Want To Burn More Fat? Put These 3 Things In Your Coffee Page 2

1. Organic coconut oil

When it comes to oil and fat — what is healthy and what isn’t — science has greatly changed its opinion over the past several decades. Coconut oil has garnered much interest, becoming one of the most popular superfoods that are recommended for raw and cooked consumption.

Of course, coconut oil is fat, but it is the healthier version. While most of the other fats contain long-chain fatty acids, the coconut oil is comprised almost entirely of medium-chain fatty acids that metabolize differently. Medium-chain fatty acids are sent to the liver by the digestive system where they are either converted to ketone bodies or energy. There are also a few studies that have observed metabolic changes and fat loss in response to medium-chain triglycerides, which make up about 65 % of coconut oil. Researchers found medium-chain triglycerides to increase the metabolism, reduce appetite and calorie intake and promote the fat loss.

And so, adding coconut oil to your morning coffee could be very beneficial for shedding the excess weight. In a Malaysian study, researchers found that coconut oil decreases body fat and waist circumference without having to intentionally reduce the calories. In another Brazilian study which compared calorie-restricted diets, researchers noted a decreased abdominal fat in persons who consumed coconut oil. The bottom line is that coconut oil is natural thermogenic, which means it increases your basal metabolic rate and energy. The result is more efficient, and fat-burning cup of coffee.

2. Raw honey

Similar as the processed sugar, honey is sweet. But not like the processed sugar, it is a natural sweetener that is rich in vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C, riboflavin and niacin. It also contains many minerals including sodium, iron, calcium, zinc, phosphorus and potassium. Eating honey could also help increase the levels of the “good” cholesterol in the body and reduce the cardiovascular strain, as it was stated in a research published in The Scientific World Journal. When compared to sucrose and dextrose, honey also lowers the blood-sugar elevation in diabetics.

So, what happens when you add honey to the coffee? Normally, the fat remains as an unused resource in the body, adding weight and bulk. But it’s believed that honey can activate this stored fat to provide energy for your daily activities. This means you can lead a more healthy, and active life, which will further promote weight loss. For best results, you better use raw honey.

3. Cinnamon

Cinnamon is abundant in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties which help to fight infections and inflammation in the body. It also lowers the blood sugar levels in the body to help keep you fell full for longer, which helps in weight reduction.

Cinnamon boosts your metabolism and helps prevent the accumulation of fat in the body by supporting the conversion of sugar in energy. There are 2 types of cinnamon —cassia and ceylon. But which one is better? While both types are coming from the inner bark of the cinnamomum tree, cassia is typically darker and it has a much more pungent flavor. On the other hand, Ceylon is considered to be finer and more delicate thanks to its sweeter taste. Although the 2 are similar, they have some very distinct differences which could impact your health.

Cassia cinnamon is among the largest sources of coumarin, known to be toxin and able to affect the liver. It’s also a potential carcinogenic. Ceylon cinnamon does not contain coumarin as well or it contains such trace amounts that it’s undetectable. Therefore, the best choice is always ceylon cinnamon.
