What Are Fat Burning Superfoods?

What are the 5 fat burning superfoods?

Fat burning superfoods not only are rich in nutrients, they also enhance weight loss. This happens through the action of micro-nutrients and antioxidants they contain.

Some of the best-known 5 fat burning superfoods are:

• broccoli

• chia seeds

• eggs

• sweet potatoes

• bell peppers

These fat burning superfoods work to keep off extra pounds by a combination of effects.

Berries are among the BEST superfoods

Bell peppers have a high water content and are low on calories, which brings down your daily calorie intake. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, which slows down absorption of dietary sugars.

Eggs are rich in protein that satiates hunger and takes longer to digest. Chia seeds have fiber that absorbs water to make a gel that regulates appetite. And micronutrients in broccoli intensify the use of fat as a source of energy.

Other fat burning superfoods include kale, avocado, blueberries, spinach, oats, chickpeas and yoghurt.

Which is the best superfood for brain?

Some superfoods have been linked to better brain function.

Although you cannot completely prevent structural and functional brain changes due to aging, you can potentially slow down cognitive decline through a superfood diet.

A healthy and balanced diet made up of vegetables and fruits, along with legumes and whole grains - in other words, 'brain superfoods' - can preserve memory and judgment while delaying the onset of dementia.

It's no surprise that the best superfood for brain function preservation are the ones that also protect your blood vessels and heart. Fatty fish like salmon, cod and tuna, all kinds of edible berries, green leafy vegetables, walnuts and coffee can provide micro-nutrients that protect cells against inflammation.

Long standing low-grade inflammation is responsible for a host of harmful effects on the body, leading to heart disease, strokes, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Superfoods can dull their impact and boost your overall health.

Fruits are excellent superfoods.

What fruit is a heart-healthy superfood?

Among superfoods deemed to improve heart health, there's a fruit that is heart-healthy.

Berries have been linked to heart health by several studies. This is especially true of blueberries and strawberries. These fruits are rich in anthocyanin, a compound known to be related to lesser blood pressure and which has been considered protective to blood vessels.

While there's no consensus about it, some have recommended consuming berries thrice a week to enjoy the highest benefits of this heart-healthy superfood.

But a word of caution is in place here. Just because berries are good for your heart doesn't mean you can eat a plateful of blueberry muffins, for instance.

Baked goods and pastries usually include added sugar as well as processed fat like butter. And those are extremely harmful to your heart.

So eat fresh berries if you want to reap rich rewards from this heart healthy superfood.
