According to the Journal of Medicinal Food, cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon can stimulate the body's thermogenesis process, thereby helping to speed up calorie burning at a mild but steady level. Along with that, studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also show that cinnamon helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, stabilize blood sugar after meals and limit the feeling of hunger quickly.
In addition to its effect on blood sugar, cinnamon tea is also warming, supporting blood circulation and better digestion. An effective digestive system helps the body reduce excess fat accumulation, especially in the abdomen. This is also an effect noted in the National Library of Medicine report.
To use, you can mix 12 cinnamon bars with hot water, leave it on for 10 minutes and drink it 30 minutes before breakfast or after dinner. Combined with honey or ginger will increase the effectiveness of supporting digestion and reducing water retention in the body.
Despite its many benefits, nutritionists recommend not drinking more than 2 cups of cinnamon tea per day, especially for people with liver disease or taking anticoagulants.
