Green tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant polyphenol, which can block the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, leading to faster and more effective fat burning. Drinking 3-4 cups (about 200 ml each) of green tea daily, especially before a 30-minute walk, can accelerate fat oxidation. |

Ginger can boost thermogenesis and reduce hunger. Compounds in ginger, such as gingerol and shogaol, promote oxidation, increasing fat breakdown in muscles, the liver, and fat tissue. Those looking to lose weight can drink warm ginger tea or add ginger to stews and stir-fries. |

Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, a compound that can increase total calories burned through thermogenesis, reducing fat mass and waist circumference. Adding cinnamon powder to coffee or warm drinks enhances flavor, and it can also be used in dishes and pastries. Cinnamon's mild spiciness promotes fat oxidation and increases satiety. |
