In The Wall Street Journal article, Julia highlights the potential of spices like “cinnamon and peppermint may help diminish feelings of hunger, according to some studies,” offering a flavorful approach to regulating dietary impulses. Her recommendations center around simple yet effective strategies, such as swapping out sugar for cinnamon in coffee or indulging in a cup of soothing peppermint tea to combat mindless snacking urges.
