TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The body could actually burn fat while in sleep, about 400-500 calories for 8 hours sleeping. To increase the amount of fat burned, there are some foods and drinks you could consume before closing the eyes. Here are some of them.
1. Green tea
One cup of unsweetened green tea before bedtime can burn 80 times more calories. The antioxidant contained in green tea works to increase the body's metabolism and burn more calories.
2. Milk
Low fat or nonfat milk is a good fat burner to be consumed before bed. Aside from it, dairy products such as cheese and yogurt also have the same benefits since the calcium and mineral in milk can increase the body's metabolism so that fat burning during sleep can be more optimal.
3. Whole Wheat
Whole wheat is rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates that help stimulate the body's metabolism. Hence, it is one of the choices to help burn more calories while in sleep.
4. Peanuts
Peanuts such as groundnuts, almonds, soybeans, and others are the source of vegetable protein that helps burn fat. The fiber and protein from these vegetable materials take longer to digest and that trigger the body's metabolism more actively.
