I was reading some interesting information from Mike Geary, certified nutrition specialist about the benefits of specific vegetables in relation to belly fat. Cruciferous vegetables help fight against stomach fat. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, bok choy, cabbage, etc. contain very specific and unique phytonutrients.
This class of vegetables fight against xenoestrogens which can increase belly fat. Xenoestrogens are harmful chemicals that can force your body to hold onto belly fat. These are chemicals that we are exposed to everyday. They are certain chemicals found in our food supply and environment like pesticides, herbicides, household cleaners, plastics, cosmetics, etc.that can react to the hormones and make the body store excess abdominal fat.
I guess that my mom was right when she said it is important to eat your vegetables. It is very important to burning belly fat that we add some of these vegetables to our diet everyday. You can be creative with these vegetables and add some melted cheese, garlic, and light olive oil to make them really taste great. I love eating broccoli and cauliflower raw with avocado dip. It is also beneficial to add them to your salad or steam them with your fish. I also add them to my omelets and pizza. If you like broccoli and looking for a new way to enjoy this great vegetable be sure to visit the recipe page for my moms broccoli salad. It is great to be able to enjoy tasty vegetables and burn belly fat at the same time.
