I bet you didn’t know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help to fight against belly fat.
Firstly there are certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can act as 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 estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems.
Now we can talk about how 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 will enable you to fight and reduce belly fat.
Eat your veggies like mom told you to.
Brussel sprouts are great with grass fed cheese on them to improve the flavor as well as adding a little garlic.
There are also a group of spices that help to burn off 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.
Black pepper causes thermogenesis, increases body heat, and that process burn calories from fat.
3. Turmeric has both anti-cancer and pro-thermogenic support. Best of two worlds if you ask me.
Combine all three spices and add them to you meals you get an increase in the benefits of just one. Triple team your fat.
You just do not want to over use these spices or you may end up with too much heartburn. Burn stomach fat , not your stomach lining.
