Mix these three ingredients and watch your love handles disappear

Chia seeds are nothing short of a nutritional powerhouse. They curb appetite, provide numerous essential nutrients, and... accelerate fat loss. Their health benefits have been celebrated for years, but they've gained immense popularity over the past decade.

Consuming chia seeds regularly blesses your body with abundant fibre, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids, bolstering the immune, nervous, and digestive systems. Yet, the benefits are amplified when paired with cinnamon, another health-boosting component. Cinnamon is not just an aromatic spice but also a potent dietary supplement.

Cinnamon boasts many health advantages, including purifying, detoxifying, and antibacterial properties. Interestingly, even a small addition of cinnamon to your meals can make you feel satiated longer and facilitate faster carbohydrate breakdown. When combined with chia seeds, it turns into a natural fat-burning duo.

Chia seed drink recipe

Ingredients:

  • A tablespoon of chia seeds,
  • A teaspoon of cinnamon,
  • Optionally: a slice of lemon.

Preparation:

  1. Boil water and pour it into a mug. Allow it to cool until lukewarm.
  2. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds and wait 15 minutes for them to swell.
  3. Just before drinking, stir in the cinnamon and add a slice of lemon. Consider a teaspoon of honey for sweetness, increasing the calorie count.
  4. Consume on an empty stomach immediately after waking up.

Tips:

  1. Although the drink can be prepared the night before, drinking lukewarm water in the morning offers additional health benefits.
  2. It’s crucial to remember that the foundation of weight loss is physical activity and a balanced diet. Supplements alone won’t yield results without these.
