After waking up, how to activate the natural weight loss process?

What you do first thing in the morning affects your metabolism, hunger, and your internal body clock. Making some adjustments at this time can help improve your weight loss naturally.

To activate the weight loss process in the new day, as soon as you wake up, everyone should do the following:

Drink water as soon as you wake up

After a long night's sleep, the body often loses water through respiration and evaporation through the skin. Therefore, drinking a glass of water as soon as you wake up is a simple way to start the body, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).

Drinking water on an empty stomach increases your metabolic rate in the short term, and also helps reduce hunger caused by thirst. In fact, sometimes hunger is actually caused by thirst, not an empty stomach.

Water also aids digestion by softening stools and promoting bowel movements, thus preparing the body for breakfast. Some studies suggest that drinking cold water can stimulate mild thermogenesis, causing the body to expend more energy. This mechanism occurs because when cold water enters the stomach, the body warms the water to 37 degrees Celsius, equivalent to body temperature. This process still requires energy, although the amount of calories burned is not much.

Morning exercise

Exercising in the morning is one of the best ways to kick-start your metabolism and aid weight loss. Research has shown that people who regularly exercise in the early morning have lower body mass indexes (BMIs) and waist circumferences than those who exercise at other times of the day.

Morning physical activity not only burns calories but also helps the body maintain a higher metabolic rate for many hours after. We do not necessarily have to do heavy exercise, just walking, stretching, light yoga or some simple movements at home are enough.

Early morning sun exposure

Morning sunlight is an important factor in synchronizing the body clock, regulating hormones and supporting weight control. A study by Northwestern University (USA) showed that people exposed to natural light early in the day had a lower body mass index than those exposed to light later.

Experts recommend getting about 20-30 minutes of natural light exposure in the morning. If the weather is too sunny, you can stand in a shady place but still get good light. This is a natural and safe way to promote weight loss through regulating the circadian rhythm.

Eat a breakfast rich in protein and fiber

A nutritious breakfast, especially one rich in protein and fiber, can determine how hungry and full you feel throughout the day. Protein keeps you feeling fuller for longer, reduces cravings, and limits snacking. Ideal breakfast options include eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, beans, whole grains combined with fresh fruit, according to Medical News Today .
