I bet dollars to donuts that you didn’t know that there are specific classes of vegetables that have a very specific set of nutrients that are capable of fighting against stomach fat.
Most folks are totally unaware that there are certain chemicals in food and also in the environment like herbicides, pest control products that contain petrochemicals that can behave like xenoestrogens.
These are chemicals that, if exposed to in excess, can cause hormone imbalance for women and also for men. This can cause problems for all humans.
These xenoestrogens can ,and do, stimulate the body and cause it to store belly fat when we are exposed to them on an almost daily basis.
Here is a way to counteract this effect with these foods and spices.
You should knows that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds
The fact that these vegetables work against the estrogenic effects help in your battle to fight and therefore reduce the amount of belly fat you have.
You need to eat your veggies like your mother told you to since you were young. She new what she was talking about.
I’ve really learned to like all these veggies, even brussells sprouts. I melt a little grass-fed cheese on them with some garlic. Try to come up with your own healthy, low fat way to eat these veggies.
Here are some of the spices that also can help you burn off the fat
1. Capsaicin, the compound gives red chili pepper its heat, increased energy via heat expenditure by up to 23% after ingesting it at breakfast.
2. Black Pepper increases body heat (thermogenesis) by bonding to TRPV1 receptors in the brain.
The spice turmeric fights cancer and also has a thermogenic effect.
Combine all three spices and add them to you meals and you will get an increase in their fat burning benefits
Just be careful not to overdo the spices, otherwise you’ll end up with more heartburn than fatburn.
