Salt, lemon and pepper may seem more like things you’d put on a salad, but these three ingredients actually work separately and together as medicine. In fact, many communities around the world still rely on these staples to cure everyday ailments.

With the rising cost of medical care in America, many people are revisiting these time-tested methods to help them get back on their feet. Here are 9 everyday health problems you can cure with black pepper, lemon and sea salt.

1. Sore Throat

Relieve a sore throat, mix 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, half a teaspoon each of black pepper and a full teaspoon of sea salt into a glass of warm water.

Gargle several times a day to soothe a sore throat and prevent coughing (1).

2. Stuffy Nose

If your nose is clogged up, you can relieve stuffiness by getting yourself to sneeze. Simply mix equal amounts of black pepper, cinnamon, cumin and cardamom seeds into a mortar and pestle and grind until you make a powder. Slowly smell the mixture and embrace the sneeze (2).

3. Clear Gallstones

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder. They can be painful and clog up your digestive system. Typically, the stone have to be surgically removed (3).

However, some people find relief by taking 3 parts olive oil and 1 part each of lemon and black pepper to dissolve the stones.

4. Canker Sores

To promote healing of the mucous membranes in your mouth, dissolve a tablespoon of Himalayan salt into a cup of warm water and swish it around your mouth after every meal. This will help clear away bad bacteria and promote healing. If you’re brave, add a little lemon too: it’ll sting, but your cancer sore will quickly melt away.

3. True: All Calories are not Created Equal.

When it comes to weight loss, consider the rates at which different nutrients are burned during digestion:

• twenty to thirty percent of proteins
• six percent of carbohydrates
• three percent of fat

The majority of your daily calories should, therefore, come from protein.

As an example, more of the one thousand calories worth of chicken will be used in the digestive process than one thousand calories of pasta, leading to greater weight loss. Thermogenesis refers to the amount of heat the body produces when it burns food for energy. Alcohols and proteins generate more heat in their digestion than carbs and fats. Furthermore, proteins lead to greater satiety, so you feel full after eating less in volume. (5)

4. False (mostly): Eating Late at Night Leads to Weight Gain.

Let’s first qualify: eating after 6:00 p.m. won’t cause you to pack on pounds depending on what and how much you eat.

The British Journal of Nutrition published a study in 2016 of children aged four to eighteen years and found that the timing of their evening meals didn’t increase the risk of weight gain or obesity. (6) If you eat at 6:00 p.m., again at 8:00, and again at 11:00, however, you’ve probably eaten more than you need and that’s what will affect your weight. If you eat a salad, it’ll take longer to digest than a bowl of ice cream.

Dessert is a sticky point when it comes to weight loss efforts. This type of food is usually the first to be cut from our diets, especially after dinner. We now know that added and refined sugars lead to inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, skin problems, and other health issues. Denying yourself a sweet treat, however, can eventually cause you to cave in and overeat, even regaining any weight you may have lost.

A study performed by the U.S. Endocrine Society found that if you eat dessert—whatever it may be—after a hearty morning meal rather than after your evening meal, you may experience decreased hunger and fewer cravings during the day.

“The goal of a weight loss diet should be not only weight reduction but also reduction of hunger and cravings, thus helping prevent weight regain”, said the study’s lead researcher. (7)

The remarkable bonus is that you can still enjoy (in moderation) the dessert you crave!

The body is an infinitely complex machine. Weight loss is a concerted effort, not one simple act. For every conscious action you take, there’s a physical reaction. Knowing the facts about how your body’s metabolism works will help you to make the best choices for yourself and your weight loss goals.
