Sip To Slim! 7 Morning Drinks For Belly Fat Reduction & Detox

1. Jeera Water

Cumin (jeera) is a staple spice in all Indian households. We all have this little, brown-coloured spice somewhere in the kitchen and use it to add flavour to dishes. 

Jeera is a near-zero calorie food that has detoxifying properties, regulates blood sugar levels in the body, lowers bad cholesterol and leads to better metabolism. These properties help your body burn fat faster when you have a glass of hot jeera water in the morning. 

For the best results, add it to your daily diet 1-2 times a day after meals and once in the morning.

Recipe: 

1. Soak a teaspoon of jeera in water overnight.
2. Boil it in the morning.
3. Drink it while it's still warm. 
4. If you forgot to soak it overnight, you can also boil jeera in water for 10-15 minutes and strain and drink. 
5. Add a squeeze of lemon for a better taste and enhance fat-burning.

2. Fennel Water

Like jeera, fennel or saunf is a miracle ingredient that is actually known to cure indigestion and flatulence. 

Fennel is a rich source of antioxidants, minerals and fibre, all of which contribute to fat loss. Fibre helps you stay fuller for longer, which reduces your cravings for junk food, leading to portion control. Fennel can promote fat-burning by boosting your metabolism.

Recipe: 

1. Simply soak a teaspoon of fennel in hot water, let it steep for about 10 minutes and drink.

3. Green Tea

Recipe:

1. Add green tea leaves to boiling water and let it boil for more than a minute. 
2. Then, strain the water and drink. 
3. You can also use tea bags that you can leave in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to steep.

4. Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera juice has detoxifying properties that help flush out toxins and improve digestion. Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which may support metabolism and promote fat-burning when consumed regularly. 

It is recommended that you start with a small amount of aloe vera juice to gauge your body's reaction and continue accordingly.

Recipe: 

1. Wash the aloe vera leaf thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue, then cut off the thorny edges and cut lengthwise.  
2. Scoop out the gel-like flesh of the leaf and transfer it to a blender along with 1-2 cups of water.
3. Pout it in a glass and add a splash of lemon juice and honey for a kick of flavour. 

5. Turmeric Water

Turmeric water has potential fat-burning properties and numerous health benefits. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties due to its active compound, curcumin. Due to this, turmeric has the potential to aid in weight loss and boost fat metabolism. It also doubles as a healthy winter drink to keep you warm!

Be warned that turmeric water has a strong flavour that might not suit your palate, so adjust the amount of turmeric, lemon, and honey to your taste preferences.

Recipe: 

1. Heat water until it's warm but not boiling. 
2. Add ground turmeric or grated fresh turmeric root to a glass or mug. 
3. Add some lemon juice and honey. 
4. Pour the warm water into the glass and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Allow the mixture to infuse for a few minutes. 
6. Stir again to mix the turmeric well before drinking.

6. Mint Tea

Mint tea, a delicious, refreshing drink, is a fabulous way to burn belly fat. The menthol content of the mint relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract, which soothes the digestive system and reduces bloating. 

More than that, it also suppresses your appetite, which may help reduce your calorie intake!

Recipe: 

1. Thoroughly wash fresh mint leaves and boil a cup of water. 
2. Putting the leaves in a cup or kettle, pour boiling water and let them steep for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how strong you want it to be. 
3. Strain and pour it into a cup. 
4. Add honey or lemon to taste.

7. Cinnamon Water

Recipe: 

1. You can either use cinnamon sticks or cinnamon powder. 
2. Boil a glass of water and add your cinnamon stick or a pinch of cinnamon powder.
3. Let it boil for about 10 minutes then turn off the heat and let it cool for a while until lukewarm. 
4. Add honey and drink it on an empty stomach.
