It is believed that calcium in milk, yogurt and cheese plays a key role in terms of this effect.

Another research also indicates that teenage girls who eat a high fiber cereal for breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy body mass index over a period of ten years.

Black pepper seems to stimulate metabolism, ginger has thermogenic properties and mixed spices have a positive impact on metabolism.
