May decrease appetite and contribute to weight loss

One habit that can cause you to gain weight unintentionally is snacking.
According to research, saffron can help prevent snacking by lowering your appetite.
In an eight-week study, women taking a saffron supplement felt significantly fuller,
took fewer snacks, and lost significantly more weight than women in the placebo group.
Another eight-week study found that saffron extract contributed significantly to a decrease in appetite,
BMI, waist size and total fat mass.
However, scientists are not sure how saffron causes weight loss and reduced appetite.
One theory is that it improves your mood, which may decrease your need to snack.
Saffron has been shown to reduce your appetite and snack less.
That in turn can cause you to lose weight.

Possible effect as an aphrodisiac

An aphrodisiac is a food or supplement that increases libido.
Studies indicate that saffron may act as an aphrodisiac – especially in people taking antidepressants.
For example, a daily intake of 30 mg of saffron for four weeks
caused erectile function to improve in men with erectile dysfunction related to antidepressant use,
while a placebo had no effect.
In addition, an analysis of six studies found that saffron significantly improved erectile function,
libido, and overall satisfaction, but not the properties of the seed.
In women with low sexual desire due to the use of antidepressants,
30 mg of saffron per day for four weeks reduced sex-related pain
and increased sex drive and lubrication,
compared to a placebo.
Saffron can act as an aphrodisiac for both women and men,
especially in people taking antidepressants.

In women between the ages of 20 and 45 who took 30 mg of saffron per day,
saffron was found to be more helpful than placebo in treating symptoms such as irritability,
headaches, food cravings and pain.
Another study found that ingesting the scent of saffron for 20 minutes alone
helped combat symptoms of PMS such as anxiety and anxiety
and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Both eating and smelling saffron seem to help with PMS symptoms such as irritability,
headaches, cravings, pain and anxiety.

Easy to add to your diet

In small doses, saffron has a subtle taste and aroma that goes well with savory dishes such as paella, risotto and other rice dishes.
The best way to bring out the unique flavor of saffron is to soak the threads in hot – not boiling – water. Add the threads and water to the recipe for a deeper, richer flavor.
