With the approaching beach season, the question of a slim figure and getting rid of excess weight becomes more relevant than ever. A huge number of people are trying to go on a diet, enroll in a gym and finally get rid of extra pounds. At the same time, there are those who do not burden themselves with physical exertion and rack their brains over the eternal question: what to eat so that all that is superfluous goes away by itself.
It turns out that not only the issue of nutrition is important, but also the question of fluid intake. The more fluid enters the body, the cleaner the body becomes, because when the fluid leaves the body, it takes with it toxins, fats and toxins. It has been proven that there are drinks that contribute to the process of losing weight. There are a lot of them, so each person, based on their own preferences, will be able to choose their own drink for weight loss.
First of all, we mention some drinks that not only do not contribute to weight loss and improve the health of the body, but act with the exact opposite effect. We are talking about carbonated drinks, energy drinks, alcohol, chlorinated water and beer. The former contain a lot of carbohydrates and sugar, which dehydrates the brain, liver and other important organs. Power engineers contain many calories and nutritional supplements. Alcohol promotes weight gain, and with increasing degree of the drink, the risk increases. As for beer, this is perhaps the most undesirable drink for losing weight, as it has a high glycemic index, due to which most of the calories are converted almost instantly to body fat. Chlorinated water (and this is ordinary tap water), along with harmful bacteria, kills living ones, which does not have the most pleasant effect on the health of the body.
Avoid these drinks, and the first step towards improving the body will be taken.
Now let's talk directly about those drinks that are able to destroy body fat, so upset their owners.
The most affordable slimming drink for mankind - This is water. There are no fats and calories in the water, so drinking water can reduce appetite (we often take thirst for hunger, so we can pounce on food, although we really want to not eat, but drink). It is recommended to drink half a glass of water before each meal in about half an hour, and at least a liter a day. One caveat: the water should be clean (spring, filtered).
The next drink, very popular among those who are losing weight, is green tea. It helps to eliminate toxins from the body, and also normalizes metabolism. Good bowel function is a direct way to get rid of extra pounds. One caveat: green tea should be drunk without sugar (it can be replaced with a spoon of honey).
Another zero-calorie product is peppermint tea. Besides the fact that it speeds up the process of digesting food, peppermint tea is able to eliminate headaches and relieve a person of stress. And, as you know, most of us tend to “seize” stress, turning our troubles and sorrows into fat deposits on the hips, buttocks and stomach.
Perhaps the most popular slimming drink is ginger tea. Ginger accelerates metabolic processes, helps strengthen the immune system, cleanses and tones the human body. The gingerol and shogaol contained in it give the ginger a specific burning taste, and in addition, increase blood circulation and warm from the inside.
Preparing a ginger slimming drink as follows. Chopped ginger root (one teaspoon) pour boiling water (one cup), sweeten with honey (one teaspoon) and add a slice of lemon. Combining a sharp, sweet and acidic component, this drink will be especially useful for those whose body accumulates fat deposits very quickly.
A drink from ginger for weight loss can be somewhat strengthened (made more effective) by preparing it according to the following recipe. Peel the ginger root (approximately 4 cm) and cut into small slices. Peel two cloves of garlic, together with chopped ginger, put in a two-liter thermos and pour boiling water. Close the thermos and leave the drink to brew. Then get the garlic and ginger, the drink is ready. You can take it daily throughout the day.
Another well-known drink for weight loss is juice, vegetable or fruit. Everyone knows that drinking natural juice is very useful, because this drink contains a lot of vitamins. As for fat-burning juices, this is, first of all, cranberry, apple, orange, grapefruit and tangerine. Tomato juice is low-calorie, it quickly causes a feeling of fullness and dulls hunger, but only tomato juice without salt is useful for weight loss.
Those who want to get rid of body fat should pay attention to a drink made of cinnamon and honey. It is able to destroy bacteria and parasites that slow down the digestion process. For this reason, it is one of the most popular drinks for weight loss in the abdomen.
Preparing a drink of cinnamon and honey as follows: ½ teaspoon of cinnamon pour a glass of boiling water and insist. Add a teaspoon of honey to the cooled drink and let stand for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Take in the morning, before breakfast, and in the evening, before going to bed. One caveat: honey must be raw, you need to add it to cold water, as in the hot nutrients will disappear.
Another healthy drink is kefir. It improves the work of the gastrointestinal tract, and this, as you know, is the key to a healthy body, and hence a slim figure.
Among the popular is another drink for weight loss - hydromel. It removes toxins from the body, has a general strengthening effect. Preparing a hydromel like this: add honey (a teaspoon) and lemon juice (two tablespoons) to a glass of warm water (the water temperature should not exceed a mark of forty degrees). Take three times a day before meals.
Other healthy, weight-loss drinks include milk, oatmeal jelly, herbal tea, and even dry red wine.
Milk dulls hunger, the calcium contained in it is important for the production of a hormone that promotes the process of losing weight. Dry red wine breaks down fats and burns calories. Daily allowance - one glass.
Another important question remains: when is it better to drink drinks for weight loss? At night, the body loses a lot of moisture, so it’s good to drink a hydromel one hour before breakfast. Between breakfast and lunch, green tea will benefit. During an afternoon snack, it is ideal to drink juice, vegetable or fruit. After dinner, you can again drink green tea, and before going to bed a glass of yogurt will be useful. But each of us can choose their own scheme for drinking weight loss drinks. One caveat: only coupled with rational nutrition and active physical activity, you can get the desired result and save it for many years.
