Introduction: Everyone knows drinking water is good, but don't think that simply guzzling water every day will magically make your excess fat disappear. When should you drink water throughout the day? What kind of water should you drink? What are the effects of different types of water? There's a lot to consider. Take a look at the following water-drinking schedule for a clear overview!
Upon waking up in the morning: lightly salted water
Drinking a large glass of lightly salted water before a hearty breakfast helps with bowel movements and gives your digestive system a thorough cleanse, preventing a bloated belly!
Lemon water during morning work:
Citric acid can help detoxify the intestines and accelerate metabolism. The scent of lemon can also soothe nerves and improve your work efficiency, making it a win-win situation.
Before lunch: Warm water
Drinking a glass of warm water before lunch can help fill your stomach and reduce the amount of food you eat at lunch; it can also replenish the water your body has lost and speed up your metabolism.
Afternoon tea time: Herbal tea
When it's tea time, my appetite kicks in again. Potato chips, cookies, soda... these are all fattening foods. At this time, I might as well brew a cup of rose tea or vanilla tea, which can not only suppress my appetite, but also nourish my skin and improve my complexion.
Dinner: Vegetable juice
The correct way to drink water is to reduce the intake of carbohydrates and sugars. Therefore, a dinner consisting mainly of protein and vegetable juice is not only low in calories but also provides fiber, which can accelerate the excretion of fat.
