Did you know that belly fat is one of the most harmful forms of fat???
Belly fat indicates that your cortisol levels (the stress hormone that increases aging and all kinds of health problems) are way too high.
Fortunately, a dedicated lifestyle change of moderate exercise (as simple as walking 10,000 steps a day) and eating the right foods will significantly lower cortisol levels.
Here are five foods that are proven to help target belly fat and boost the immune system:
1. Grass-fed Beef
Grass-fed beef has more levels of CLA ( A fatty acid shown to stimulate weight loss naturally) than grain-fed beef, and it’s super-rich in fat-burning Omega-3 fatty acid.2. Green and Black Tea
Thanks to its naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoids, tea cuts cortisol levels in the blood and gives a sense of relaxation. Drink tea before meals, and you will eat less.
3. Avocado
Spread on the guacamole. Avocado is loaded with monounsaturated fat that is proven to reduce inflammation that leads to belly fat.
Ohhhhh yea... Hello skinny jeans. |
4. Full-fat dairy
Whole fat dairy such as yogurt and cheese are high in antioxidants, vitamins B2 and B12, and protein and calcium. The protein lactium has a calming effect by lowering blood pressure, while the potassium in milk can help relieve muscle spasms triggered by feeling tense. A lot of low-fat dairy has nutrition pulled out, and sugar added.
5. Kiwi
Who knew?! Kiwi contains a significant amount of omega 3’s. Studies have shown that when two kiwi fruits are eaten an hour before bedtime, it may improve sleep quality and duration without the side effects of sleeping pills.
