How these healthy ingredients effectively help you burn fat stored in the critical parts of the body?
Limes and lemons are a good addition to a balanced, calorie-controlled, low-fat diet. They contain nutrients that may help promote weight loss, and their juice and zest add flavor to food without added calories. They are high in Vitamin C, a great fat burner compound that burns fats effectively.
There is a lot of evidence suggesting the alkalizing and detoxifying nature of limes and lemons, as well as their great fat-burning power.
A study published in “Journal of the American College of Nutrition” reported that the more vitamin C you consume, the more likely you are to have a lower body mass than someone who isn’t getting enough of the nutrient. A person who has a diet high in vitamin C burns 30 percent more fat during exercise than a person with a low vitamin C intake.
A research conducted at the Arizona State University states that people who consumed antioxidant-rich foods ( such as Vitamin C) are less likely to gain weight and store fat.
The results of another study published in “Nutrition Reviews” say that regular consumption of limes and lemons will stave off hunger by keeping blood sugar level stable. Vitamin C also eliminates toxins accumulated within the fat cells, cleanses the body and offers it full detoxification.
Mint can also help in your efforts to lose weight in a healthy way! Mint stimulates the digestive enzymes that absorb nutrients from food and consume fat and turn it into usable energy. Therefore, by adding mint to your diet, you are increasing the amount of fat that is being consumed and put to use, rather than being stored and contributing to your weight gain!
Water constitutes 70% of our body. Most of our metabolic process takes place in the presence of water. So, when we are well hydrated the basal metabolic rate of our body goes up. This would mean that our body is able to digest the food we eat in a proper manner and the food is used to burn sufficient calories required by the body, so you end up with a nice flat belly.
It is important to make the drink the day before you consume it ( usually in the evening before you go to bed). This drink is consumed during the whole day, usually 30-40 mintues before a meal, or whenever you feel thirsty or hungry. Don’t forget to consume it early in the morning, the first thing after getting up from bed. Best results are achieved if you consume the drink every 2-3 hours.
Ingredients:
- 3 limes
- 2 lemons
- 20 mint leaves
- 2 liters water
Instructions:
Squeeze the lemons and chop the mint leaves. Let this mixture stay for 1 hour. In the meantime slice limes( don’t squeeze them) and add them in the water. Add lemon-mint mixture and stir everything well. It is best to put the drink in a glass container ( bottle or pitcher), avoid using plastic containers. You can store it in the fridge or keep it at room temperature. This drink is consumed the whole day. It is enough for about 8 glasses distributed throughout the day. Don’t take the whole drink in the first part of the day, make sure you have for evening too.
