5 Benefit of Drinking Lemon Water

We hear about new fad diets or health trends everyday and honestly, it can get confusing and a tad frustrating! Over the years I have experimented with and adopted a number of them, some worked, some didn’t. One that did was lemon with warm water.

Everyday, upon waking, I drink half a litre of water to hydrate my mind and body, followed by a glass of lukewarm water with juice of half a lemon. After only a few weeks I experienced the following benefits:

1. Better digestion- I no longer had a problem with unsightly bloat in fitted tops and dresses. My stomach bloat had pretty much dissappeared.

2. Clearer and glowing skin- This was most evident as I received many compliments for my glowing skin. Lemon releases toxins from your body which increases that glow.

3. Less allergies/colds- Lemon has a good shot of Vitamin C and having it everyday really spikes immunity and inturn reduces diseases and allergies.

4. Reduced appetite- For me, having lemon water really helped me with eating a healthy eating choices as you don't want to ruin a healthy start to the day.

5. Extra energy- This may be psychological but I feel pumped for a workout after I have this concoction. This may be due to the antioxidant effect.

I honestly believe that beauty is 10% genetics, 30% grooming and 60% nutrition & exercise; the genes you inherit are not in your control but the rest is. So make sure you are aware of what you are putting in your body. Clear eyes, glowing skin, luscious hair and a cheerful personality is a result of factors in your control! I'll be doing a lot more posts to help you control that 90% so do comment below for anything you want covered in particular.

Eat to lose weight

Good news for all those trying to lose those extra kilos: You needn’t starve to get thin. For what its worth, those extra inches around your belly may not always be fat. Forget crash/fad diets, read on to know how you can beat the bulge by eating (right).

BEAT THE BLOAT

The first step to weight loss is to figure out the reason for it. Most of the people he consults suffer from gastric problems like constipation and indigestion and many a time bloating is a result of that. One of the most common reasons for bloating is eating breakfast and dinner as main meals but staying pretty much hungry or eating a small fried snack in the evening.


NOT JUST FATS

Bloating also occurs due to vitamin D deficiency or hypothyroidism. Get it checked before you decide on a diet. Weight gain could also be due to lack of fibre in your diet, excess of grains (chapattis and bread) in your diet or just eating more starchy foods. “Sometimes it’s actually important to add useful fats like ghee in your diet as you don’t want to deprive your body of any important nutrient,”.

Nutrition experts advice following the six-meal rule for beating bloat. To follow it, eat at an interval of every two hours. Start with breakfast, follow it with snacks and eat a proper lunch followed by snacks again. End your day with dinner – preferably three hours before going to bed. Drinking green tea after every main meal is a good idea, as it boosts metabolism and aids digestion.

Eat this and lose FAT

Gobhi Cauliflower

This common winter veggie gets a bad rap for being an acidity- inducing food. But if your gut can handle it, a cup of cauliflower has 2 gm of fiber for 27 calories, plus it has vitamin C that is known to rev up metabolism.





Green Peas
Full of dietary fibre, vitamins and proteins that propel weight loss, peas contain about 67 calories per cooked cup. Have it as a stand-alone snack or mix it with high-calorie foods or carb-rich meals to bring down the total calorie content.

Red Pepper

"Red peppers contain a molecule called capsaicin that boosts fat-burning rate and promotes weight loss to an extent," says Singh. Capsaicin boosts metabolism through thermogenesis, or production of heat. In fact, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating 6 mg of capsaicin per day improved abdominal fat loss rate in both men and women.

Guava 

At 112 calories per cup, guava is a satiating snack. One cup of guava meets more than 20 per cent of your daily fibre needs. "Besides being rich in fibre, guavas are high in water content that keeps you full and also gives a natural sugar rush," . Add to it the vitamin C bonus.

Spice Cinnamon

This spice is rich in polyphenols that keeps blood sugar levels on the right track. A Swedish study found that including cinnamon in your meals increases satiety. "Spices, in the right quantity, help in 'appetite management' which is essential for weight management. But you can't have cinnamon-laced tea                                              with oil-laden pakoras,".
