Weight loss
Lemon juice and water can help in losing fat according to BBC. Lemon contains pectin fibers, which help to relieve feelings of hunger.
Pectin also slows down digestion, making you feel more comfortable. An American study also shows that lemon acid and pectin slow down sugar absorption after eating.
Honey is an ideal supplement when it comes to serving as a sweetener, as it keeps blood sugar levels stable and can help you lose weight. Honey also contains minerals and vitamins known to accelerate your metabolism.
Cinnamon, meanwhile, contains an ingredient called cinnamaldehyde that helps the body burn calories. Researchers at the University of Michigan have found that cinnamon activates your metabolism and initiates fat burning.
It’s naturally hard to say how many kilos you can lose by adding this drink to your diet, but hopefully it will yield results – psychologically if nothing else!
