Usne bola coffee, garam paani\u2026(I went into shock\u2026he said coffee, warm water\u2026)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Reasoning why he decided to try the combination, Aaryamann continued: \u201cThoda metabolism ko kick off karenge.

Always consult your health practitioner before starting any routine.<\/p>\n<p>To verify, we reached out to a dietitian.<\/p>\n<p>Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal said that it reflects a popular belief that certain morning rituals can boost <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/lifestyle\/food-wine\/body-eat-ghee-every-day-health-benefits-9024723\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">metabolic rate<\/a><\/strong> instantly. \u201cWhile this combination sounds appealing, the science behind it needs a more balanced understanding,\u201d said Goyal.<\/p>\n<p>Starting the day with warm water can support hydration and digestion after an overnight fast. \u201cIt helps stimulate gut movement and may make you feel lighter, but it does not directly increase metabolic rate in a significant way,\u201d mentioned Goyal.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee, on the other hand, does have a measurable effect. \u201cThe caffeine content can temporarily increase alertness and slightly elevate metabolic activity. It may also enhance workout performance if consumed before exercise. However, this effect is mild and short-lived, not a long-term metabolism booster,\u201d contended Goyal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" class=\"lazyloading wp-image-10663537 size-full\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/water-fast_1600_freepik.jpg\" alt=\"water\"  \/> Does the combination help? (Photo: Freepik)<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of ghee is often linked with claims of improving metabolism or aiding fat loss. \u201cIn reality, ghee is a source of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/lifestyle\/food-wine\/turns-out-we-have-been-cooking-with-ghee-wrong-all-along-9325306\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">healthy fats<\/a><\/strong> and can support satiety and energy when used in moderation. But adding fat to your morning drink does not \u2018activate\u2019 metabolism. In fact, it increases calorie intake, which needs to be considered, especially for those aiming for weight management,\u201d said Goyal.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>From a clinical perspective, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/lifestyle\/health\/can-applying-ghee-twice-a-week-for-a-month-help-with-frizzy-hair-within-2-3-weeks-of-regular-use-10460003\/\" class=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">metabolism<\/a><\/strong> is not something that gets \u201cswitched on\u201d by a single drink or habit. \u201cIt is influenced by factors like muscle mass, physical activity, sleep quality, hormonal balance, and overall diet pattern,\u201d shared Goyal.<\/p>\n<p>What such routines can do is create a sense of structure and consistency, which indirectly supports better lifestyle habits. But relying on them as a shortcut for fat loss or metabolic improvement can be misleading.<\/p>\n<p>DISCLAIMER:\u00a0This article is based on information from the public domain and\/or the experts we spoke to.
