Yesterday you read about seven tips that "beautify your belly", according to Glamour Magazine. As it turns out, there are specific foods that actually slim your stomach and foods that do the opposite (usually foods high in sodium and/or sugars). Here they are:
Belly Friendly
Blueberries are linked to less abdominal fat.
Asparagus helps get rid of water weight.
Salmon promotes digestion.
Watermelon nixes water weight.
Citrus Fruits aid digestion.
Belly Inflating

Alcohol increases belly fat.
Soy Sauce is loaded with sodium and increases water weight.
Canned Soups are notoriously high in sodium.
Popcorn is an airy food that pooches out your stomach.
Dried Fruit is high in fiber but loaded with sugar.
Is there anything on these lists that surprise you? Any snacks on here that you love?
I love asparagus and salmon, so I'm super excited. Will plan on eating more, and adding watermelon for dessert!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, popcorn and I are best friends... Happily, though, watermelon and blueberries are my pals as well!
