The Answer:
Cold Drinks
It's summer! An extra super, crazy,
blazing hot summer! So cold drinks is fitting for the season. On the
9/30/11
episode of the Dr. Oz Show focusing on Boosting Metabolism (that
re-aired on 6/22/12), Dr. Oz recommended drinking 3 iced drinks per
day to boost metabolism.
Dr. Oz recommends drinking 3
iced drinks per day. Cold drinks force the body to
reestablish temperature requiring the burning of calories. Over the
course of a year you can burn 1 extra pound.
The other three drinks in the multiple
choice quiz have also been recommended at one time or another to
support healthy weight management and even metabolism.
Green Tea
contains the antioxidant EGCG which has thermogenic properties which
play a role in boosting the metabolism to burn fat. On the 5/18/12:
Meal Makeovers episode, Dr. Oz recommended taking and EGCG
supplement, 500mg daily, to help boost the metabolism and increase
the chances of staying on a diet. That's certainly one way to get the
benefits of green tea. There's also the simple act of drinking green
tea that can play a role in weight management.
Whole Milk
may potentially be a good choice when looking to lose weight because
it contains some protein, healthy fats, and vitamins including
Vitamin D – which has been shown to be a part of healthy weight
management. Moderation is the key, certainly because whole milk will
have more calories than 2% or skim milk and even when compared with
many dairy-alternative milks.
Coffee
contains caffeine and Dr. Oz has long recommended small amounts of
caffeine not only for the energy properties it brings to the table
but also for it's connection to boosting the metabolism. On the other
hand, too much caffeine can over tax the adrenal glands leading to
stress on the body and possibly a higher release of the stress
hormone cortisol which has been connected to weight gain. And our
mantra is “moderation, moderation, moderation”.
