WINTER SLIMMING DIET: QUICK TIPS
1) Prefer citrus fruits as a fruit to be consumed during the day, but substitute a ripe banana, rich in potassium, for sweets and morning snacks.
2) Alternate the consumption of pasta and rice with whole grains such as oats, and pseudocereals such as buckwheat: they are more digestible and have flavonoids that are very useful for the imminutary system
3) Make a small snack based on walnuts, Brazilian nuts, macadamia nuts or almonds:Â these oil seeds have a good profile of fatty acids between polyunsaturated and good saturated, and are rich in mineral salts which we risk a deficiency, such as for example zinc.
4) Substitute normal sugar sources not good quality honey:a natural prebiotic that can help regulate the intestinal flora.
5) Prefer garlic, crucifers, watercress, green leafy vegetables such as chicory, wild bitter vegetables: they help the liver, reduce the action of free radicals, have prebiotic virtues. They must not be missing in our weekly cart!
6) Yes to spices such as turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves: the first two have an anti-inflammatory effect, the latter a hypoglycemic effect. Try golden milk for example.
Last but not least: coconut oil and coconut milk. Saturated medium-chain fats promote thermogenesis, i.e. they stimulate the process by which the body burns more heat and regulates body temperature better.
