I have consistently read in the literature about cinnamon and cayenne pepper’s effects on metabolism. So, here is more information about these two super foods:

CINNAMON 

• Improves insulin resistance and stabilizes blood sugar levels, contributing to weight loss
• More efficient at managing hunger and appetite
• Decreases free fatty acids and levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL, “bad cholesterol”)
• Try substituting cinnamon for sugar or mixing cinnamon with peanut instead of jelly – Simply delicious, simply healthy!

CAYENNE PEPPER (Active Ingredient: Capsicum)

• Increases blood flow and perspiration (sweating), contributing to weight loss
• 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper sauce can increase metabolic rate by as much as 25%
• Always consume cayenne pepper with food to avoid irritation of stomach lining

Eat Well!  Be Healthy!  Be YOU!
