Losing weight is not at all an easy task. You would have to struggle very hard to get that perfect figure by going to the gym, undergoing heavy workout sessions and what not. But did you know that by merely having a few home-made drinks during bedtime you can burn the excess fat stored in your body?
1. MILK
A glass of milk (warm or not) can help you sleep more soundly, thanks to a healthy dose of tryptophan and calcium, says Murphy. And more sleep means less next-day cravings. Milk also delivers protein, which helps support muscle strength and growth.
2. CHAMOMILE TEA
A hot mug of this sleep-inducing tea increases your body’s levels of glycine, a neurotransmitter that relaxes your nerves and acts as a mild sedative.
Another cool trait of chamomile: It spikes your core body temperature so that your system responds by drastically cooling itself, lulling you to sleep.
What’s more, chamomile has been linked to improved glucose control and weight loss, says Murphy.
Just make sure that any tea you drink before bed is caffeine-free.
3. WATER
If you’re drinking water, you’re not drinking calories, and that always helps you get ahead when it comes to weight loss. One study found that drinking water was associated with more restorative sleep (technically, it showed “less non-restorative sleep”), and less daytime sleepiness. And more sleep, as you know, can help weight loss as well.
Drinking water is a fine balance, of course—having too much means you have to get up to pee. So stay hydrated through the day and drink reasonable amounts of water before you turn in.
4. GRAPE JUICE
A small glass of 100 percent grape juice before bed may help you sleep and burn fat as you dream.
5. GREEK YOGURT PROTIEN SHAKE
Having protein before bed—especially if you’ve worked out beforehand—helps stimulate the repair and rebuilding of muscle (muscle protein synthesis) while you sleep. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns. Dairy is a particularly comforting source of protein, especially for children.
Milk (whether warm or cold) contains calcium and tryptophan, which have both been shown to improve sleep quality. Milk also contains two kinds of dairy protein—whey and casein. Bodybuilders are known to consume whey protein after workouts because it quickly builds muscle mass. Casein protein, however, is a slow-releasing protein better suited for building muscle over the long run.
6. ALEO VERA JUICE
Drinking aloe vera juice at bedtime may help you shed extra fat naturally. Aloe vera has the potential of curing a range of ailments and provides complete nourishment to the body.
Aloe vera could boost your metabolism, increasing the number of calories you burn throughout the day to promote weight loss.
Now, that we have shared with you a list of bedtime hacks, make them a part of your daily schedule and lose weight effectively. These detox drinks can help flush out toxins from the body. With an improved digestion and good metabolism, you’ll be able to lose weight fast.
