Want to lose weight? Drinking some “super fat-burning” drinks before going to bed is the best! You might think that eating or drinking any food or drink right before bedtime might interfere with sleep, but in fact, some nutrients can actually help you build muscle, improve blood sugar stability, and burn fat. The foreign website “Women’s Health” lists the following 5 drinks. If you are losing weight, you may drink some before going to bed at night!
- Milk
Milk contains tryptophan and calcium. Drinking a glass before bed (hot or cold) will help you sleep better and wake up refreshed the next day! And the study of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise pointed out that casein in milk can help you build muscle during sleep, accelerate metabolism, and achieve weight loss effect.
- Grape juice
Drink a small glass of 100% grape juice before bed to help you sleep and burn fat. A study in Cell Reports pointed out that the insulin secreted after drinking fruit juice at night can regulate the body’s circadian rhythm. And research from the International Journal of Obesity found that grapes contain the antioxidant resveratrol, which converts calorie-storing white fat into calorie-burning brown fat.
- Chamomile tea
Hot chamomile tea relaxes your nerves, induces sleep, is a mild sedative, and has been linked to improved blood sugar control and weight loss, but make sure any tea you drink before bed is caffeine-free and stay away from detox teas.
- Fermented milk drinks
Kefir is a fermented milk drink rich in probiotics that boosts healthy bacteria in your gut, boosts digestion, and helps you absorb vitamins and minerals more efficiently. Research from the British Journal of Sports Medicine also shows that yogurt drinks can not only improve sleep, but also make exercise more effective.
- Soy Protein Drink
Whether in milk or protein powder form, soy induces melatonin to improve sleep quality, and the tryptophan in it also reduces cortisol levels and helps fight belly fat.
