Research by scientists confirms that some products help a person not only to improve their health and maintain youth and beauty, but also to lose a few kilograms.
- Avocado
The once exotic plant can now be purchased at any supermarket. Despite the fact that avocado is saturated with fats, it is easily absorbed by the body, causing a feeling of satiety, without affecting weight. In addition, this fruit is rich in vitamins that have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair growth.
- Apples
This fruit is a wonderful combination of vitamins and microelements, which is optimal for the human body. 2-3 apples a day will replenish the daily norm of iron, vitamins B and G, and will not cause the slightest harm to the figure.
- Millet
It does not contribute to weight gain, like most of the side dishes we are used to. A small portion is very filling, and the high silicon content in such porridge helps to restore and renew the skin.
- Kiwi
They perfectly satisfy hunger and are ideal for a light snack during the day. Just one piece of this fruit eaten per day and in just a few weeks you will notice significant improvements in your skin – it will become firm, velvety and elastic.
- Cabbage
It is very useful both raw and pickled. Nutritionists highly recommend including cabbage in your daily diet. It improves the digestive system and helps to speed up the burning of fat cells.
- Champignons
It turns out that champignons are rich in pantothenic acid and selenium, which fight wrinkles and help keep your skin healthy and radiant. However, you shouldn't overuse these mushrooms. Ideally, it's best to eat mushrooms 2-3 times a week, 100 grams each - dried or pickled. This will be enough to saturate your body with nutrients.
- Seafood
If you are on a diet and can't get rid of thoughts about meat, try replacing it with seafood. Mussels, squid, shrimp and octopus are dietary food containing a lot of minerals and microelements that are difficult to find in other products.
- Cheese
The most important thing is to choose the right type of cheese and then you can afford 50-100 grams of this product. Rennet fats are exactly what you need, they do not affect weight loss and therefore you can safely eat them during a diet. When going to the store, take a closer look at varieties such as Maasdam, Gouda, Feta and Parmesan.
- Nuts
Especially walnuts. They contain the largest amount of vitamin E, which has properties that remove free radicals from the body, which negatively affect the condition of the skin. Although nuts are somewhat heavy for the digestive system, nutritionists still recommend eating at least a few pieces 1-2 times a week.
- Pineapple
A real treasure trove of all kinds of microelements and vitamins. The enzyme bromelain, contained in pineapples, is a formidable enemy of fats. Eat pineapple at least twice a week, it will help get rid of cellulite, help quickly cope with extra pounds, and will also be an excellent preventative measure against various diseases.
