Weight Loss: Have these drinks to lose weight
People often overlook their sleep pattern when trying to lose weight, but it is an integral part of the weight loss process. Poor quality of sleep can lead to acute symptoms like irritation, emotional eating, insulin issues, and even weight gain. So, it is an absolute necessity to get some good slumber at night when you are trying to get into a good shape. It is equally important to take care of what you brew before going to bed because even the smallest act counts when you are on the most daunting task of weight loss. It is not advisable to have beverages like tea and coffee as it can interfere with your sleep patterns. But there are some drinks that actually help you to build muscles, improve your blood sugar level and burn fat when had before bedtime.
It is time to include these 5 beverages in your diet to drop your weight effectively:
1. Milk
A glass of milk before going to bed is good for a sound sleep, all thanks to the tryptophan and calcium present in it. Good sleep at night prevents you from overeating the next day. Other than that, milk is rich in casein protein, which slows down the digestion process and helps you to build some muscle while you are in deep sleep at night.
2. Grape juice
A small glass of grape juice before hitting the bed will not only improve your sleep quality but will also help you burn fat at night. As per a research published in Cell Reports, insulin secretion at night helps to regulate the body’s circadian rhythms. Grapes are also a good source of antioxidant, which changes white fat into brown fat.
3. Cinnamon tea
We all know that cinnamon is loaded with numerous health benefits. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatory in nature, this common Indian spice is excellent for losing weight. Having it in the form of tea during bedtime can boost your metabolism. This drink also works as a detox agent and can accelerate your weight loss process. You can add half-a-spoon of honey in it to make it taste better.
4. Chamomile tea
Brewing a warm cup of chamomile tea is actually sleep-inducing. The tea increases your body’s levels of glycine, which is a neurotransmitter that relaxes your nerves. Another positive thing chamomile does is it spikes your core body temperature, which in turn, cools down your system drastically and helps you to fall asleep easily. Just makes sure it is caffeine free.
5. Soaked fenugreek water
Regular intake of fenugreek water generates heat in the body and manages your weight. It also strengthens your digestive system which is essential for weight loss. But remember to drink it at least half-an-hour before crashing on the bed. Crush some fenugreek seeds and add it to a glass of water. Leave it for 5 minutes, then strain in a cup using a regular tea strainer and consume it.
