Can vegetables help you burn belly fat? Does that sounds crazy to you?
Maybe but perhaps you should read on first…
First off, if you look around, you will quickly discover that the world we live in now has somewhat become unnatural. The foods we eat are laden with many chemicals and our environment is plagued with many pollutants such as pesticides, petrochemical agents and herbicides. Even if you go totally organic and move to a low pollution area, chances are you will still be somewhat exposed to them. And the fact is, some of these chemicals and pollutants can actually increase your belly fat.
You have to be wary of a type of chemicals called xenoestrogens. They are found almost anywhere in our modern world such as in the foods we eat, our environment, in household cleaners as well as cosmetics. If you ask me, it is close to impossible to avoid xenoestrogens.
The next question you need to ask is what is the effect of xenoestrogens on our bodies?
The simple answer is that xenoestrogens stimulate our bodies to keep the belly fat. Now over time, the belly fat accumulates and we get that fat belly.
So what can we gather from our arsenal of defenses to guard against these attack of xenoestrogens?
Fortunately there is a simple solution to fight off the effects of xenoestrogens and burn the belly fat off. The answer lies in us consuming certain foods such as some types of teas, vegetables and spices. These foods have the ability to counteract xenoestrogens\’ effects. But if you ask me, one of the best fighters are cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, brussel sprouts, bok choy, broccoli, kale and cauliflower.
Now these cruciferous vegetables are excellent fighters. They contain a wonderful unique compound called phytonutrients and one in particular called Indole-3-Carbinole (I3C). Indole-3-Carbinole helps you to burn belly fat quickly and more effectively which thus reverses the effects of xenoestrogens. And add to that is the fact that Indole-3-Carbinole also has powerful anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties and help keep your heart healthy.
This further goes to show how important vegetables are if we want to have great health.
So go ahead and add these vegetables to your daily diet and burn belly fat faster than ever before.
