Cinnamon Spice Of Life Helps Burn Abdominal Fat?

Want to lose belly fat or get rid belly fat?

So what is this miracle spice that can rid belly fat or banish ugly abdominal fat?

Well, how to lose belly fat… some call it a miracle belly-fat spice for fat burning!

Obviously cinnamon does not directly increase fat burning (i,e. increase metabolic rate), it can essentially help you to burn abdominal fat.

You simply get healthier lifestyle and leaner in an indirect way.

Why?

Because cinnamon is one of the most overlooked, yet healthiest spices in the world. Yes, it can help you win the battle against the bulge by using it daily.

Allow me to explain…

Firstly, here are five benefits of eating cinnamon:

* Controls blood sugar levels
* Maintain insulin sensitivity
* Very powerful antioxidant
* Antibacterial properties
* Anti-fungal properties
* Dozens of other benefits…

Here’s how Cinnamon works…

Although cinnamon has many health benefits, you get leaner through it’s strong effect on controlling blood sugar levels in your body.

In a study published in 2003 from the medical journal Diabetes Care, one group was split in two, first group ate 1 – 6 grams of cinnamon per day in capsule form (approx 1/4th to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon).

The results of the study showed that cinnamon reduced fasting blood glucose levels by 18-29% after 40 days.

Cinnamon also increases insulin sensitivity, which means your body control blood sugar while simultaneously producing less insulin.

Chronically high insulin levels can make your body pack on the fat.

How to harness cinnamon and lose stubborn belly fat… add cinnamon daily for breakfast or meals, sprinkle in yogurt or cottage cheese, in smoothies, oatmeal, etc…

Also, you could take a daily dose (cinnamon capsule) before each of your meals.

This helps control blood sugar and insulin response from eating foods and thereby controlling your appetite and cravings throughout the day…

In other words you’re helping to lose body fat more effectively over time.

Now you can see why cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant that helps you stay youthful longer, this spice of life helps you to control blood sugar and get a leaner sexier body too!

How To Eliminate Your Cravings Quickly?

Cravings can be more than just a little desire for chocolate or a particular sweets and foods…

Physical cravings for sugar cravings and foods that contain lots of sugar, fat or salt can be intense and lead to binging.

What do you crave? Well, whatever you crave for makes it difficult to lose weight and have the body you want.

There are 2 reasons for this...

One is that we are hungry.

When you go a while without eating food, your body often will crave the sweetest (chocolate) or densest foods imaginable (chocolate cake).

Your body may have associated calorie dense foods with burgers or fries.

It just wants to get those calories in…don’t worry, it’s not your fault and you
are not alone.

The other reason is that we are simply addicted.

A lot of the food we put into our body has chemicals within that make it addictive.

One of these is called HCAs (Heterocyclic Amines).

Cheese contains morphine and chocolate of course has caffeine as well as sugar. They can send us into a downward spiral that is difficult to escape.

However you can get out of it quite easily by making the right changes to your lifestyle.

First of all it is really important that you start eating breakfast and start eating consistently throughout the day (at least every 2-3 hours).

You have to make eating a priority otherwise you find time and time again the evening comes around and you’ll be craving beyond belief.

You’ll end up going on a massive binge…

Of course though there are ways to calm that feeling down immediately too but the best thing to do is avoid the situation completely.

If you find yourself in an intense mess by the evening then its time to start eating fruit.

This might puzzle you and you may be thinking that fruit is the last thing you
would consider eating as it will make your cravings worse, but it won’t!

It won’t as long as you eat enough.

In tense times where I haven’t eaten all day the best step to do is to grab some fresh strawberries and simply chop a cup’s worth into bite sized pieces.

This will satisfy your hunger and stop the cravings.

Another tip is that it is always a good idea to drink water.

When we are dehydrated we can feel less hungry which can lead to under eating and binging later on.

Drinking throughout the day will help you maintain regular eating.

Aim for 4 – 8 glasses of water a day, increasing volume as the temperature rises (i,e, spring, summer) and as your level of activity increases.

You will be amazed as the cravings disappear.

Lastly have more self-awareness.

If you can be more in tune with yourself you may realize that a lot of your
eating isn’t hunger but emotional issues.

Stress and upset can make us want to grab a doughnut.

Excitement and happiness can also make us want to grab a doughnut. This is because society has placed food at the center of celebrations and upsets.

It is pretty much ingrained in all of us.

Make an effort to acknowledge it and you will have more success overcoming cravings for good.

Also, remember to check in on the new tips, techniques, systems, methods
and programs that will help you get the body you want and truly deserve.

Top 7 Foods for Better Sex

If you want to put some sizzle back into your sex life, food can help you set the mood and fuel your fire…

What female wouldn’t want to eat food or foods that are good for women’s health?

Fast food or health food?

Is there nothing better than a romantic candle lit, home-cooked dinner for your libido?

Healthy food with food recipes to indulge your R-rated senses helping you to turn-up the heat…

“There’s a growing body of evidence that some of the vitamins and components in foods can enhance sexual function and sexual experience,” says Jennifer R. Berman, MD, the director of the Berman Women’s Wellness Center, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Here are some of the aphrodisiac foods (and my own favorite food recipes) that have been major players for our “female libido“.

Arugula has been heralded as an arousal aid since the first century.

Today, research reveals the trace minerals and antioxidants packed into dark, leafy greens are essential for women libido

As well as health because they help block absorption of some of the environmental contaminants thought to negatively impact our libido.

The Aztecs referred to avocados as, ahem, testicles, because of their physical shape.

But the scientific reason why avocados make sense as an aphrodisiac is they’re rich in unsaturated fats and low in saturated fat, making them good for your heart and arteries.

Anything that keeps the heart beating strong helps keep blood flowing to all the right places.

Topping my list of feisty foods, almonds have long been linked to increased passion, act as a sexual stimulant, and aid with fertility.

Like asparagus (another one of my favorite sexy foods), almonds are nutrient-dense and rich in several trace minerals important for sexual health and reproduction.

Almonds contain zinc, selenium and vitamin E.

“Zinc helps enhance libido and sexual desire,” says Dr. Berman. “We don’t really understand the mechanisms behind it, but we know it works.”

Figs are funny-shaped fruits with a long history of being a fertility booster, and they make an excellent aphrodisiac because they’re packed with soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.

Why is this important for your heart health?

High-fiber foods help fill you up, not out, so it’s easier to get abs with sexy bottom line or flat belly.

Strawberries say it all with the color red which is known to help stoke the fire!

A 2008 study found that men find women sexier if they’re wearing red, as opposed to cool colors such as blue or green.

Strawberries are also an excellent source of folic acid, a B vitamin that helps ward off birth defects in women.

According to a University of California, Berkley study, may be tied to high sperm counts in men.

Why not eat some dark-chocolate-dipped strawberries?

While we’re on the subject, there’s a reason we give chocolate on Valentine’s Day because chocolate is full of libido boosting methylxanthines.

Seafood, despite their slippery texture, oysters may be one of the most well-known aphrodisiac.

Oysters are also one of the best sources of libido-boosting zinc.

But other types of seafood can also act as aphrodisiacs. Oily fish like wild salmon and herring contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for a healthy heart.

Citrus or any member of this tropical fruit family is super-rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and folic acid—all of which are essential.

Enjoy a romantic salad that mixes-it-up with citrus, like pink grapefruit or mandarin oranges, and why not use a dressing made with lemon and lime?

Hope you enjoy my top 7 foods for better sex…indulge but don’t be shy!
