Eating organic foods is key to optimal health.
Now that the warmer weather is here, most of us wish to shed extra pounds for a slimmer summer body.
The proper diet and exercise are the two most important factors for weight loss. You will reach your goals yet keep your energy.
Fresh and organic foods are packed with ingredients like dietary fiber that help you feel full so you eat less.
Let’s take a look at the best summer organic foods for weight loss.
Avocados:
Healthy fats are starting to gain popularity from nutrition experts who are learning that they may actually help with weight loss efforts.
According to a long-term study by scientists at Uppsala University in Sweden, polyunsaturated fats, like the ones found in avocados can lower overall body fat levels and can even help increase muscle mass.
Blueberries:
These potent little super foods may help reduce belly fat.
They are also a great source of dietary fiber and low in calories. A real win win.
Organic blueberries are in season during the summer.
Cucumbers:
They are a natural diuretic and have very high water content, making them great for flushing out toxins and keeping you hydrated during your weight loss efforts.
Organic cucumbers are 96% water.
They are also a good source of dietary fiber.
Figs:
Figs are an excellent source of dietary fiber, providing 14.6g per cup, which is 58% of the recommended daily value. Fiber facilitates digestion and helps us feel full, so we will eat less.
Make sure to get fresh figs while you can, because their season is short. However, dried figs are sold year around and have as many health benefits.
Grapes:
They are an ideal weight loss food, as they are low in calories and high in dietary fiber.
Limes:
They are high in pectin fiber, which helps suppress food cravings.
Fiber also helps the body eliminate waste products by cleansing and detoxifying it. By maintaining a more alkaline diet, you will lose weight faster.
Organic limes help regulate the body’s pH.
AS ALWAYS: Check with your health practitioner before you change your diet. These organic foods are not meant to replace any treatment or drugs you are taking.
