Tuesday Tips 12: Drink To No Belly Fat!

Hi Guys!

When wearing that itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polkadot bikini, the last thing you want to worry about is that belly fat. This summer, you want to look your best but also stay healthy and hydrated in this scorching heat. 

Drinking lots of water is always very important anytime in the year. However, adding three simple ingredients to your water can help you keep the belly fat away! 

Ready for the recipe?

1 liter of water (approx ~ 32 oz.)
1 sliced cucumber 
1 sliced lemon 
8-10 mint leaves, depending on how strong you want it



Water is always be good for us. It helps flush the toxins and waste out of our system, helping our kidney and liver do their jobs easier.  Cucumber has an organic compound called citrulline which helps flush out toxins such as ammonia, which is very damaging to our cells. It also has an abundance of various vitamins such as B vitamin (B1,B2,B3,B5, B6), Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Zinc! Lemons are always refreshing! But it more importantly helps regulate our digestive tract and stimulate bile production which helps break down dietary fats in our small intestine. Last but not least, mint improves the flow of the bile from the liver to the gallbladder, to the small intestines and can relax those cramped muscles! 

Hope you guys give this a try! It makes drinking water be more tastier and since most of belly fat is caused by digestive irregularities it'll be beneficial. This recipe makes about four 8oz. bottles, so make a pitcher, leave it in the fridge, and pour yourself a drink throughout the day!
