If losing weight and getting
healthier are on your mind, here are three things you can (and should!) do early
in the morning before eating breakfast to help reach your goals.
1.
Sip on this: While drinking down a glass of water is a
great way to detox the body and get your digestive juices flowing, if you go
for apple cider vinegar (ACV) instead, you'll benefit from its weight-loss
and immunity-boosting powers. Studies have shown that ACV may help keep you
from feeling hungry by slowing stomach emptying; it also lowers the glycemic
index of high-carb foods like pasta, meaning it can help you feel fuller longer
by slowing the release of glucose into your bloodstream
2.
Move: Exercising first thing in the morning has not
only been shown to boost metabolism and burn more calories than those
who exercise at other times, but it'll also improve your mood and inspire you
to continue making healthy decisions throughout the day. Getting in your
workout first thing in the morning also ensures that it won't get skipped. If
you're not into doing a big workout on an empty stomach or you're short on
time, just do a quick energising yoga session.
3.
Breathe in and
relax: Take at least 10 minutes for
some meditation, to sit and breathe, to relax the body, to calm the mind,
and to visualise and encourage mindful eating. Getting in the habit of
meditating every morning can help you feel gratitude for the food you're about
to eat, help you feel more satiated, and prevent overeating.
