(Diet) “If you put ‘this’ in your coffee and drink it, you’ll lose weight quickly”… What is the diet method that has become a hit on TikTok?

A video on TikTok that claims adding cinnamon powder to your morning coffee is good for dieting is trending.

 

According to the British media Daily Express on the 5th (local time), a video titled 'Weight Loss Coffee Recipe' was posted on the TikTok channel Motivapihub.

 

In the video, the TikToker says, “If you add cinnamon and cocoa powder to your coffee in the morning, it’s good for weight loss.”

 

“Cinnamon powder prevents blood sugar spikes and helps burn fat,” the TikToker continued. “Cocoa adds a bit of sweetness to enhance the flavor,” the TikToker added. “Adding cinnamon powder to herbal tea, green tea, or black tea, not just coffee, is also helpful for dieting.” The video has been viewed about 650,000 times, and the number of people following the method in the video is increasing. Does cinnamon powder really help with dieting, as the TikToker claims?

Cinnamon may help lower metabolic syndrome levels by improving insulin resistance.

 

 

A research team at the University of Delhi in India conducted a study on 116 adults with metabolic syndrome to find out the effects of cinnamon. The research team divided the participants into two groups, one group taking capsules containing cinnamon extract and the other group taking placebo capsules containing wheat flour for 16 weeks. The participants' weight, blood pressure, etc. were evaluated every month. As a result, the group that took capsules containing cinnamon extract showed a significant decrease in 10 factors that adversely affect metabolic syndrome: ▲body weight ▲waist circumference ▲waist-to-hip ratio ▲body fat ratio ▲total cholesterol level ▲blood triglycerides ▲LDL cholesterol ▲LDL/HDL ratio ▲systolic blood pressure ▲diastolic blood pressure compared to the group that took capsules containing wheat flour.

 

In addition to weight loss, cinnamon improves blood circulation and generates heat to keep the body warm. .

Therefore, it is helpful for people who feel cold in their hands, feet, and lower abdomen even when it is slightly cold. .

 

Although it is known to be a food that is mainly effective for women, it is also recommended for men's health.

 

Cinnamon stimulates male adrenal function, instilling sexual energy. It also promotes collagen production. Cinnamon is effective in controlling redness and soothing pimples. Cinnamon from Sri Lanka, in particular, is known for its ability to suppress acne-causing bacteria.

 

but Because cinnamon warms the body, excessive consumption can cause dizziness or increased heart rate. Therefore, people with a high body temperature or allergic reactions should be cautious when consuming cinnamon.

 

Allergic reactions can cause side effects such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and a runny nose. Pregnant women should avoid cinnamon as it can be harmful to the fetus. This is because cinnamon is highly potent and has the effect of contracting the uterus. Furthermore, cinnamon contains coumarin, which can cause liver toxicity.

 

Meanwhile, drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is not good. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal problems such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and irritable bowel disease.

People with digestive or stomach problems should especially avoid morning coffee. If you must drink coffee in the morning, it's best to drink it after breakfast rather than on an empty stomach. This protects the digestive system and reduces the side effects of excessive stimulation.

 

The best times to drink coffee are 1-2 hours after waking up and between 1:30 and 5 p.m.
