Eating fennel can prevent six diseases.

Introduction: Fennel is not only used for cooking, but it also has medicinal value and is rich in vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. As a complementary and alternative medicine therapy, fennel can be used to treat various diseases. The U.S. "Medical Daily" recently summarized the 6 health benefits of fennel.

Prevention of osteoporosis. A research result published in the "International Journal of Molecular Medicine" in 2012 showed that eating fennel can prevent the loss of bone minerals and the occurrence of osteoporosis. This is because fennel can reduce the number of osteoclasts, thereby exerting a protective effect on bones.

Relieving bloating. Fennel can be used as a carminative to expel gas from the gastrointestinal tract, thereby alleviating gastrointestinal pain and discomfort symptoms associated with indigestion, bloating, nausea, belching, and flatulence.

Reducing menstrual pain. Fennel helps the body's muscles to relax. The nutrients it contains have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antispasmodic effects, thereby alleviating the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in women. A research result published in the "Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine" in 2012 showed that taking 4 capsules containing 30 mg of fennel extract daily for 3 days starting from the onset of menstruation can reduce menstrual pain.

Reducing obesity. Eating fennel helps suppress appetite because it is a good source of dietary fiber, which can make people feel full. A research result published in the "Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition" in 2006 showed that it can increase the metabolic rate, control overeating; dissolve fats deposited in the blood; and act as a natural diuretic to reduce water retention, thus avoiding weight gain.
