Accumulation of abdominal fat

A Healthline article published in August 2018 states

Most people tend to accumulate fat either in their midsection or in their hips and thighs.

You shouldn't underestimate how the calories gained from sweet drinks, insomnia, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to abdominal fat. With this information in mind, seeking additional methods to reduce abdominal will surely benefit us all.

How can certain drinks help reduce abdominal fat?

Health and nutrition experts in blogs like Eat This, Not That, Healthshots, and Stylecraze, justify certain drinks as an effective weight loss method. Aayushi Gupta, in her article 5 juices you can drink without worrying about weight gain! accredits high minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant properties in these drinks to their potent weight loss ability. Lyssie Lakatos, RDN, CDN, CFT, and Tammy Lakatos Shames, RDN, CDN, CFT, in another article, reiterated the same. This duo is known as 'The Nutrition Twins.' They praised antioxidants as the significant weight loss agent in certain juices.

Can any fruit and vegetable juice help to lose weight?

The answer to this question is no. Juices from fruits and vegetables with potent antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals contribute to weight loss. But it's not just juice. Other drinks like tea and coffee prove beneficial in reducing weight, especially around the midsection. According to The Nutrition Twins, antioxidants mop up free radicals, preventing inflammation linked to weight gain.

What drinks can help reduce belly fat? Here are five drinks that encourage weight loss.

1. Pomegranate juice

The article, The #1 Best Juice to Shrink Abdominal Fat, Say Dietitians, The Nutrition Twins, explains how pomegranate juice helps to encourage weight loss. According to them, the antioxidants in pomegranate prevent chronic inflammation, which is proven to stimulate weight gain.

2. Green tea

Like pomegranate juice, green tea contains significant amounts of inflammatory-reducing antioxidants. And reducing inflammation encourages weight loss. Since many of you already drink green tea, you can add another beneficial reason for taking your morning green tea.

3. Kombucha

I had to research this drink since it's new to me. The ingredients in Eat This, Not That article, 13 Drinks That Melt Belly Fat, Say Dietitians, list the ingredient as black tea, fruits, and spices. Kelly Springer, MS, RD, CDN, describes this drink as a potent source of probiotics. Probiotics help to support healthy gut bacteria and reduce inflammation. And, by extension, encourages weight loss.

4. Green veggies juice.

Green veggie juice with spinach, kale, and celery is rich in antioxidants and fiber and low in sugar. So while antioxidants reduce inflammation and encourage weight loss. It is high fiber content and low sugar content, minimize the amount of sugar absorbed from the gut.

5. Warm lemon water.

According to the Stylecraze article, 50 Healthy Vegetable And Fruit Juices For Weight Loss, warm lemon water on an empty stomach help to decrease your weight. According to the article, lemon water cleanse and detoxify the body, which speeds up weight loss.

Conclusion

It is evident from the information above that drinks rich in antioxidants are beneficial to any weight loss routine. But The Nutrition Twins warns about adopting a juice-only diet since these drinks do not contain proteins and health-plant fats. More so, before starting new diets and exercise routines, you should consult with your doctor.
