4. Tomato has lycopene, an antioxidant that helps regulate cholesterol and fight cancer. What are your real health properties?
Lycopene is a natural dye found in many vegetables and fruits, but particularly abundant in tomatoes and in all foods to which it is used as main ingredient, such as fried, tomato sauce or ketchup. It is a chemical family of carotenoids with potent antioxidant that is eliminated or neutralized very active substances such as free radicals, preventing damage to cells. This antioxidant effect has that relates to the decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and also with decreased risk of cancer, particularly prostate cancer.

5. Pineapple: Is it true that your bromelinala content make it ideal for fluid loss and combat cellulite?
Bromelain is a protein with enzymatic activity, ie, when consumed helps to digest dietary protein. In addition, anti-inflammatory properties are attributed, although further studies are needed to corroborate this effect. Thus, bromelain does not affect the diuresis or fluid loss, nor to cellulite, although in effect is an inflammation of the skin. However, the potassium content of the pineapple makes a diuretic, encouraging the body’s water balance.

6. Papaya: Contains a substance called papain which has properties similar to bromelain. Is papaya a suitable food to lose weight?
As I have said before, the weight loss plans should contain foods low energy density, and papaya is. Moreover, its papain content, in fact a substance similar to bromelain, by its effect on dietary protein, facilitates digestion. The papaya can be incorporated into the fad diet, so to enhance the diversity of food, within a range where it is necessary to exclude any food group.

In summary, both fruits and vegetables are the best tools to detoxify the body and lose weight. Increase your intake, and combine evenly with the remaining food, we will ensure medium-term effective results. The vice president of the Spanish Association of Dietitians, Nutritionists, Manuel McAllister says that “losing body fat is not easy. It is true that with a manageable weight loss plan, led by a dietitian-nutritionist can reach sensible goals, but we forget that the best way to lose weight is not winning it.

That is, consistency. “We take care of our daily diet, without obsessions, but not with dropouts eventually converting our health bill,” concluded Manuel Monino. The balance, as always, is key to a happy and healthy eating.

In general, fruits and vegetables and regular intake of water, will serve to eliminate saturated fats from our bodies and to recover gradually, the nutritional balance they need. McAllister Manuel Gomez, vice president of the Spanish Association of Dietitians-Nutritionists (AE DN), ensures that the key to achieving optimal ‘detox’ is to “return to normal feed, ie to the diet varied, balanced and sufficient” . We also proposed the following recommendations:
* Ensure the daily intake of fruits and vegetables fresh and varied, at least five per day, both at lunch and dinner.
* Drink plenty of fluids, primarily water, vegetable broth or fruit juices.
* They should not miss lean meats, eggs and fish, bread, preferably whole grain, legumes, and semi or skimmed milk.
* Most importantly, spread the food throughout the day, not skipping breakfast (bread, milk and fruit), a mid-morning light fruit, lunches and dinners, low-fat and high in foods of plant origin, with small portions of meat, eggs or fish.

When they reach the typical diets seasons (September and October after the summer, and especially January and February, after Christmas) hit the media, all sorts of miracle diets that help us lose weight and recover quickly Figure again after the holidays, especially those that rely on a single food, the diet of the artichoke, pineapple, etc.. While it is true that there are products that can help us ’scouring’ the body, it is more a matter of individual food habits.

“The weight loss is achieved by feeding schemes varied, balanced and tailored to each person,” said Manuel Monino. Nutrition expert would emphasize that diets “should contain all the food groups, without exception, but must override those of low energy density such as fruits and vegetables, cooking techniques that require little fat in addition, the distribution adequacy of food throughout the day, water as a main drink and of course, increased daily physical activity as a necessary complement.

Very healthy products

Although we’ve talked about that a healthy diet is one that includes all foods in the diet, there are some products that are known for their detoxifying, diuretic and even degreaser. The protagonists of this story is the artichoke, zucchini, mushrooms, tomato, papaya and pineapple. Manuel McAllister explains what is true and false in each of these supposed ‘miracle food’.

1. Artichokes: Can we consider it a food purifier? What drug has to be considered as such?
The artichoke is a vegetable rich in fiber and substances like cinarina with stimulating properties of the gallbladder, liver protective and diuretic and digestive substances. Given its composition, can indeed be regarded as a food purifier to favor the functioning of the liver, detoxifying the body real body, besides favoring the elimination of waste substances through the urine and bile. Moreover, the inulin content, helps digestion and settlement of desirable intestinal flora, ie has prebiotic effect.

2. Courgettes: they are low-calorie and diuretics, but is usually combined with fatty products. How can we cook them to avoid it?
It is low energy density foods with diuretic properties, which share with most vegetables. Preparations with low fat content, go through the grill, steam, baked or boiled. Thus, if we use them to garnish the cooked sliced grilled, or sautéed with some garlic, as a first course if we make a cream with potatoes, onions or leeks and a good extra virgin olive oil, or steamed and stuffed with other vegetables, boiled egg or tuna, etc.. Or as a second form of scrambled egg, among the multiple forms of consumption.

Lose weight by drinking tea? Is it real or is it another one of those fables that our money from the pockets correct? It is real and it still works, but under certain conditions. You can use tea as part of losing weight. because of course the industry is trying as much as possible to our weak points to win, so keep your head there.

Some people with a life spent trying to obtain an acceptable them. People who can eat anything without something of weight to get to understand nothing. “Just do not eat greasy now” they often think and now they go beyond themselves to everything without having to have very real. Why should they? But for someone who is overweight is not always “wrong or less healthy food” because sometimes it seems like they have a glass of water arrive. And these people are often victims of promising signs and spend a lot of money to various funds that promise that they’re finally going to achieve that goal weight.

In the first instance it is yet again to change your diet, that’s he gene that you, you should concern. First ensure that you will find healthy food really tasty and all those ‘nice’ things like snacks, chips, biscuits, chocolate, sausage rolls and I know what not go as something disgusting. If you, you go involved in healthy food than there are naturally very many things off, things that ensure that you arrives.

While of you to use something that naturally increases the health of your weight goes down, just because the purification works or because it has a diuretic effect. Tea is one of those resources and I mean in this case the famous Pu Erh tea is available in health food stores and organic stores.
