Fruits and vegetables that are high in water will improve digestive health and help relieve acidity in the stomach, constipation, and other problems. When you consume these fruits, it will reduce snacking cravings and help with weight loss.

Choose the Right Seasoning

Including spices and herbs such as garlic, chili, and ginger tends to have a warming effect on your body. In hot weather, you can limit consuming foods that contain these ingredients.

Use other kitchen spices like coriander, cumin, and mint leaves. If you want to lose weight, doing this will be more effective. In addition to using them while cooking, consuming spices as part of a simple water-based concoction can help detoxify the body, improve digestion, and promote weight loss.
