4 things to look for in your morning drink


1.Detox

Early mornings are the best for detox. Detoxification done in the empty stomach, flushes out toxins from the digestive system very effectively. In addition to that it also increases the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat throughout the day. It is actually the proper digestion and assimilation of food supports weight loss more than the removal of toxins. Hence, cleansing the digestive system plays a vital role in overall improvement of the health.


2. Energy booster

There is a misconception of picking detox drinks over energy drinks in the early mornings. Only detox won't work. It may lead to a fall in your glucose levels and blood pressure. Your morning drink is your first intake after long hours of fasting. You will need some energy for the cleansing process. Hence, always keep an eye on your early morning drinks to give you some energy and minerals.


3. Iron rich

Taking iron rich morning drink keeps you more active throughout the day. You will feel more active and alive. Iron plays a vital role in forming hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier. When you have good oxygen supply, Your brain performs better. In most cases, the lethargy and excessive sleepiness during the day is due to iron deficiency. Iron rich foods in the early morning helps in better absorption of iron in the body as many other foods in the meal may inhibit iron absorption. You can also boost iron absorption by combining it with vitamin c rich fruits or veggies.

The drink must be alkaline. This is last but not the least to note in your morning drink. Sugary bottled drinks, tea , coffee and most of the commonly consumed drinks are acidic which is more depleting to the health. Acidic food and drinks affects the efficiency of the immune system. It also disturbs the Ph level of the blood which is alkaline in nature, resulting in dullness, heart burns etc..

In Ayurveda, excess of acidic foods are intimidating to the self healing process of the body.
