The benefits of cinnamon

• Cinnamon contains important essential oils and antioxidants that “boost” your metabolism once absorbed into the body, increasing your ability to burn calories and eliminate fat.
• It’s low in calories, but its components are an important source of energy for the body.
• Cinnamon is recommended as a supplement to lower blood sugar levels, because it converts glucose into fuel for your cells.
• It is cleansing, a diuretic, and anti-inflammatory, which together help cleanse your blood of fluids and toxins.

The benefits of laurel

While it’s not as popular as other plants and spices, some view this as their best friend when it comes to losing weight and improving digestion.

• It contains powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that help restore your digestive and intestinal function, facilitating the elimination of waste.
• Its diuretic properties will eliminate the lipids you retain in the body, a factor that is directly related to weight gain.
• Its carminative substances help eliminate gas in your intestines, helping you prevent indigestion, feelings of heaviness, and swelling.
• Among other things, sedative effects promote feelings of well being and stop the cravings that lead to overeating.
