3 SLEEPY TIME TONICS THAT ALSO BUST FAT


3 SLEEPY TIME TONICS THAT ALSO BUST FAT
1PSYLLIUM AND APPLE JUICE DRINK
YOU NEED: avoid the drink within 2 hours of taking drugs/meals.
·      1 cup of apple juice
·      1/4 cup cold water
·      2 tsp pure, 100% psyllium husk/powder
·      ¼ tsp cinnamon powder
Drink immediately, otherwise, the husk will thicken the drink too much. Follow it up with a glass of plain water.

WHAT IT DOES:

Psyllium – mucilage in the husk acts as a lubricator, helping the food in the digestive tract faster effortlessly. reduces fat absorption from the intestine. The bulking up of stomach contents provides a feeling of fullness that discourages snacking.
Apple – can help reduce oxidative damage and associated inflammation.
Cinnamon – well known for its blood sugar-regulating effect. helps reduce the conversion of sugar into fat The nighttime dose spices up your metabolic activity and increases fat burn


2. GINGER – LEMON DRINK

YOU NEED:

·      5-10 slices of cucumber with skin (or a full cucumber if you like a thick drink)
·      1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
·      6 oz. water
·      Juice of 1 lemon
·      A pinch of Himalayan pink salt (optional)
Blend cucumber and grated ginger with water until smooth. Stir in the juice of one lemon and the salt, if using.

HOW IT WORKS:

Cucumber- It is a low-calorie vegetable with very high fiber content. The soluble fiber in cucumber binds with the fatty acids resulting from the digestion of the fats in our food and quickly carries them away. This reduces the total fat intake from the digestive tract
Ginger – Ginger is a digestive aid. ginger reduces heartburn and stomach discomfort. Ginger also increases metabolic rate, directly aiding fat burn. It is anti-inflammatory as well and helps reduce water retention.
Lemon juice – It is an excellent detoxifier. Although the juice contains high amounts of citric acid, it has an alkalizing effect on the body when fully digested and assimilated.


3. WARM MILK AND NUTMEG DRINK

European Journal of Nutrition in 2013 reports that 11 out of 16 studies have found the opposite to be true. Regular consumption of milk, even the full-fat version, does not cause weight gain, but may actually help prevent weight gain.

YOU WILL NEED:

·      1 cup milk – preferably full-fat organic milk from pastured cows
·      1-2 tsp honey
·      A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (not more than 1/8 of a teaspoon)
Heat the milk and then cool it to the temperature you can handle. Mix in the honey and grated nutmeg, drink it immediately.

WHAT IT DOES:

Milk – The amino acid tryptophan in milk is credited with inducing sleep. This essential amino acid is required in the formation of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of relaxation and sleep.
Honey – Tryptophan requires the assistance of carbohydrates to enter the brain.
Nutmeg – It has a mild sedative effect that puts you in the mood for sleep and this spice has a thermogenic effect that helps fire up your metabolism to burn extra fat during sleep. Caution: Nutmeg, as well as other spices, should be used in very small quantities to derive their beneficial effects. Don’t assume that if a little is good, a lot will be better.
