Certain
vegetables help to stimulate the burning of stomach fat? Sounds a little
strange?
Read the
following article and you'll see why it's not so strange.
Certain
chemicals in our food supply and in our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides,
and petrochemicals have an estrogenic effect in our bodies. This
unfortunately can increase belly fat on both men and women.
Exposure
to xenoestrogens from these chemicals in our food supply, water supply, and the
environment is one factor that can actually encourage your body to retain belly
fat. The problem is that today, even if you eat organic food and live in
a fairly low-pollution area, it is almost impossible not to get at least some
degree of daily exposure to xenoestrogens. They also found in household
cleaners and cosmetics!
So how
can you combat these xenoestrogens so that they are not forcing your body to
retain stomach fat?
That's
where these specific types of vegetables can help.
There are
numerous classes of vegetables, teas, spices, etc that have compounds which can
help fight against the effects of xenoestrogens. However, one of the most
powerful classes are cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, brussels
sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.
These
types of cruciferous vegetables contain very unique compounds (phytonutrients)
such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that can help to combat the effects of
xenoestrogens in your body, and therefore, can help you to burn abdominal fat more
effectively.
You knew
how beneficial it was to eat broccoli and cauliflower... Now, you know another
great benefit - losing stomach fat!
