Whether it's weight loss or sugar control, drink a pinch of cinnamon mixed in a glass of water; the benefits will surprise you.

News Topical, Digital Desk : Imagine, one item in your kitchen spice box could solve two of your biggest health issues. Yes, we're talking about cinnamon. A spice that not only enhances the flavor of your kheer or biryani, but also secretly works magic inside your body.

Did you know that by simply adding a pinch of cinnamon to a glass of water every morning, you can lose stubborn weight and control rising blood sugar levels.

Magician in losing weight

If you want to lose weight, cinnamon water can help you.

• Boosts metabolism: Cinnamon speeds up your body's metabolism. When your metabolism is faster, your body burns more calories, which helps with weight loss.
• Controls hunger: This spice helps control hunger and cravings. Drinking it can help keep you feeling full for longer, preventing you from snacking on unhealthy foods.
• Melt fat: Some research suggests that cinnamon may slow down the process of fat accumulation in the body and help melt already accumulated fat, especially fat around the belly.

A panacea for sugar patients

Cinnamon is considered anti-diabetic for diabetic patients.

• Improves insulin sensitivity: Cinnamon makes the body's cells more sensitive to insulin. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Improved sensitivity makes it easier to control sugar.
• Lowers blood sugar: This spice helps slow down the entry of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal, preventing a sudden spike in sugar levels.
• Storehouse of Antioxidants: Cinnamon is rich in antioxidants, which also help in reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Cinnamon water is not only beneficial for weight and sugar, but also for many other health problems:

• Strengthens the digestive system: It maintains a healthy digestive system and is effective in relieving problems like gas, acidity, and constipation.
• Keeps the heart healthy: Cinnamon helps in reducing bad cholesterol (LDL) , which reduces the risk of heart diseases and keeps your heart healthy.
• Boosts immunity: It has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, which strengthen your immunity and protect you from seasonal infections like cold and cough.

How to make cinnamon water?

It's super easy to make and can easily be incorporated into your daily routine:

• Take a glass of lukewarm water. Add half or one teaspoon of cinnamon powder to it. If you prefer, you can soak a one-inch cinnamon stick in the water overnight and drink it after warming it slightly in the morning.
• For added flavor, you can add a little lemon juice or a pinch of honey (if you're not diabetic). It's worth noting that consuming this magical drink on an empty stomach in the morning is considered most beneficial.
