How to eat, when to eat, and what to eat are all important. Many times we eat something before exercise to replenish energy and help us burn fat, so that we can exercise better. So what do you think you should eat before exercise to speed up fat burning? Let’s take a look at fitness food together!
Foods rich in vitamin C
Eating foods containing vitamin C before exercise can help promote metabolism and help speed up the burning of fat in the body, which is beneficial to weight loss. Foods rich in vitamin C include: fresh dates, citrus, oranges, red fruits, strawberries, kiwis, wild dates, sea buckthorn; peppers, tomatoes, spinach, cauliflower, amaranth, alfalfa, etc.
Low GI carbohydrates
Low GI carbohydrates can help increase the body’s feeling of fullness, ensuring adequate energy supply during exercise without gaining weight. The body consumes a lot of energy during exercise, and eating carbohydrates before exercise can replenish energy. Foods rich in carbohydrates: rice, bread, grapes, noodles, biscuits, chocolate, peaches, coffee, porridge, etc.
Warm food
If you want to speed up the metabolism of body fat, you can choose to eat warm foods one hour before exercising, which can effectively increase the body's basal metabolic rate. Warming foods include: onions, garlic, leeks, carrots, chili peppers, mango, chestnut, red dates, ginger, lychees, longan, tangerines, oranges, grapes, glutinous rice, walnuts, scented tea, oolong tea, beef, shrimp, etc.
Foods rich in fiber
Eating fiber-rich foods before exercise can not only enhance the body's feeling of fullness, but also contain very few calories. Fiber acts like a sponge and absorbs fat in the body, thus helping the digestive system "function" better. Foods rich in fiber include: celery, apples, spinach, cabbage, pumpkin, rape, wheat, potatoes, cauliflower, soybeans, etc.
Green tea
Drinking green tea before exercise can help speed up fat burning. Green tea contains caffeine, which can unconsciously burn fat in people's bodies. Caffeine can speed up people's heart rate and make people more energetic.
Sugar-free coffee
Drinking sugar-free coffee before exercise can help speed up fat burning. Caffeine can increase fat burning rate and is very healthy. It is recommended that friends who want to lose weight drink a cup of coffee without any seasoning before exercise, which can quickly burn fat.
Warm water
Drinking more water can speed up blood circulation and increase the body's metabolic rate. Drinking a 500cc glass of warm water 2 hours before exercise can reduce hunger and replenish water in time. When water enters the intestines and stomach, it will quickly detoxify, relieve constipation for people who are losing weight, and can achieve a very good body shaping effect.
