Doing exercise is one of the key factors for
keeping a fit and healthy body, but stop blaming yourself for not going to the
gym. Why? The answer is that more than 85% of the results come from what you
eat.
Here are
some tips to help jump start your weight loss without doing a single leg lift.
Consume ginger in capsule form
6-gingerol,
an active ingredient of the ginger root can enhance your metabolism and heat up
your body to help burn fat. It also helps flush out toxins from your body while
improving the blood circulation. In addition, it suppresses the excess cortisol
levels, which increase belly fat and weight gain, and aids digestion that in
turn benefit you with losing weight more easily. Take one 500mg capsule a day.
Eat two to four apples daily
According to
a recent study in Food Chemistry, apples can keep some extra pounds away
because apples contain non-digestible compounds- fiber and polyphenols- which
act as food for friendly bacteria and help your body outweigh the bad bacteria
that thrive on junk food. In addition, apples also contain a water-binding
substance named pectin, which helps all the body cells limit the amount of
absorbed fat.
Add cinnamon to your diet
A compound
called hydroxychalcone present in this potent spice aids your body in
preventing sugar from being transformed into fat. Sprinkle cinnamon on fruits
such as apples and add a teaspoon to a glass of warm milk.
Eat a lot of citrus fruits
Citrus
fruits including oranges, lemons and grapefruit are a rich source of vitamin C,
which works by dissolving accumulated fats in order to dispel them out of the
body. Eat three kinds of citrus fruit every day.
Add cayenne pepper to your food
This chili
pepper includes a compound named capsaicin, which burns fat by enhancing
metabolism and heating up the whole body, creating a thermodynamic burn that
may last for many hours after eating. Add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper
powder to your dishes.
