Why should you take vitamin C in the morning?

Vitamin C takes part in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Research has shown that supplementing vitamin C significantly improves fat burning. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the water-soluble vitamins, therefore it should be taken before the first meal.

Why should you drink a glass of water in the morning?

Although it doesn’t contain any calories, water is considered to be the most valuable nutrient. It provides the necessary electrolytes and minerals, improves metabolism, lowers apetite and helps in fat burning. Insufficient water intake makes your body start storing fat, while increasing the amount of water you drink brings the exactly opposite effect.

Why should you eat coconut oil? What are the types?

Coconut oil is highly rich in minerals and nutrients. It includes B2, B6, E and C vitamins, folic acid, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium and zinc. Coconut oil improves health in numerous ways (you can read about it in a separate article), but the most important aspect for those trying to lose weight is that it is converted to energy very quickly and brings a feeling of satiety, so you’re less likely to be tempted to grab a snack between the meals. It also lowers the level of “bad” LDL cholesterol.

There are two types of coconut oil available. First one is refined, which lacks the specific aroma, and at the same time it provides less minerals and nutrients. Second type is the unrefined virgin oil, which is recommended by us. It’s rich in minerals and nutrients, thanks to being cold-pressed.

Why should you take fish oil and supplement vitamin D3/K2?

Vitamin D3 is the active form of vitamin D. According to some research, up to 90% of people have a deficiency of vitamin D. Sunlight is its basic source for our systems, but nowadays we spend most of the time inside. Vitamin D deficiency causes nervous systems problems, effecting in discomfort, fatigue, or even depression. It is required for circulatory system’s proper functioning, helps in keeping bones in good shape and also improves your overall mood. Vitamin D significantly increases the fat burning rate (according to research – doubles it!). This effect is linked to lowering the cortisol (stress hormone) levels, which is responsible for storing the adipose tissue around your waist. D3 should be taken together with vitamin K2 as taking large doses of D3 may lead to an improper distribution of calcium in the system. Fish oil is a great source of vitamin D3, and also includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which improve brain’s functioning and the strenghten up the immune system.
