Green Tea
Between its caffeine and antioxidants, green tea has it going on. While both nutrients can help reduce any excess belly fat, pairing them with workouts will help you score crazy core gains, says Spano.
For instance, while caffeine blocks fatigue-inducing adenosine to help you work out harder and longer, in one Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise study, EGCG, the powerful antioxidant for which green tea is famous, was found to increase the amount of oxygen that your body can use as fuel while you sweat. The result: better workout performances and results. Try drinking a glass before your next workout.
