Start your day with a digestion- and metabolism-boosting elixir. Cinnamon is optional, but it’s been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, blood lipid levels, inflammation, blood pressure, and body weight. The smell of cinnamon may also boost brain activity. Have this first thing in the morning, before breakfast, as a powerful start to your day.
Ginger is a well-known digestive aid, helping curb nausea and trapped gas. It also has very potent anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols, which may reduce pain and improve mobility for those with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
