Consuming These 3 Vegetables Will Help You Lose Fat

By Mike Grason


Are you looking to lose stomach fat? Did you know there are vegetables that will specifically help you lose fat on this area of the body. Sound too good to be true?

If you want to try this wild, idea simply read below.

First, one fact that you may have not realized is that there are certain chemicals in our food supply and in our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and petrochemicals that have an estrogenic effect inside our bodies. This problem can increase belly fat on both men and women, so pay attention.

Chemicals of this nature are referred to as xenoestrogens and come to the body from water, food and the environment. This is one factor that can encourage the body to hold onto belly fat. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to avoid all contact with these chemicals, even if you live in relatively low pollution areas and eat organic foods you are going to come into contact with xenostrogens. Even your cosmetics and household cleaners.

This leaves one very important questions. How do you avoid xenoestrogens so that you can actually lose stomach fat?

This is where those specific vegetables we talked about earlier come into play.

There are many classes of vegetables, teas, spices, etc that have compounds which can help to fight against the effects of xenoestrogens. However, the most powerful class of vegetables are cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.

Cruciferous vegetables such as those mentioned contain a substance known as phytonutrients. These are unique compounds like indole-3-carbinol and are very handy at fighting xenoestrogens. When you need an effective way to lose stomach, fat phytonutrients are very helpful.

If you need another reason to eat more cauliflower and broccoli now you can add the ability to lose fat around your stomach.

Another important benefit you will reap from this class of vegetables is their antioxidant properties, which as you know fight all forms of cancer.

With many cancers on the rise in our country we must do what we can to fight against all the environmental exposure from chemicals that harm our bodies.

If you want to lose stomach fat quickly and effectively, it is a good idea to add these sources of unique compounds, which fight xenoestrogens. There are creative meal ideas, which will make it easier to add these vegetables into your diet. Not only will you lose fat but feel better as your overall health improves.
