Natural Fat Burner FoodsPosted by Shivani Sikri on October 29th, 2019 LONG LIFE TO "BURN FAT" FOODS! Did you ever, during a chat with friends, hear things like "after lunch as a fruit I eat pineapple because it burns fat!" Or "I eat pasta with chili because it speeds up the metabolism!" ??
But things are not like that! In fact, these foods that we call "fat burners" are not that they burn fats directly, but they are foods that, present in a balanced diet, where there is also a modest portion of physical activity, favor their consumption, speed up metabolism, improve the sensitivity of our body towards insulin, give fast satiety and purify the body thanks to their slimming and purifying properties. In practice they help prevent most of what constitutes our meals from being turned into fatty tissue. Now you may ask, what are these foods then? Let's see the main ones in detail: The Pineapple is one of the fat burning foods par excellence. This is due to the presence of bromelain, an enzyme capable of breaking down proteins and long chain fats. Thanks to this substance, in fact, the ingested proteins are "fragmented" in our stomach, digestion is facilitated and the assimilation of fats is slowed down, as these are easily dissolved, transmitted into the bloodstream and then eliminated. The pineapple is made up of 80% water it brings very few calories (so it is recommended in low-calorie diet) and also has a strong anti-cellulite power, in fact, thanks to its diuretic and draining effect, it is able to fight water retention that afflicts us women so much. The CHILLI PEPPER is another food that deserves the primacy of "fat burners"! In addition to having disinfectant, antibacterial and aphrodisiac properties, it is also a natural remedy to reduce the sense of hunger and burn calories in a healthy way, thus proving to be a precious ally for those who find it hard to lose weight. How does it work? Capsaicin, the substance contained in the plant, is responsible for the typical effect of the burning mouth and has a thermogenic effect that can increase the level of calories burned by our body. Chilli, then, making foods spicy, leads us to consume them more slowly, making us feel satiated first. Obviously it can be used to flavor food, but do not overdo it, since excessive use would ruin the food and even the palate, so watch out for the doses. Furthermore, using it on dishes also helps to use less salt, which is one of those responsible for water retention and should be limited as much as possible.
The CINNAMON : according to some scientific studies have properties that help to reduce levels of blood sugar and, consequently, the accumulation of fat.

Cinnamon is also an excellent digestive that eliminates flatulence, thus avoiding abdominal distension. However, the benefits of cinnamon to lose weight exceed its specific weight loss properties. In fact, cinnamon can calm eating anxiety. The GREEN TEA : it is like a precious gem: it contains polyphenols, catechins, flavonoids such as quercetin, alkaloids such as caffeine, theophylline and theobromine, vitamins, such as C, E, Bl and K, cholesterol-lowering saponins, minerals and trace elements such as zinc, potassium and magnesium, with remarkable diuretic effects. The antioxidants of green tea (flavonoids and in particular catechins) are able to prevent, in addition to repairing, the damage caused by free radicals, the first responsible for aging and loss of skin tone. It is a great Friend of the line: the catechins contained in green tea, in fact, favor the elimination of liquids and combined with theine stimulate the metabolism.
