If you dream of a trim body, healthy skin and burning eyes, the first thing you need to pay attention to is how you start your day. If these 10 tips turn into a daily habit for you, every morning will be perfect and will give you not only a great figure, but also a boost of energy for the whole day.
Drink a glass of warm water on an empty stomach
Try starting your morning with a glass of warm water. Drinking water on an empty stomach improves digestion and circulation, promotes weight loss and detoxifies the body.
Be sure to eat breakfast!
Otherwise you run the risk of crashing and overeating throughout the day. Eat something within the first couple hours of rising.
Add pepper
First of all, it will make omelettes, avocados and sandwiches tastier. And second, the active ingredients in black pepper will inhibit the formation of new fat cells.
Prepare in advance
By pouring boiling water over oatmeal the night before, you guarantee yourself a healthy breakfast. Even if you accidentally oversleep the alarm clock, you won’t have to give up healthy food and buy something unhealthy on your way to work or school.
Most of us have no way to deny ourselves high-calorie sweets and flour. From a biochemical point of view, addiction to junk food is a healthy reaction: nature has programmed us to choose as high-calorie food as possible, but the more often we eat it, the less pleasure it brings. That’s why addiction and overweight develop over time: the brain demands either an even higher calorie food or the same old food, but in larger quantities.
Exercise on an empty stomach
Exercising on an empty stomach helps proteins, fats and carbohydrates to be stored in the form of fatty fiber in the smallest possible amounts.Such workouts teach your body to use energy more efficiently and not to waste it, increasing the efficiency of glycogen storage in the muscles.
Contrast showers
Taking a contrast shower in the morning is very good for our body. Under the influence of hot water, skin pores open and blood vessels begin to dilate. As a result, toxins are removed from the body. And the alternating action of heat and cold helps the blood vessels to become stronger and the body more enduring.
A healthy snack
Take something healthy from home just in case you need a snack. Forgo fast food in favor of fruit, yogurt or protein bars. Not only are they healthier, but they also taste better than another bun.
Drink green tea
Thanks to its catechins (substances that make the body use more energy and thus use more nutrients to produce it), tea speeds up metabolism and helps burn fat.
Set yourself a goal!
Buy yourself something nice two sizes smaller or plan a vacation to the sea. There’s nothing easier than setting yourself a worthy goal and going for it!
Get a good night’s sleep
If you decide to get up early to exercise, cook a delicious breakfast or meditate, remember that you need to go to bed early to do it. Get as much sleep as you need to stay awake and energized all day long.
