Well, many people are not aware of a nutrient group that can not only do wonders for their overall good health, but also prove quite effective to get rid of excessive lard around your waist.
Yup, it’s right different fruits, vegetables, tea, chocolate and wine contain some compounds (flavonoids) that have antioxidant like effects and according to a study (followed up for 14 years), they can also prove very helpful to get rid of belly fat.
A new survey has been designed around studying how moms feel about including fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. This survey conducted between January 18 and January 22, 2008 in collaboration between ‘Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH)’ and the ‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’ in cooperation with other partners. They choose a sample of women between the ages of 24 and 41, all of whom had at least 1 child under18 living in their household out of which 1,000 women responded to this online survey.
Around 70% of the women expressed happiness and satisfaction after eating healthy foods like fruits or vegetables. Extra sweetened foods or food laced with extra saltiness and spices are likely to trigger negative emotions like sadness or stress. They felt the same after consuming salty snack foods and heavy foods like cheeseburgers and also found themselves ridden with a feeling of guilt after eating sweets.
The researchers when compared the results of the different responses of moms, found that majority of the proportion of the women were happier and felt good about their own selves after consuming generous portion of vegetables and fruits.
