These drinks really kickstart losing weight due to their digestive effect, and the active ingredients they contain even speed up the breakdown of fat deposited in the body.
Drinks that improve digestion and support fat burning can be the perfect complement to a healthy, balanced diet. Of course, this does not mean that they will melt fat like a miracle drug, but with regular exercise, they really help the process thanks to the active ingredients they contain.
A diet rich in fiber is very important for both weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, since in addition to balancing the intestinal flora, it facilitates digestion and slows down the absorption of nutrients, thus prolonging the feeling of satiety. These valuable fibers can easily be taken even in the form of a drink.
The list below contains drinks that everyone can easily prepare at home, can be included in the daily diet before any meal of the day, and are also super healthy.
Red cabbage smoothie
Red cabbage contains more than four times as many antioxidants as other types of cabbage, supports stomach health due to its anti-inflammatory effect, and the fibers in it help digestion and maintain a sense of fullness for a long time.
Thanks to its vitamin B, calcium and vitamin C content, red cabbage speeds up the metabolism, which has been proven to speed up fat oxidation during exercise, and the sulforaphane content of red cabbage promotes detoxification processes. In a matter of seconds, you can make a tasty smoothie, which, in addition to red cabbage, consists of apples, tomatoes, ginger and lemon.
Pear smoothie
Pears are a real source of anthocyanins, which reduce harmful blood fat levels. They are rich in both soluble and insoluble fibers: by eating just one pear you can cover 22% of the daily fiber requirement.
Pears are also an excellent source of copper and potassium, which are involved in important metabolic processes, and nourish the nervous system and the muscles. For extra nutrients, apples, almond milk, lemon and chia seeds can also be added to the smoothie made from pears.
Radish smoothie
Radish is considered a natural diuretic, its high vitamin C content boosts fat oxidation during exercise, the raffanol it contains has a liver protective effect, and its mustard oil glycoside content stimulates the breakdown of fats. Rich in fiber and vitamin C, the taste of the smoothie is balanced by the stomach-protecting ginger and lemon.
Ginger-lemon drink
Garlic, also known as a natural antibiotic, can be added to ginger-lemon drink, along with apple cider vinegar and honey to taste. This homemade soft drink is full of fiber that helps digestion and vitamin C, which supports metabolism and accelerates fat oxidation.
The slightly spicy taste of ginger is due to its gingerol, saogaol and zingerone content, which effectively stimulate digestion and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Garlic reduces LDL-cholesterol levels, and apple cider vinegar has a good effect on digestion and suppresses appetite.
Golden milk
The main ingredient of golden milk is turmeric. The influence of curcumin contained in turmeric on fat metabolism has been examined in several studies, and it has been noticed that it reduces the growth of fat tissue and increases insulin sensitivity.
In addition to all this, it balances blood sugar levels, reduces body weight, speeds up metabolism and has an outstanding fiber content that stimulates digestion. This special golden milk is made from turmeric, which, in addition to the milk or herbal drink, also contains ginger, cinnamon, and pepper.
It is important that before anyone starts consuming the aforementioned drinks as a cure, especially with a diagnosed illness, they should definitely consult their doctor first. Certain active ingredients can affect blood sugar levels and the effectiveness of medications, so it is strongly recommended to seek the opinion of an expert beforehand.
