ingredient you'll want to add to
your next
coffee Most of us can't function before our morning coffee. And fortunately for java junkies, drinking
coffee has tons of amazing health benefits, such as improving
your memory and helping you live longer. (As a matter of fact, this is how
your coffee addiction may be hurting
your health.) But before you fill
your mug with
your second (or third!) helping of the day, you
should be warned: All that cream and sugar could pose a problem for
your waistline. Some of the most popular drinks at chain
coffee shops could add over 1,000 calories to
your daily diet. This doesn't mean you
should banish
your cup of Joe forever; you can always drink
your coffee black, of course. But if you don't want to settle for a boring, bitter brew, research shows that one simple
ingredient can
boost your metabolism and stave off any dreaded weight gain. Adding this will change
your coffee game Adding a dash of cinnamon to
your coffee can help
your body burn fat faster, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute. When the researchers treated human fat cell samples with cinnamaldehyde - the compound that gives cinnamon its flavour and smell - the cells began creating more metabolism-boosting genes and enzymes, which caused them to burn instead of store extra fat. Check out even more ways to make
your coffee habit healthier. While only time (and more research) will tell exactly how much weight you could lose thanks to a dose of cinnamon in
your coffee, sprinkling on a little extra spice can't hurt in the meantime. But to avoid damaging
your diet, we recommend opting for a dash of cinnamon in
your everyday cuppa instead of a sugar-loaded gingerbread latte. Craving a caffeinated and tasty treat--without the extra calories? Have this delicious
coffee smoothie for breakfast. Originally published as The One
