Vegetables That Fight Abdominal Fat

A unique way that a few specific vegetables can actually stimulate the burning of abdominal fat...

(article by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist)

Flat six pack,I bet you didn't know that there is a specific class of vegetables that contain very specific phyto nutrients that actually help to fight against stubborn belly fat.

Certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can react with your body and make your body store excess abdominal fat.

These chemicals are known as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you are exposed to (and are hard to avoid in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body. Excess exposure to these can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with many other problems (including cancer risks in the long term).

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc. contain very specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds...

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this is just 1 more step in helping you to win the battle against abdominal fat!

Another (good) excuse to do what Mum always told you and eat more broccoli!

PS. In particular, I like to eat steamed Brussels Sprouts with some pepper or muscat powder over it!

Can we eat to prevent or starve cancer ?

Cancer, obesity ... what should we eat to prevent it?

Resveratrol (red wine), Lycopene (cooked tomatoes), blueberries ... funny...I seem to read this also in the book of Genesis.
