Honey & Cinnamon

 

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around.

  

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and
cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries
of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very
effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without
any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right
dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World
News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of
jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University , it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon
lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears
stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if
honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three time s a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America , first thing in the morning, gargle with one
teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

Lose those love handles!

Regardless of what we call them, love handles are not lovable and cuddly. 

 

·         Love handles indicate stubborn fat around the midriff which is not only annoying and unsightly, but dangerous to our health as well.

·         There are only two ways to rid yourself of love handle fat – correct eating and correct exercise.

·         It’s a good idea to start with an eating plan. 

·         Even though you might not have a lot of fat on your body, it is vitally important for your health to deal with the problem that you have on each side of your waist. 

·         A sensible diet could be the most vital part of getting you to where you would like to go with your whole abdominal area.

CURB YOUR CRAVING!!

Permanently change the way that you respond to your cravings. 

The following may help you manage your cravings:

 

Have breakfast

The first meal of the day really is important, have a Herbalife Shake blended up with some pineapple and cinnamon or some frozen berries - it's delicious. Please ONLY use Soy or Rice milk.

 

Drink more fluid 

Often, you may think that you are hungry for food when in actual fact you may be thirsty. 

 

‘Distraction therapy’

Try to focus on something other than food. For example, you could try to read a book, take a bath or call a friend instead of reaching for unhealthy snacks.

 

Rate your hunger

Before you eat, ask yourself how hungry you really are. Could you manage without that packet of chips? It can take a while between starting to eat and feeling full, so try to eat more slowly.

 

Reducing temptation

Avoid buying some of the unhealthy foods that you find you cannot resist eating. It may be hard to do initially but don’t forget that you are in control of your eating.

 

Consider filling in a food diary for a couple of days

This will help you to identify your daily patterns of eating. Make a note of the food you eat and score your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10 at set times throughout the day. Try noting how you feel before and after eating food. This should help you to identify your reasons for eating, e.g. boredom. Your food diary should help to identify your triggers for eating and therefore help you to find a solution.

 

Make sure you ‘fuel up’ frequently

Eating little and often is really important as it gives us a constant supply of energy throughout the day. Have your snacks at 10 am and 3 pm. Include a protein and a carbohydrate. eg. almonds and an apple or boiled egg and tomato.

Maximise your metabolism

Did you know that the food, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make every day have a significant impact on your metabolism?

·         For example, if you starve yourself (instead of following a sensible fat-loss eating plan) your metabolism will slow down. 

·         If your metabolism slows down, it means your calories out will be less. 

·         That means no more fat loss, and possibly even fat gain.

Here are the top 10 ways to maximize your metabolism,

1. Don’t starve yourself. Cutting calories too much is one of the worst things you can do to your body.  Starving yourself actually causes you to lose much more water weight and muscle than fat.

2. Eat 5-6 small meals per day with an emphasis on lean protein, fruits and vegetables.  You have to have a nutrition plan, so spend time preparing
food for the upcoming week.

3. Eat breakfast.  At the very least, eat a lean protein, drink some Green Tea, and consume a fiber-rich fruit to get your fat loss day started right. Try Herbalife Nutritional Shake for a convenient breakfast on the go. 

4. Eat healthy fats.  Sources of healthy fats include nuts, fish, olive oil and flax oil.  Replace all processed carbohydrates in your diet with almonds. So instead of snacking on crisps, eat almonds.

5. Eat high quality foods that will help you control your blood sugar levels, insulin levels and energy levels.  Insulin management will help you lose
fat and prevent you from gaining fat.

6. Eat 1.14g of protein per 450g of lean body mass.  If you don’t know your lean body mass, then simply eat 1g of protein per 450g of body weight.

7. Limit your alcohol intake.  Alcohol intake can quickly add hundreds of calories and alcohol prevents fat burning.

8. Drink Green Tea and water.  Both of these help prevent decreases in metabolism.  Not to mention they are your 2 healthiest beverage options. A little coffee is fine, and other teas are also healthy. Try Herbalife Thermojetics Green Tea Beverage – you will shrink as you drink! 

9. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule. Don’t stay up all night.  If you work shift work, stick to the rest of these principles as strongly as possible.

10. Exercise. Cardiovascular and strength training with moderately heavy weights will work wonders for you.

How To Detox Your Body

Do you suffer from dull skin or acne?

Have you tried to lose weight but not found success? Are you continually irritable and fatigued all the time?

If this sounds like you then it may be time to detoxify yourbody.

Over the years our body absorbs toxins, heavy metals and fats from the foods that we eat.

Processed, greasy foods and fish are filled with these items.

In order to reverse the side effects, it's necessary to detoxify your body.
There are many pills and supplements on the market today for this purpose.

Another option is to visit a doctor that specializes in colonic procedures.
 

The easiest way to detoxify your body is by sticking to a healthy diet and changing your eating habits.

The first step in detoxifying your body is to remove the old habits of eating foods that are processed or fatty and drinking sugar and caffeine filled beverages.

There are many easy fixes to help your body crave good food instead of bad food. Utilize herbal teas and coffees in place of sodas and regular coffee. Our Herbalife Thermojetics herbal tea is perfect.

Herbal products are specially designed to help your body restore its natural energy source.

After a week of drinking herbal teas, you'll discover your ability to remain energized without caffeine throughout the day has greatly improved.

It is important in any detox program to drink ample amounts of water.  

Water helps flush your system of the waste that is built up.  

It is recommended that a person drink half their body weight in ounces of water each day.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds then you should drink 75 ounces of water each day. Avoid flavored waters for they are loaded with sugars and artificial flavorings.

For a sweet tooth fix try fruit. Fruits are naturally filled with good sugars.

These good sugars help curb sweet tooth cravings as well as prevent your body from experiencing extreme sugar highs and lows. 

Fruit is the first essential part of detoxifying your body.

Fruit has a high water content which is beneficial in extracting waste from your tissues.

Cranberries, strawberries and blueberries all contain antioxidants which help fight off free radical damage. Bananas and cantaloupe contain many of the essential vitamins we need each day.

Unsalted nuts and seeds are also beneficial while detoxifying your body. Almonds and walnuts offer a natural energy supply for an easy afternoon pick me up snack.

The second essential part of detoxifying your body is to avoid mixing proteins and carbohydrates.  

Replace your regular baked potato with brown rice or pinto beans when you're eating steak.

Enjoy a salad with dark leafy greens while eating grilled chicken.  

While detoxifying your body you should also avoid milk products, gluten products and alcohol.

All of these contain proteins that wreak havoc on your digestive system.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this article and learned a little something along the way.

I personally enjoy a detox every now and again and I encourage you to consider it as well.
