The Unexpected Morning Drink Doctors Say You Should STOP Having Because It Slowly Destroys Your Metabolism

Fruit Juice

Although fruit juice might seem like a healthy breakfast option, it's definitely best to stay away according to Dr. Josh Axe, the founder of DrAxe.com.

He explains, "“Fruit juice – including most apple, orange and grape juice – is basically chemically laden sugar water."

He continues, "I know something like apple juice sounds healthy, but some manufacturers turn apples into juice by adding in sugar, food coloring and flavorings. That is the apple juice you buy today.”

Orange juice, another popular choice for morning drinks, has more sugar per serving than soda.

With that in mind, staying away from fruit juice is a good way to protect your metabolism.

Instead of drinking fruit juice, trying to stick to water or tea first thing in the morning to keep your sugar intake in check.

Tea in particular is a great drink to have first thing in the morning since many tea options contain metabolism-boosting nutrients.

If you aren't sure which teas are best to give your metabolism a boost, try green or black tea. Both are full of caffeine and other healthy nutrients that can expedite weight loss.
