Introduction
It’s not uncommon for most people to wake up dehydrated after sleeping for seven to eight hours, which is too long to go without a drink. Fortunately, healthy early morning drinks can give your body the energy to start your day positively. Are you looking for the best beverages to add to your breakfast? Here are some good drinks you should drink each morning to boost your metabolism, hydration, and vitality.
1: Lemon water
Sipping a glass of water in the morning is beneficial. But it’s even better if you add citrus fruits like lemon to it. Indeed, it can nourish you with vitamin C and help detoxify your system in the morning. To prepare this simple beverage, boil a cup of water and squeeze about two halves of lemon into it. Add one or two tablespoons of honey to the mixture and gently stir until it becomes cloudy. Once the temperature cools down, you are good to gulp down.
2: Cinnamon water
Enjoying a glass of cinnamon and honey benefits your blood sugar level, protects you against cardiac diseases, and minimizes inflammation. As a tip, add a spoonful of honey to one glass of water to prepare your cinnamon beverage. Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon and stir the mixture evenly. Feel free to add some ice cubes if you prefer chilling your drink.
3. Coconut water
Raw coconut water is an effective drink to hydrate your system any day. It balances your electrolytes, which are essential for managing your blood pressure. Fortunately, you can take it in the morning, afternoon, and evening. It’s important to make sure your coconut water is fresh. Plain coconut water comes loaded with essential nutrients like potassium and calcium, so keep this in mind. It also contains antioxidants to combat free radicals and detoxify your body.
4: Coffee
You will always have a great day if you prioritize taking a cup of coffee for breakfast. Most coffee lovers agree that the beverage is the best way to enthusiastically start your day. This popular beverage offers several interesting benefits when taken in the morning. For example, the caffeine in coffee helps enhance your energy and mood. Morning coffee is also linked with decreasing your risks of diabetes and boosting your brain function. Unfortunately, if your coffee maker or espresso machine needs to be fixed, you may be unable to prepare a delicious coffee beverage in the morning. However, maintaining your espresso machine shouldn’t be a problem, provided you invest in handy coffee tools. A dirty coffee maker can affect the flavor of your favorite breakfast beverage, so ensure you always clean your machine.
5: Fruit smoothies
A creamy and tasty smoothie will not disappoint your taste buds in the morning. Try blending some fruits, such as bananas and blueberries, with yogurt. After mixing the fruits of your choice, pour them into a glass and prepare for a blast in the morning. The shot of nutrients you would gain from this smoothie is enough to power you up for your morning routines, so feel free to consider this.
6: Aloe vera and amla juice
These two ingredients are not only used in skincare and hair products; they are also great for ramping up your metabolism and cleansing your body in the morning. Aloe vera and amla juice mixture can reduce the accumulation of toxins in your body and fat, helping enhance your fat-burning capacity. Here is how to prepare this drink: Mix about four to five teaspoons of aloe vera and amla juice in one glass of water and take it. You can also buy a ready-made concoction of these ingredients if you can’t source them. The anti-inflammatory effects of aloe vera juice can benefit your gastrointestinal inflammation, so keep this in mind. It’s also worth noting that aloe juice is also well-known for healing cuts and skin tissues.
7: Vegetable juice
If your caffeine drinks are not favorites, you can replace your cup of coffee with a glass of green juice to ramp up your energy. The nutrients in leafy green veggies like kale and spinach effectively boost energy. Iron-rich vegetables improve oxygen delivery to your cells and can help reduce your fatigue. However, ensure you get organically-grown veggies to reap the full benefits. By doing so, you can rest assured that you aren’t consuming toxic chemicals.
Taking beverages alongside your breakfast meals can be beneficial. The above top seven beverages are useful in the morning, from enhancing your metabolism to hydration. Hopefully, you’ll add them to your morning meal plan.
