Study Description

Obesity is a global health concern that significantly affects individuals, and its prevalence is still rising at an alarming rate. Pakistan is also experiencing an increasing prevalence of obesity, resulting in elevated morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. While various treatments are available, they often come with negative side effects that can reduce a patient's quality of life. Correspondingly, natural remedies have a kindle appeal that can enhance overall health and well-being. In Pakistani culture, natural condiments have been used for their health and therapeutic benefits. Cinnamon, an ancient spice commonly found in various regions, contains active ingredients that offer several health benefits. However, there is limited scientific data regarding the effects of cinnamon on body composition, especially among obese university students in Pakistan. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the potential outcome of orally consuming cinnamon for weight management in obese university students in Pakistan. As a result, the study may provide effective evidence-based strategies for maintaining healthy body weight and exploring the potential use of cinnamon as a natural treatment option.
