In a new study, a group of specialists proved that with regular consumption of vegetables and fruits, in which, as is known, flavonoids (natural compounds) are contained, weight naturally normalizes.
A team of nutritionists, together with specialists from Harvard University, conducted a large-scale study in which several diets were studied, including different subclasses of flavonoids, all compared to medical data from more than 120,000 people who lived in the United States. For more than 20 years, scientists have come to the conclusion that some fruits help to effectively remove extra pounds and keep your weight under control.
By the way, scientists are not the first time to prove the benefits of flavonoids, but earlier studies were focused mainly on compounds that are present in green tea (this drink is recommended for everyone, but especially for those who want to get rid of extra pounds and control their weight).
But in the new study, scientists especially distinguished the antioxidants that are present in vegetables and fruits, according to scientists they contain anthocyanins, flavonols and other compounds that are no less useful to the figure and health.
As a result of new research, scientists recommend that anyone who wants to reduce their weight, change their diet - do not necessarily exhaust yourself with hunger, you just need to add to your menu certain fruits, namely apples, pears, oranges, and blueberries and strawberries are recognized as the main sources useful natural compounds.
By the way, in a recent study of American specialists, the use of a pear for weight loss was also noted. As the results showed, only one pear per day will help a person get rid of extra pounds. To such conclusions, scientists came after a large-scale nine-year study.
Throughout the experiment, scientists watched the weight of people - one part of the participants daily used pears, the other part did not eat them at all or ate very rarely.
The purpose of the experiment was to show clearly that eating pears is useful not only for health, but for the figure. In the end, the experiment was successful - a group of volunteers who ate pears daily, looked slimmer than the other participants in the study, in addition, they did not even have a tendency to obesity.
According to scientists, daily consumption of pears helps to reduce weight - people in whose diet each day there is this fruit, have a better chance of normalizing their weight, in addition, pears are a kind of prevention of obesity.
It is worth to clarify that to reduce weight and prevent obesity, only fresh pears are suitable. Dried fruits, jam, steamed fresh fruit, etc. Are just a tasty dessert and will not help improve the figure.
According to experts in the pear contains specific fibers, which prevent the appearance of extra pounds, but the result will be really effective if you eat fresh pears every day.
