Nowadays obesity and increase in fat around the stomach has become a problem for many people. Diet, regular exercise, good sleep and a healthy lifestyle are important to lose weight. Apart from this, some people have the habit of drinking hot water mixed with some natural ingredients in the morning.
One such popular drink is a drink made by mixing lemon juice, sabja seeds and honey in hot water. However, it is important to note that there is no strong scientific evidence that drinking this drink alone will reduce belly fat or get a flat stomach in just a few days.
What are the benefits of lemon juice?
Many nutrients including Vitamin C are found in lemon. Drinking lemon juice mixed with water can help in increasing the amount of water in the body. However, there is no sufficient evidence that lemon juice directly reduces body fat.
Why are sabja seeds so popular?
Basil seeds or sabja seeds are rich in dietary fiber. When soaked in water, they form a gel-like structure. The presence of fiber helps in feeling full, so using them as part of a healthy diet can help control calorie intake.
Caution should be taken in case of honey
Although honey contains some antioxidant compounds, it also contains sugar. Therefore, it is not advisable to consume honey in large quantities for those trying to lose weight. It is also not right to consider honey as a ‘weight loss food’.
How to prepare?
Soak about half a teaspoon of sabja seeds in a cup of lukewarm water and add one teaspoon of lemon juice to it. If you want, you can also add a little honey. It is important to soak the sabja seeds thoroughly before consumption. It is not mandatory to consume it in the morning on an empty stomach. You can take it as per your daily diet.
Will belly fat reduce in 10 days?
This is a very important point. It is not possible to say with certainty that belly fat will completely disappear in 10 days and you will get a flat stomach. Body weight and belly fat loss depends on diet, physical activity, sleep, hormones, age, and many other factors.
Instead of relying only on this drink for weight loss, it is more effective to prioritize a balanced diet, adequate protein and fiber, regular exercise, and adequate sleep.
