In our busy life, we do not get enough time to work for our physical health which further leads to us being overweight and obese. Many people have time issues due to office work, traveling jobs or any other thing. Thus, in order to overcome such problems we can bring some changes in our daily routine which are very easy to implement.
Green Tea

Green tea contains caffeine which is antioxidant that speed up metabolism and it regulate hormones that affect hunger and fullness.

Drink Soups

Green Leafy Vegetables
Eat a good portion of green leafy vegetables as it’s extremely low in calories when compared to other foods. They are often dense in nutrients, and that’s why they are a preferred food item in a weight loss diet. It contains a nutrient known as Vitamin K as this fat-soluble vitamin is extremely helpful in stimulating weight loss. Recent research also suggests that Vitamin K can help reduce inflammation, help combat diabetes, and help reduce plaque formation in the arteries.
Get Enough Sleep
People getting less than 6 hours of sleep at night are more likely to be diagnosed as obese. Obesity itself can increase the risk of developing conditions that interfere with sleep, like sleep apnea and depression. Always keep a regular sleep schedule as it causes changes in metabolism and reduces insulin sensitivity making it easier for blood sugar to be elevated. Do not eat right before bed as eating late may reduce the success of weight loss attempts.
