Increase Your Fat Burning Power More Every Day with Food

Your fat burning power can be improved upon if you feed your body the right selection of foods.

While garlic and onions may be a little stinky for your tastes, both of these powerhouse foods are excellent for your health. They are full of phytochemicals which break down fatty deposits that build up in the body. They also kill bacteria, viruses and fungi that threaten the body’s delicate system. Garlic and onions can break down cholesterol in the bloodstream and can fight against heart disease. Garlic and onions are a winning combination and also work just as well on their own. They fight fat and disease. Can you beat that power?

Speaking of phytochemicals, tomatoes contain both vitamin C as well as the phytochemical lycopene. Tomatoes support the development of an amino acid called carnitine. Carnitine is a fat burning powerhouse for sure! Research has shown that it speeds up the body’s ability to burn fat by as much as one-third of its capacity.

If you are not used to eating beans and legumes then it is time to begin! Legumes are one of the best sources of fiber of any food known to man and womankind. Not only do they keep your bowels working regularly and properly, but they also keep blood sugar at a normal level. Soy is a prime example of a food in this category that breaks down fat stores in the body.

Olives and olive oil are both composed of healthy (also known as monounsaturated) fats. Just like oatmeal, they both make the stomach feel fuller for a longer span of time and they reduce cravings for junk food. Yet another advantage of these foods is that they reduce blood pressure that has become too high.

Eating nuts that are raw and unsalted can give you an extra dose of essential fatty acids which can encourage the burning of fat. Nuts are very good for you in other ways as well. Did you know that they can lower your risk of having a heart attack by as much as 60 percent? They can.

The consumption of flax seeds and flax seed oil can attract oil-soluble toxins that find their way into the fatty tissues of the body and from there, help to get rid of fat-soluble toxins. This means that less fat will be stored in the body. Say bye bye to dreaded fat and hello to a thinner looking you!

Cayenne (or cayenne pepper as it is sometimes called) is a hot spice that is often referred to as a kind of natural antibiotic. Cayenne speeds up the process of metabolism and it lowers blood sugar in order that excess insulin will not be stored as fat. To burn more fat you might want to add cayenne to some of your favorite recipes.

So now you have it- an array of foods that have excellent fat burning potential for your body. You do not have to put up with lingering fat around your middle that serves no useful purpose whatsoever. Eat your way to a slimmer and trimmer you!
