When you want to lose weight, diet is the number 1 factor to take into account. But when we talk about food we think almost exclusively of solids… But don’t forget that liquids are also very important. We remind you that your body is made up of approximately 70% water…
The effectiveness of this drink which helps you lose weight is found in its ingredients.
These promote the elimination of toxins, accelerate metabolism and fight against water retention. Remember that for weight loss to be effective you need a balanced diet and, if possible, daily sporting activity. Even if it’s difficult for you, force yourself, for example, to walk for 30 minutes. This is the minimum for it to work correctly…
