They are not miracle drinks, but these drinks will certainly help you on your way to a leaner body if you provide healthy food and more exercise next door. Leave the lemonade, soda, energy drinks and alcohol in any case. You would also rather leave the light products. Try one of the drinks below and you will find that with regular use you lose weight easier and faster.
- Water
Water is the ideal drink that you cannot touch and can even fall off. You just get it from the tap in the world. The water here is clean and fresh. Water contains no calories. If you are hungry for food, a glass of water will fill you quickly to satisfy your hunger. Water stimulates the metabolism, so you burn fat faster. The more water you drink, the faster waste can be removed from the body.
- Lemon Water –
Start your day with lemon water. In addition to a slimming effect, this also offers a large number of benefits, because lemon water:
- improves digestion
- strengthens the immune system
- increases the energy level and gives the brain a boost
- moisturizes the body
- alkalizes the body
Keep it full for a few days in the morning to drink a glass of (lukewarm) water with lemon on an empty stomach. After a while you get so used to the positive effects that you probably wouldn’t want to be without it.
- White Tea –
White tea ensures that your body does not make fat cells. The body cannot store fat without fat cells. The antioxidants in white tea ensure that the fat cells that the body produces are broken down. White tea therefore prevents the production of new fat cells and breaks down the fat cells that are in the making. White tea contains catechins. These ensure that your heat production in the body increases. As soon as the heat production runs at full speed, you burn more calories in everything you do than you would without white tea.
- Green Tea –
Green tea offers good support for slimming. It contains the flavonoid EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a substance that, just like white tea, protects cells against damage caused by free radicals. This fabric also ensures increased heat production. Drink green tea and you will not feel like eating. The tea increases your metabolism and because drinking tea provides a moment of rest, you will also be able to reduce stress with it. Stress causes a higher amount of cortisol, a hormone that causes weight gain and stores fat (especially around the abdomen).
- Ginger Tea –
Ginger tea, made from fresh ginger, suppresses the feeling of hunger. You will feel less hungry after drinking this tea. It helps with weight loss because you eat less. Start with your first cup of ginger tea in the morning and then drink a cup every three hours. In this way you will feel saturated all day long and you will be less likely to grab snacks. Don’t you like the bitter taste of ginger? Then add some honey and lime.
- Nettle Tea –
Nettle tea contains vitamin C, provitamin A, flavonoids, folic acid, magnesium, iron and silica. These substances have a blood purifying and moisture-repellent effect. You lose mainly moisture and it is therefore an ideal tea if you retain a lot of moisture.
- Water or tea with mint –
Add fresh mint to your glass of cold or hot water. Mint gives it a refreshing taste. Mint is good for the stomach and digestion. It has a calming effect and less stress ensures less fat storage. The strong aroma of mint reduces your appetite for food.
- Vegetable Juice –
Vegetable juices give a full feeling and also keep you satisfied for longer, which means you will not grab food as quickly. If you also choose cruciferous ones (cauliflower, broccoli and other types of cabbage) then you will burn fat even better with the drink. This vegetable is rich in phytonutrients, plant substances that have a good influence on hormone balance and the sugar level balance.
- Coconut Water –
Fresh coconut water is a cooling and refreshing drink if you drink it chilled. It contains few calories, fills well and contains hardly any fat. Do not confuse pure coconut water with the packaged coconut water in the supermarket, it often contains sugar or other unnatural additives. The fibers in the coconut water give you a satisfied feeling and prevent blockage. Coconut water is rich in healthy nutrients, including potassium, magnesium and copper. Therefore, drink coconut water after exercise to replenish your body with moisture, salts and minerals. It is a better and healthier alternative to sports or energy drinks.
- Black Coffee –
Black coffee (without milk and sugar) contains only 1 calorie. However, it is rich in nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, vitamin B, and manganese. These ingredients have a beneficial effect on blood pressure. The caffeine wakes up and is alert. It gives you an energy booster so you can work harder and do more fun things. Movement ensures faster burning. Drink black coffee in moderation, however. According to the Nutrition Center, depending on how the coffee is made, 4 cups of normal filter coffee can be drunk daily, 2 cups of espresso or coffee from cups. Children under the age of 13 should not drink coffee and after that, up to the age of 18, 1 cup per day is fine.
