Green Tea
Another thermogenic food, green tea is seen to aid fat metabolism. This metabolism process is also helped by the caffeine content in green tea.
Water
Drinking water regulates and suppress appetite and is imperative in the proper functioning of the kidneys. If the kidneys are not working properly then some of the detoxing load is moved to the liver reducing the liver’s capacity to properly metabolise fat, one of its primary functions.
