In my last blog “Coffee Can Make You FAT, and NOT Because of Sweeteners!” I shared the various ways coffee may be preventing you from achieving your weight and health goals. As promised, here is the best morning drink to replace your morning coffee that will energize you and help you lose weight.
Lemon Water with Cayenne Pepper and Apple Cider Vinegar with the “Mother”
Ingredients:
1 C Warm Water (not hot)
Juice from ½ of Organic Lemon
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar with the “Mother” Root
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Squeeze ½ fresh lemon in 1 C warm water with the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
How This Morning Drink Helps with Weight Loss.
Apple Cider Vinegar Aids in Digestion
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) has lots of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. It has to be raw, unfiltered and with the “Mother”. You will see a cloudy blob substance in the bottle. That’s the “Mother” which is healthy probiotics. We need probiotics to effectively digest food. Therefore, ACV is great for digestion so kick the commercial antacids to the curb. I recommend Bragg ACV because it does contain the “Mother”.
Cuts Blood Sugar and Insulin
ACV weight loss boost is partly due to the fact that it cuts blood sugar and insulin.
Boosts Metabolism
On top of that, a study showed that ACV boosts the levels of an enzyme that increases how fast fat is burned in the body. It also cuts the amount of fat and sugar that the liver makes. Therefore, is leads to improved metabolic function.
Blasts Belly Fat
One of the most exciting things about ACV is that is has been shown to cut fat storage around the belly and the risk of obesity.
Blocks Starch
One of the most important things that ACV does is block the body’s ability to digest starch. If you’re interfering with the digestion of starch, less is being broken down into calories in the bloodstream.
Lemon Juice
Another acid and works very similar to ACV. You can drink either one or mix both together. I mix them both together for both taste and effectiveness.
Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is a natural herb that may help you lose weight. The main active ingredient in cayenne pepper is capsaicin. Capsaicin is also found in other types of peppers. Researchers believe that capsaicin is a thermogenic chemical. A thermogenic chemical may help speed up your metabolism, decrease your appetite and help you burn calories.
Also, it improves digestion, reduces bloating, increases blood circulation. It breaks up toxins in blocked and clogged arteries, making it great for heart health.
Replacing your morning coffee with Lemon Water with Cayenne Pepper and Apple Cider Vinegar with the “Mother” is one of the easiest changes you can make with long term health benefits. This is not a quick fix. Think of it as a marathon, rather than a sprint. You still need to eat sensibly and exercise. This should be a permanent lifestyle change for permanent weight control.
