Honey and Cinnamon Tea
Supports Weight Loss

Do you have weight loss as one of your New Year’s resolutions? How are you doing so far? I’d like to lose another 20 lbs. myself, but my focus for 2014 really is on supporting my body on its journey toward more wellness. So, when I was researching a few things Dr. Carolyn Dean talked about on her Monday night call, I found several articles about the effectiveness of honey and cinnamon tea for weight loss. Who knew?

I found this article to be a great general resource on the why-to’s and how-to’s of making honey and cinnamon tea: http://www.stepintomygreenworld.com/healthyliving/honey-and-cinnamon-weight-loss-recipe/. Here’s some great quotes  from the article. We recommend you read the article in its entirety.

Many of you may not think of eating honey for weight loss, but honey is a useful food to help you lose weight. Since it is a simple sugar, NOT a refined and processed sugar, it contains vitamins, minerals, nutrients and is good for you.
Honey helps boost and speed up the metabolism which helps the body burn fat
Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar levels and increases the metabolism of glucose

Remember, cinnamon is warming in the Chinese Medicine system, whether you eat the cinnamon or use cinnamon in your skin care products. For example, our Warm Spice Honey Body Glow and Souffle set contains cinnamon essential oil and tends to warm your skin.  I love that warm and spicy feeling in the winter myself, and I am sure you  will, too, now that you know the honey cinnamon combination may help you loose weight!
