It’s never too early to get started on your New Year’s resolutions, but the holidays are never an easy time to follow a healthy eating plan and find time to work out. But still, there is a way that you can get ahead on your fitness goals before 2020 even starts – and it only takes ten minutes out of your day.
There is one hot drink you can have every morning to jump start weight loss goals before January. You just need to try to keep consistent with drinking it each day to get the most benefits from this drink.
You should drink a cup of green tea every morning to lose weight. Green tea has both caffeine and an antioxidant called catechin, which can both speed up the metabolism and increase the amount of energy your body takes from food. Plus, catechin can help break down excess fat. This means that drinking green tea at the start of your day can help boost your chances of losing weight when paired with a healthy diet.
If you don’t have time for a whole cup of tea, you can also try green tea extract supplements. These are made with an even higher concentration of catechin, and might even be more beneficial for weight loss.
Green tea is good for your health in many ways, not just weight loss. Because this tea is rich in antioxidants, it can improve brain function, lower your risk of certain diseases and lower your risk of infection.
