Studies have shown that cinnamon can boost your metabolism. Not saying it will
boost it for the whole day or raise your metabolism in the long run, but by
using cinnamon your metabolism can boost 8% for about 20 minutes after
consumption. This isn’t a huge
boost, but it’s something. I know when I am on a diet or trying to loose
a few I will take any calorie save or calorie burner to help me meet my goals.
Here are some great foods to add cinnamon to:
-- Coffee, sprinkle some in each cup you have.
-- A multi-gran english muffin with a little spray butter.
-- Applesauce
-- Emeralds Roasted Cinnamon Almonds.
-- Oatmeal
-- Cinnamon Burst Cheerios
-- Iced Tea (Click here for
Dr. Oz’s recipe)
A lot of these are breakfast foods or snacks, but with fall
around the corner this is a perfect time to add the flavor more into your meals
as well. I know every time the
season comes around I always see different dinner recipes either in magazines
or from family/friends that use this spice. A big one around the holidays is sweat
potatoes. In my research I have
found it is also very common to add cinnamon to meats.
I will be sure to post about a yummy cinnamon spiced dinner
recipe I try! In the mean time if
anyone has any to share, feel free! :)
