Losing weight made easy: a home remedy can stimulate fat burning
The reason for the increased fat burning is the high vitamin C content in lemon.
This stimulates the production of hormones in the body, as reported by the industry portal Fitforfun.de.
In addition to the happiness hormone serotonin, the neurotransmitter norepinephrine is also increasingly released.
In addition to the metabolism, this also boosts fat burning.
As a side effect, vitamin C also supports the production of L-carnitine, which stimulates the burning of fat in the muscles.
Fitness experts advise drinking lemon water right after you get up.
