It Only Takes a Spoonful of These Items to Lose Weight
Taking care of our bodies is all about
small, incremental steps. If you want to start on a healthier path in
life, or boost your already-healthy one, the best way to do that is to
introduce little changes to your diet and activity. To help facilitate
those changes, especially when we want to lose weight, there are a
number of super-substances that make you healthier and help you lose
weight quickly and safely. Just a spoonful of these a day can work
wonders:
1. For much needed antioxidants and vitamins: a spoonful of thyme
When we're trying to get healthy, it's
important to find substances that are both chock-full of benefits, while
at the same time aren't repulsive to our sense of taste. Thyme is a
perfect example of an herb you can cook with or add to a beverage like
tea. It's often coupled with lean chicken or turkey breast. Thyme will
enhance the flavor of these simple proteins while adding a boatload of
antioxidants, as well as helping you lose weight.
Thyme is not only tasty, but contains many of the antioxidants, minerals
and vitamins your body's cells need to stay protected from damage and
the stress of losing weight. In addition, it's a diuretic, which will
help release stored up water weight and flush out toxins. What's not to
love?
2. For a balanced blood sugar level: a spoonful of apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has many uses, not only
around the house but also for the body, both on the outside as well as
in. By adding a teaspoonful of it to a 12 ounce glass of water you'll be
adding a great array of nutrients in addition to quenching your thirst.
It will also help keep your blood sugar levels in check.
3. For proper digestion: a spoonful of raw organic honey
Honey, namely unprocessed honey, has many
antioxidants and important enzymes that boost our health. Sadly, these
are stripped away from most honey brands found worldwide when raw honey
is made into processed honey. Raw, organic honey provides the body with
thousands of different digestive enzymes that have a significant effect
on our digestive system. When you look for this honey, make sure it says
both raw and organic on its label.
Making sure your digestive system is in great working order really helps
the body lose weight, and these enzymes can help you do it.
4. To suppress the appetite: a spoonful of coconut oil
Coconut oil has been heralded as incredibly
helpful for weight loss. It's funny, because it has a relatively high
level of saturated fat, but it's not the bad kind, and it also contains
many healthy fats that our body requires. The fatty acids will help you
feel full while your metabolism actually increases so you naturally burn
fat. You can read more about the great uses of coconut oil right here.
5. To help with weight loss: a spoonful of ginger
This is a spice that targets fat
specifically, not just boosts weight loss. That's important because,
when losing weight, you want to know you're burning excess fat and not
just water weight. Just a teaspoon or tablespoon of ginger added to a
dish will give you the benefits you need from it. It can add some spice
to a bowl of chili or soup, and even add a kick to your smoothie.
Ginger works in two ways. The first is that it improves your digestion,
which promotes weight loss. The second is by boosting your natural
metabolic rate, which means you'll be burning more calories per hour -
leading to weight loss.
6. For a double-shot of antioxidants: a spoonful of turmeric
Turmeric is usually used in Indian cuisine,
especially in curry. It is known for its bright yellow/orange color and
has a distinct flavor. It also contains an active ingredient called
curcumin, which holds incredible health benefits.
A spoonful of turmeric (or better yet, a spoonful of curcumin powder)
will add many antioxidants to your system, burn fat, help your heart and
blood flow, and is an incredible agent in the fight against disease and
infection, as well as being an anti-inflammatory agent. Add it to lean
meats to enhance both flavor and health.
7. For essential omega-3: a spoonful of flaxseed
Flax not only helps you feel full until
your next meal, it also contains fiber - just what you need to help you
lose weight. And flaxseeds are full of fiber. You'll be surprised at how
much better you feel with these in your system.
Omega-3 reduces the amount of dangerous fats in your blood, lowers
depression (or boosts the performance of anti-depressants), has
anti-inflammatory properties, helps with asthma and helps to prevent
cognitive degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia.
8. To boost the immune system: a spoonful of lemon juice
Known for its astringent properties as a
cleaning product, this same power that lemons have to clean can also
help you lose weight, feel good and be healthier.
A spoonful of lemon juice added to some hot water first thing in the
morning, will give you a vitamin C boost that will carry you well
throughout the day, cleansing while energizing you. It does wonders for
your overall health and boosts your immune system to stay more active.
It also helps promote weight loss because vitamin C directs your body to
burn fat rather than store it.
9. For essential healthy fats: A spoonful of mashed avocado
Avocado is a refreshing and tasty fruit,
and, when added to a breakfast smoothie, can be an incredibly healthy
snack or garnish. Since it's soft, mashing it will make it very easy to
munch, and a spoonful will put you ahead on the amount of fiber you need
for the day. Avocado is filled with healthy fats that help you burn fat
faster and is packed with potassium, which is great when trying to lose
weight.
