5 Morning Rituals, Effective for Boosting Metabolism

Dream - The habits or rituals performed in the morning are believed to have a big influence on daily activities, body condition, and mood. If you start the morning well, the rest of the day can also go better.

One of the benefits of implementing positive habits in the morning is to improve the metabolism process, which is good for the body's health. In certain conditions, metabolism slows down, making the body feel weak, unfit, difficult to have bowel movements, and mood decreases.

Therefore, when starting the day, it is important to do things that can improve or boost metabolism.

1. Drink Water

The first ritual that should not be missed in the morning is drinking a glass of water. Because drinking water can help eliminate toxins that accumulate in the body and regulate digestion. Other benefits include aiding the metabolism process, increasing energy, losing weight, controlling blood sugar, and many more.

2. Drink Infused Water

After waking up, the body will undergo detoxification, which means the natural process of eliminating substances that are not beneficial to the body. One way you can support the detoxification process is by drinking infused water, such as cucumber and lemon slices or lemon water mixed with honey.

If you consume these drinks in the morning, they can help accelerate the process of toxin elimination, increase metabolism, and improve digestion.

3. Don't Skip Breakfast

When you start the morning with good things like drinking water and infused water, don't skip breakfast. Skipping breakfast can cause gas formation in the intestines, which can slow down the digestion process, cause inflammation, and affect other important functions in the body.

4. Add Protein and Fiber

When you are going to have breakfast in the morning, you should also pay attention to what nutrients enter your body. Especially make sure there is protein and fiber. Because both nutrients are very good for increasing energy, improving digestion, and making you feel full longer.

5. Avoid Sugar

For Dream Friends who start the morning with sweet drinks like packaged drinks or homemade juices, be careful. This is because sugar not only adds weight but also slows down the metabolism process and makes the body feel sleepy and lethargic. To be healthier, you can consume fruits or smoothies with natural sweetness.

Calorie deficit is not enough to be done just by reducing the amount of food consumed. You also need to pay attention to the nutrients that need to be fulfilled every day.
