I bet you didn't know that there is a certain class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that basically help to fight stubborn belly fat. Let me reveal what these unique veggies are and why they help to burn abdominal fat... Chemical compounds that pressure your body to hold onto abdominal fat: One thing you may have never heard about is that specific chemicals in our food supply and our surroundings, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, cosmetics, etc can react with the human body and make it store unwanted belly fat. These chemicals are known as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens are chemical substances that you are exposed to (and are hard to keep away from in the modern world) that have an estrogenic effect in your body. Unwanted exposure to these types of estrogens can cause hormone balance disruptions for both men and women. So these can wreak havoc in the body for both guys and gals. These estrogenic substances that we are exposed to on a daily basis can easily stimulate your body to store belly fat, along with various complications (which include cancer dangers in the future). So here is where this unique category of veggies is very helpful... One of those awesome methods that I show my clients that employ me for dietary guidance is the use of cruciferous vegetables to help fight against stomach fat. Cruciferous veggies such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, etc. consist of very distinct and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to neutralize these estrogenic compounds...
And by fighting against these kinds of belly fat stimulating estrogenic substances, this is just 1 more step in supporting you to win the struggle against stomach fat!
So here it is... just another reason to do what mom always told you and eat more broccoli! I've really learned to like brussels sprouts in the last year too... Melt a bit of grass-fed cheese on them and some garlic and they're great!
