This is an extremely lazy way to lose weight. It burns hundreds of calories even if you are just sitting down on your computer and doing nothing. It also increases your metabolism which aids in weight loss.
Ingredients:
2 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Water
Directions:
1) Use 1 part of cinnamon to 2 parts of raw honey. 1 tsp cinnamon to 2 tsp honey is recommended.
2) Boil 1 cup of water.
3) Pour the boiling water on cinnamon. Cover it and let it steep until it is warm enough to drink.
4) Add honey when the water is cool/warm. Never add honey when it is hot as the heat will destroy the enzymes and other nutrients in the raw honey.
5) Drink half before going to bed. The other half should be covered and refrigerated, drink it the following morning. Do not re-heat.
Do not add any flavors in this mixture as this recipe only works if you drink it on empty stomach

Here are the top 10 ways to control uric acid levels.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Being a natural cleanser and detoxifier, apple cider vinegar can help remove wastes like uric acid from the body. It contains malic acid that helps break down and eliminate uric acid. Apple cider vinegar also helps restore the alkaline acid balance in the body and provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Add one teaspoon of raw, organic, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar to a glass of water.
Drink this solution two or three times a day.
You can gradually increase the amount of apple cider vinegar up to two tablespoons per glass of water and continue this remedy until your uric acid levels come down.
Note: Do not take apple cider vinegar in excess as it may decrease potassium levels in the body. Also, it may interfere with diuretic drugs.
2. Lemon Juice
Though it may seem that lemon juice will make the body more acidic, in actuality, it produces an alkaline effect and helps neutralize uric acid. Plus, its vitamin C content also helps lower uric acid levels.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a glass of warm water. Drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. Continue for at least a few weeks.
You can also take vitamin C supplements. For proper dosage and suitability, consult your doctor.
3. Cherries
Cherries and dark berries contain chemicals that help reduce uric acid levels. Plus, purple and blue-colored berries contain flavonoids called anthocyanins that help lower uric acid and reduce inflammation and stiffness.
Eat one-half cup of cherries daily for a few weeks. You can also drink one or two cups of tart cherry juice for about four weeks.
Also, add blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, and other vitamin C and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables to your diet.
4. Baking Soda
Baking soda, also called bicarbonate of soda, is highly beneficial for lowering uric acid levels and reducing gout pain. It helps maintain the natural alkaline balance in the body and makes the uric acid more soluble and easier to flush out of the kidneys.
Mix one-half teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water.
Drink up to four glasses of this daily for two weeks. You can drink it every two to four hours.
Note: Do not take this remedy on a regular basis. Also, do not follow this remedy if you suffer from high blood pressure. People age 60 or older should not drink more than three glasses of this baking soda solution daily.
5. Olive Oil
Most vegetable oils turn into rancid fats when heated or processed. The rancid fats destroy the vital vitamin E in the body, which is essential for controlling uric acid levels.
Opt for cold-pressed olive oil rather than using vegetable oil, butter or shortening in your cooking and baking. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats that remain stable when heated. Plus, it is high in vitamin E and antioxidants, and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
6. Water
Drinking plenty of water helps optimize uric acid filtering. It helps dilute the uric acid and stimulates the kidneys to eliminate excess amounts from the body through urine.
Plus, drinking adequate water regularly can reduce the risk of recurrent gout attacks. In an internet-based study presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology, researchers found that participants who drank five to eight glasses of water in the 24-hour period prior to a possible gout attack had a 40 percent decreased risk of an attack compared with those who drank only one glass of water or less.
Drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water throughout the day.
Also, include more fluids and fresh, water-rich fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Men who adopt five healthy lifestyle habits could reduce their risk of heart attack by 80%, a new study suggests.
Researchers in Sweden looked at the benefits of a low risk diet and healthy lifestyle practices in more than 20,000 men aged 45 to 79 years.
A combination of a healthy diet, moderate alcohol consumption, no smoking, physical activity and exercise, and not being overweight, all helped lower the odds of an early grave, the study found.
The men had no history of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol.
Over an 11-year period, 1,361 heart attacks were recorded among participants. Of the 1,724 men who ascribed to none of the healthy practices, 166 suffered heart attacks. Yet only 3 heart attacks were recorded among men who practiced all five.
The incident rate decreased the more that men adopted the healthy habits, including among those with high blood pressure and cholesterol. Only 1% of participants adhered to all five rules.
"Almost 4 out of 5 heart attacks in men may be preventable with a combined low-risk behaviour," concluded the study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
"There is a lot to gain and money to be saved if people had a healthier lifestyle," said study lead author Agneta Akesson, from the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institute.
Among Prof. Akesson's suggestions, men should eat better, lose weight, cycle or walk for 40 minutes a day, quit smoking and limit alcohol to one drink a day.
