Caffeine in coffee and green tea not only helps to keep the spirit excited and alert, but is also a catalyst for fat breakdown, which can speed up the burning of belly fat.
1. Water
This is a basic drink to maintain stable health while contributing to effective weight control. Nutritionist Elizabeth Katzman commented: "Water is the foundation for weight control. This zero-calorie drink boosts metabolism while creating a feeling of fullness, helping to naturally reduce the amount of calories consumed during meals. Drinking a glass before eating can cut 75-90 calories per meal without any extra effort."
2. Green tea
Experts say that EGCG is abundant in green tea along with caffeine content to increase fat burning, especially during physical activity. "Research shows that drinking 2-3 cups a day can help burn an additional 70-100 calories," said expert Katzman. However, she warns people who are sensitive to caffeine not to drink too much green tea, and to avoid drinking it in the evening because it can affect sleep.
EGCG also has the effect of preventing the destruction of collagen and elastin, improving blood circulation under the skin, reducing oxidation, and significantly slowing down the signs of skin aging.
3. Protein shake
"Protein shakes help fill you up significantly by activating satiety hormones while inhibiting hunger signals," nutritionist Katzman said about the benefits of protein drinks. She also said that increasing protein in the diet forces the body to burn more calories as well as promoting metabolism, thereby achieving fat loss and weight loss.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar
"Apple cider vinegar diluted in water helps with weight management through its acetic acid content. Studies show that this drink can help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce insulin spikes, and prevent fat storage when consumed before meals. Start adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to your glass of water every day to boost digestive health and improve weight loss," the expert recommends.
The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps suppress appetite, boost metabolism, and reduce water retention. The pectin content in apple cider vinegar also limits the body's ability to absorb fat.
5. Black Coffee
"Black coffee suppresses appetite and increases metabolic rate by 3 to 11% through its caffeine content. This drink stimulates thermogenesis and optimizes fat oxidation, especially when you drink it before exercising," the expert said.
6. Green smoothies
Drinks made from green vegetables such as kale, spinach, celery... contain high fiber content, good for digestion, stabilize blood sugar while providing many vitamins and antioxidants that are beneficial for health. Experts suggest keeping the ratio of vegetables higher than fruits to optimize nutrition and limit sugar intake.
