Trying to shed extra fat? A few healthy morning habits can help you achieve this success. Besides, it is important to master these habits for physical health. UK Cambridge doctor and co-founder of Sahay Health Dr. Tasnim Zara talked about some such practices in a video.
Drink half a liter of water in the morning on an empty stomach. It will not eat too much food during breakfast, the stomach will also be full. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that drinking water right before a meal will cause digestive problems.
Decide in the morning what you will eat throughout the day as snacks. Eating unhealthy food like cold drinks, puri, singara can be avoided in this. Cut a bowl of fruit and take it with you before going out. You can also take nuts or dry fruits. You can also take home-made healthy food with you.
If possible, walk to office in the morning or take the child to school. If the office is far away, you can walk down to a distance of 10/15 minutes. Gradually increase the amount of walking. It will make it easier to maintain good health even after losing weight.
If you have a habit of drinking tea and coffee in the morning, try to have it without sugar. Eating sugar adds extra calories to our body, which leads to weight gain. If you are in the habit of eating biscuits with tea, avoid that too.
Weigh in the morning. Weighing yourself regularly can motivate you to lose weight—research suggests. Measure the weight in the morning on an empty stomach after using the toilet.
Exercising in the morning is a very healthy habit. You can do it by jumping rope, brisk walking, running, squatting, weight lifting or any exercise that is convenient for you.
Get up in the morning and calculate how long you slept at night. Because without enough sleep, it is difficult to keep weight under control. If not getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep, consider making a quick change to your sleep routine.
A study was conducted at Oxford University on 100 overweight people. Divided into two groups, one group was asked to weigh themselves every morning. Another group was also asked to weigh themselves, but after weighing they were told to set a specific action point that would help them lose weight. For example, going for a walk without hanging out with friends, eating dinner early, or doing something that helps you lose weight. Any such task determined for the day that the group, after 8 weeks, lost 3 kg more than the other group. You can fix such action points to lose weight.
