Lukewarm water: promotes hydration and stimulates the metabolism from the early hours of the morning. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (Boschmann et al., 2003) showed that drinking about 500 ml of water can temporarily increase your metabolic rate by up to 30%, thus helping the body burn more calories.
Raw apple cider vinegar: Contains acetic acid, known for its ability to reduce blood sugar levels and increase the sense of satiety. In a study conducted in Japan by Kondo (2009), participants who took apple cider vinegar daily showed a moderate but significant reduction in body fat and weight.
Ginger: has thermogenic properties, i.e. it stimulates the production of heat in the body, favoring the burning of fats. It also helps digestion and can reduce nervous hunger. Research published in the journal Metabolism (Mansour, 2012) found that the consumption of ginger increases the feeling of satiety and energy expenditure at rest.
Lemon juice: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, it strengthens the immune system and facilitates digestion. Some studies suggest that vitamin C may contribute to the mobilization of fat during physical activity, while the acidity of lemon may help regulate post-prandial glycemic peaks.
