You may have heard that green foods are a no-no if you want to shed some pounds, but this is not true for all green foods. As not every green food is loaded with fat related nutrients, rather some of them are a good diet for a diet plan.
Here is the list of few of these healthy green foods.
Avocados
Avocados offer a healthy quantity of belly fat-melting monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) as well as 20 vital nutrients, including fiber, potassium, Vitamin E, and folic acid. A recent study found that people who ate them frequently had more nutritious diets overall, ate less sugar, and had a lower BMI and waist circumference. A study found that participants who topped their burgers with a slice of Hass avocado had lower levels of inflammation and less reduction in blood flow than those who ate their burgers without it. Blend them to smoothies and you’ll also add body and creamy texture.
Green Cabbage
Often paired with corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day, fiber-filled green cabbage also goes nicely with a lean protein like chicken breasts, lean ground turkey, or tofu on the side. You heard right: Make this veggie the focus of your plate. It’s rich in fiber, vitamin C, folate, and manganese and you’ll fill up on the good stuff faster and be less likely to grab seconds or dessert.
Green Peppers
Green peppers are loaded with vitamin C, a powerful fat releaser. Studies show that people who have inadequate levels of C cling more tightly to fat, so chowing down on fruits and veggies rich in this vitamin can help coax your body into weight loss mode. Vitamin C also helps your body absorb iron so try tossing your peppers into mineral-rich dishes with beef, salmon, chicken, or spinach.
Limes
Choose limes that are firm and heavy for their size, with glossy skin and a deep green color. For a simple and healthy dessert, grate the rinds of two large limes and then mix with their juices, three cups of light coconut milk, and a half of cup of pure honey. Mix in a blender, pour in a bowl, and set in the freezer until frozen. Limes are also the easiest way to jazz up a glass of ice water or a light beer.
