if you've been unsuccessful in losing weight around your middle, listen up! these miracle-worker ingredients hold the power to truly transform your body and specifically target hard-to-lose and dangerous belly fat. the secret is their magical "mufas" pronounced moo fahz (aka mono-unsaturated fatty acids -- a healthy fat!). f.y.i.: no moo fahz in moo cheez. a recent study published in the journal diabetes care found that eating a diet high in mufas can help reduce accumulation of abdominal body fat. bear in mind: no other nutrient can do this. couple these fabulous foods with a reduced-calorie eating plan, 30 minutes of exercise a day, more or less, if you are physically able, and not only will you slim down, but you'll lose weight where you want to -- your belly, while increasing your brain strength, heart health and the planet's too.
peanut butter. a serving of mufa peanut butter has 3 mg of the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, 49 mg of bone-building magnesium, 208 mg of muscle-friendly potassium, and 0.17 mg of immunity-boosting vitamin B6. research shows that eating peanuts can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions.
olive oil. olive oil is the best all around for cooking and salads because it contains mostly mufas, which lower "bad" LDL cholesterol without affecting "good" HDL cholesterol. olive oil is also rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. the greener the oil, the more antioxidants, so go for extra-virgin.
sunflower seeds. sunflower seeds are packed with B vitamins and mufas, which play an important role in protecting against inflammation. they are also an excellent source of vitamin E. sunflower seeds are also great for curbing hunger.
almonds. the mufas and vitamin E in almonds work together to cut cholesterol. almonds are also a great source of vegetable protein and fiber.
avocado. avocados are a great source of heart-healthy mufas. these delectable green orbs also contain more of the cholesterol-smashing beta-sitosterol (a beneficial plant-based fat) than any other fruit. beta-sitosterol may reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food. the hass variety, grown principally in california, contains more mufas than the florida variety.
dark or semi-sweet chocolate chocolate or more specifically, cocoa powder made from ground, defatted cocoa beans -- contains compounds that have the potential to protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes and contains substantial amounts of antioxidants. dark chocolate -- not milk or white -- contains as much antioxidant capacity as red wine.
flaxseed oil flaxseed oil is the best plant source of omega-3 fatty acids and helps reduce systemic inflammation, which researchers believe may lead to heart disease, cancer and alzheimer's disease. flaxseed oil should never be heated, so use in salad dressings or smoothies or as a condiment drizzled
walnuts like seafood and flaxseed, walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect your heart and preserve brain health.
