5. Weight Loss
To boost your metabolism and shed a few more pounds, drink 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and one tablespoon of honey in a glass of warm water. The polyphenols in lemon will prevent weight gain and improve insulin sensitivity to help you burn fat (4). Additionally, the piperine in black pepper will prevent the formation of new fat cells (5).
