Adding cinnamon to your coffee each morning can help increase your metabolism, making it even easier for you to burn calories and rid excess fat. Not to mention that it helps add flavor to your coffee without adding in more calories, sugar or carbs.

Cinnamon is helpful in metabolism because of its anti-inflammatory benefits. Trista Best, a registered dietitian at Balance One Supplements, told SheFinds, “reducing inflammation in the body has an almost direct impact on preventing or reducing obesity and overall body weight. By cutting down on inflammation, your metabolism is better able to burn calories at an efficient rate.”

Studies have even found that cinnamon can help lower weight and get rid of belly fat, even when eaten alongside foods that are higher in fat. It also increases your fiber intake, which is another factor in weight loss.
