Metabolism Boost Daily Drink

Here are the 5 must-have ingredients in this metabolism booster:

LEMON JUICE

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is rich in Vitamin C, aids digestion, and is packed with antioxidants.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

A favorite ingredient to include in a healthy diet because it’s good for skin, gut health, and helps manage my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It’s even been associated with lower insulin resistance and can act as a fat burning appetite suppressant that may aid in weight management.

Make sure it’s raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar.

GINGER

Fresh ginger root is pungent, spicy, and has been valued for its health benefits, including inflammation reduction, pain relief, improved regulation of blood sugar (high blood sugar levels is what causes the body to store fat!), lowered cholesterol levels, antibacterial properties, and aid with the effects of nausea.

It’s important to use a fresh knob of ginger.

CINNAMON

You may not think cinnamon has any health benefits because it’s often the star in baked goods but cinnamon has tons of anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory effects, and is being studied for its ability to control blood glucose levels. Cinnamon is not an ingredient you should skimp on!

CAYENNE PEPPER

Add a zing with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes. Chili peppers add an addictive kick to your metabolism booster!
