5. Mint/Melon
The summer season is the perfect time for chowing down on some juicy watermelon, but adding it to your water any time of year may help bring about some positive results in the fat-burning department. According to a study published in Nutrients, watermelon consumption is associated with lower blood pressure, lower BMI, and reduced body weight. Pair this with a sprig or two of mint and you’ll have yourself a refreshingly healthy beverage.
6. Orange/Lemon/Mint
All fruits contain what are known as polyphenols, which are a type of naturally occurring plant compound, but citrus polyphenols have specifically been linked to weight loss and weight management. To take advantage of this in an easy way, make yourself a glass of orange, lemon, and mint water.
A 2014 report from Food Science & Technology concluded that these polyphenols were associated with a reduction in abdominal fat tissue and overall bodyweight, and were also used in certain types of obesity treatments.
