By stretching the time they go without food, endomorphs can effectively boost their metabolism and manage weight more efficiently.
1. Water: The cornerstone of hydration, water is essential. Whether enhanced with a dash of lemon or mint, it refreshes without calories. Ayurveda even suggests warm water in the morning for a digestive cleanse. A simple start, but powerful.
2. Herbal tea: Herbal teas are a boon for fasters. Caffeine-free varieties like chamomile and mint soothe and won’t interrupt your fasting. For a twist, try ginger or tulsi teas, known to boost immunity, offering comfort in a cup.
3. Black coffee: Coffee lovers, rejoice! Black coffee is your fasting friend. It boosts metabolism and sharpens focus, sugar and milk-free.
4. Coconut water: A staple in diets, coconut water is a slightly caloric yet electrolyte-rich drink. Consumed wisely, it hydrates post-workout. In Kerala, its sweet nectar is a street-side delight.
5. Jeera water: A digestive aid, jeera (cumin) water is a traditional remedy. Soak cumin seeds overnight, sip during fasting. It’s refreshing and detoxifying, a practice with roots in ancient Indian wisdom.
