If you want to boost your metabolism a bit, you just need to “upgrade” your coffee. As MedikForum writes with reference to nutritionist Igor Strokov, just a pinch of cinnamon in tea or coffee works wonders when it comes to losing weight.
“The spice is very useful. Calcium, iron and magnesium are found in cinnamon bark, he explained. In addition, essential oils and antioxidants have anti-inflammatory effects. The oils also relax the digestive muscles.”
Cinnamon provides many benefits for weight loss. Secondary plant substances lower blood sugar levels.
One study showed that blood sugar levels dropped by 30% after participants consumed one gram of cinnamon, that is, half a teaspoon, per day. Low blood sugar, in turn, promotes fat burning.
“A pure spice, of course, is not very tasty. However, if you put a pinch of cinnamon in a cup of tea or coffee, you can enjoy an interesting spice. So it’s easier to do without excess sweetness in a hot drink. Thus, you will save a few extra calories in terms of weight loss, ”the doctor added.
