A natural recipe for a very effective fat burning beverage:
Ingredients:
- ½ glass of water
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 lemon or 1 grapefruit
Preparation:
To prepare your fat burning beverage, pour the baking soda into the half glass of water and stir a little before adding lemon or grapefruit juice to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the bicarbonate is completely dissolved. It is recommended to drink this drink in the morning on an empty stomach, and to take your breakfast 20 minutes later.
Warnings :
Baking soda should be consumed in moderation. Excessive doses can lead to increased blood pressure, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and reduced absorption of certain drugs. Pregnant or nursing women and children under 5 years of age should avoid eating them.
Grapefruit should be avoided in case of medical treatment because it may interact with certain molecules and cause venous thrombosis, bone marrow damage or even cardiac arrest.
Benefits of this drink:
Among the elements that promote overproduction and storage of fats is the acidity of the body. Causing an inflammatory state, it pushes the body to protect itself by wrapping its internal organs of fat. By consuming sodium bicarbonate known for its alkalizing effects, you help your body reduce its acidity and therefore inhibit the storage of fat. As for citrus juice, it is very rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which play an important role in the neutralization of free radicals, also responsible for fat storage. In addition, their fiber content helps to improve digestion, combat digestive disorders and provide a sensation of satiety that inhibits cravings for snacking and sweet foods.
