How honey is beneficial in weight loss?
Honey is no doubt a type of sugar. Unlike other dietary sweeteners which contain carbohydrates, honey contains minerals as well as vitamins. While digesting sugar our body uses up the vitamins as well as minerals found in our tissues. Thus, this results in deficit of vitamins as well as minerals in our body. Such deficit is not there when one takes honey as it is not only rich source of carbohydrates but also contains a lot of vitamins as well as minerals. Thus the metabolism of our fats as well as cholesterol remains unhindered when these dietary sugars are replaced with honey. Honey also helps digestion. If one takes this after a heavy meal, then one avoids any kind of problems that may come up on account of overeating.
How cinnamon helps in weight loss?
Cinnamon sticks when taken can control the cholesterol level. It lowers down the bad cholesterol in our bodies. While lowering the bad cholesterol, it also at the same time maintains the level of good cholesterol in our body. The blood sugar levels are also regulated. It also helps in fighting against obesity as well as insulin resistance. Cinnamon is very beneficial for patients suffering from diabetes as it helps them in making use of less insulin.

1. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder to a cup of hot water. (Some people like to use the cinnamon sticks instead)
2. Stir this mixture and then leave to cool for 30 mins.
3. Once cool, add 2 teaspoons of raw honey to the cup.( Do not add the honey to hot water as it apparently takes out the goodness)
4. Stir mixture.
Drink one cup of this drink in the morning on an empty stomach 30 mins before breakfast. Then drink 1 cup of this last thing before you go to bed.
Some people just like to drink the honey in water without the cinnamon.
