How to prepare my apple peel cure to lose weight?
Ingredients recipe 1
- The peel of 3 apples
- 1 cinnamon stick (3 g)
- 1 liter of water
- The juice of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons of honey (50 g)
Preparation
For our remedy we need 3 apples, of the variety you want, but it is important that they are organically grown. Wash them well and then peel them. We only want the peel of the apples.
Now we put our liter of water on the heat, and once it comes to a boil, we add the apple peels.
Also add that cinnamon stick. Allow everything to infuse for 30 or 35 minutes.
After that time, turn off the heat and allow it to rest.
Once our apple peel infusion has cooled, strain all the contents and add the two tablespoons of honey and the juice of half a lemon.
We will take this water to a glass bottle, reserving it in a cool place. We will drink it at room temperature throughout the day, starting with a first glass on an empty stomach.
Ingredients recipe 2
- The peels of 3 apples
- 1 teaspoon sage (5 g)
- 1 liter of water
- The juice of half an orange
- 2 tablespoons of honey (50 g)
Preparation
We will start, as always, by washing and peeling the apples. Once you have brought the water to a boil, you will only have to add the teaspoon of sage and the apple peels.
Allow an adequate decoction of all the ingredients to be made for just over half an hour. When you see that the smell of apple is already perceived with the steam, you can turn off the heat.
Let the water sit for 15 minutes and, once our apple peel and sage infusion is warm, strain it and add the juice of half an orange and honey. Stir well and pour it into a glass bottle.
Of the two treatments indicated here, you can take the one you like the most. Carry out this cure over 10 days, following a low-fat diet and drinking that first glass on an empty stomach, and the following before your meals.
Your digestion will notice it, you will look less bloated every day and you will promote gradual weight loss. It is worth putting into practice.
