal is over" signal to the brain through the cool and refreshing sensation it creates in the mouth. Dietitians especially emphasize that a cup of mint tea strengthens this effect.
Scientific studies confirm the calming effect of mint particularly on the digestive system. Mint reduces bloating and discomfort that occur after eating.
Experts also state that chewing fresh mint is beneficial not only for oral health but also for activating metabolism.
Mint is an ideal choice for those who want to feel both light and energetic in the summer months. It can support the body's detox process and at the same time balance appetite changes that occur in hot weather.
