(Newswire.net — December 16, 2015) — Food is a constant concern of all the people. It is very important to avoid fast food, greasy food and salt in large quantities. Having no time to eat healthy is no longer an excuse, because these 12 kinds of food are in every store and all people have to do is to put them on their shopping list.
Here they are:
Grapefruit
It is full of vitamin C which helps the metabolism work properly, meaning to burn fat fast. If it is consumed regularly (and just one half of it would be enough), or if it is taken half an hour before you eat breakfast, your body will feel satisfied and it will not want more food than it needs.
Black Pepper
There is a very powerful substance in black pepper called piperine. It is well known for stopping fat cells forming in the body and increasing your metabolism.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon powder lowers sugar levels in blood and lowers your appetite, but if possible, it is better to buy Ceylon cinnamon because it doesn’t have Coumarin, an ingredient which can harm the liver.
Eggs
Eggs are very low in calories and also contain protein (7grams) and if they are consumed for breakfast they stop the body from intaking large amount of calories during the day. However, they should not be used on a daily basis because of cholesterol in the yolk.
Apples
Fruit is generally good and is a great substitute for processed sugar. The fiber and water in the apple skin are quite helpful when it comes to the body’s need for sweet things.
Green tea
Green tea is a hero in all battles with fat. It contains phytochemical catechins which increases metabolism speed. It is best consumed hot, with lemon and honey, which are also very beneficial for the body.
Blueberries
They are only 40 calories (half a cup serving), they are full of fiber and antioxidans. However, it is much better to eat them in a salad than baked in muffins or pancakes.
Almonds
23 almonds are enough to satisfy the body. They have heart healthy fats, protein and fiber. Almonds are a good snack and they are not expensive, they can fit into a purse or a pocket and can be carried anywhere.
Chilies
Chilies are hot in every way and above all healthy because of capsaicin, which lowers your appetite. there are many variations of chilies, but habenerous, jalapenos and cayenne peppers would be great choices.
Coffee
According to many recent studies, caffeine also increases metabolism, but only if it’s not mixed with cream or sugar, which is what people normally do. 1-3 cups a day is more than enough to have an effect on your metabloism.
Quinoa
This is a good carbohydrate, unlike many others, because it is low in the glycemic index and doesn’t make you want more sugar or other carbohydrates.
And last but not least important are, Vegetables.
Vegetables are usually avoided, which is the opposite of what we should do. Vegetables are very nutritious and full of fiber. A popular way of consuming them is blended (not juiced) into a smoothie.
These foods are something everyone should incorporate into their diets. They are readily available, cost friendly and tasty and they don’t take much preparation. So, follow this nutritional advice and live a healthy life.
