3 Simple Things To Do Every Morning To Lose Weight

How do you wake up every morning?

Tired and sleepy?

Energetic?

Rested

Looking forward to the day ahead?

Grateful?

Hungry?

Coffee on your mind?

The way you wake up gives you a lot of insights about your health and the way you are living your life.

Morning is probably the best time for you to do simple things that can prepare your body and mind for the course of the day.

Also some of the choices you make in the morning can also impact your weight/fat loss.

When you wake up, the body needs water, to flush out all the toxins and waste from your body, which is a by product of all the various functions  it performed while you were asleep. We need to help our body in this cleansing process.

My first tip is DRINK WATER:   A lot of it. Water is the medium in which the flushing will happen and will also help form the bulk of your stools. You need to have a good stool every morning. It's the body's way to getting rid of toxic waster. Most migraines, headaches and feelings of fatigue during the day occur when there is constipation or improper excretion in the morning.

Ever notices how your urine feels a bit warm and tingly in the morning? It may even have a slight odor with it. Toxins !! and the more water you drink the better it is for your liver, kidney and cells.

I suggest working up to a later of water over 15 minutes. Works like magic. Add in some lemon and you help make your body alkaline and you jump start your metabolism.

My second Tip would be to STRETCH:   Imagine your body sleeping for 7 hours, the muscles are all tight and need to be relaxed and stretched to jump start your metabolism in the morning get you into action. Select any 2 -4 stretches and perform them slowly. The effect of stretching is so good for your body and mind, it may even be able to replace that coffee for those who need a mug to wake up completely. Stretching will improve your blood circulation and blood carries oxygen to all your billions of cells, energizing them and equipping them with the medium to perform their very important  functions.

My third tip would be BREATHE:  Some call this meditation, deep breathing, whatever the term is, what you need to do is sit comfortable, back erect and inhale with your tummy rising and exhale with your tummy deflating. Do this slowly and slowly build up the repetitions. You can spend 5 minutes and build up over time. Oxygen is so vital for our being and health and remember fat burns in the presence of oxygen. Energize those cells through breathing and watch how your metabolic rate fires up.Breathing mindfully prepares you mentally and physically for the day ahead and can have a massive impact on your health, both mental and physical.

Have a wholesome breakfast and your ready to go !!!
