Vegetables are the staple food and starch is the side dish
Today I want to talk to you about why you need to eat a lot of vegetables to lose weight? In fact, not only those who want to lose weight or need to lose weight, we should all eat more vegetables!
First, let me give you an idea
"Vegetables are the staple food, starch is the side dish"!
Increasing the amount of vegetables on your plate will not only help you eat healthily, but also help you lose weight, because
Obesity is chronic inflammation. If you want to lose weight, you must first reduce inflammation, and the phytochemicals in vegetables have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Human metabolism requires the participation of vitamins, and the main source of vitamins is vegetables.
Vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent indigestion and constipation.
The soluble fiber in vegetables can remove fat and help lower blood cholesterol.
Vegetables are low in calories, so you don’t have to worry about high calories if you eat them in large amounts.
A patient shared with me that she stir-fries green vegetables with water, which is less oily and still delicious. I think this method is great, so I recommend it to everyone: put a little water in the wok, when the water is about to boil, put the vegetables in and stir-fry for two or three minutes, then add some virgin olive oil and sea salt, stir, and then you can cook! It tastes just like frying it with oil and is very delicious. The key point is that it is low in calories and healthier!
From today on, when you get home from get off work, don’t habitually walk into convenience stores. Instead, consciously go to the supermarket to buy a few vegetables to cook at home.
