Obesity is characterized by an excess of adipose tissue and is rapidly increasing among adults and children. It poses numerous health risks, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Addressing obesity is crucial due to these associated health risks. A reduction of 7500 kilocalories results in approximately 1 kg weight loss. Medications for obesity fall into two main categories: appetite suppressants and gastrointestinal fat inhibitors. Treatment response should be evaluated after three months.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most common method for classifying weight status and obesity-related disease risk. Women generally have more body fat than men at the same BMI. Additionally, regional fat distribution can influence obesity-related risks. Central obesity is independently associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Cumin is used in weight-reducing formulations due to its thermogenic effects, which increase metabolic rate and promote lipolysis. Recent studies indicate that cumin essence can neutralize free radicals and prevent the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Cumin aldehyde in cumin essence inhibits aldose reductase and alpha-glucosidase, enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
