Getting Rid Of That Belly Flab

By changing some simple things in your diet, besides exercise, there are a few easy things you can do to help control the unsightly belly flab. In particular there are five food items that will help make a real difference.

Eggs are one of the highest quality sources of protein, with the healthiest part being the yolk, full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (such as glutein). Eggs are one of nature's greatest gifts, but use eggs from free-ranges roaming hens where possible.

In terms of a ratio of fat calories to total calories nut are around 75-90% fat. However, with high levels of nutrition such as minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, they are full of healthy fats. They are also a fabulous source of protein and fibre. Nuts also help the control of blood sugar.

Berries are packed with vitamins and minerals and a powerhouse of nutrition, being one of the top sources of antioxidants. They also have a healthy dose of fiber, which slows down your carbohydrate absorption and digestion rate. Besides that they control your blood sugar levels, which aid in the prevention of insulin spikes (which can stimulate fat gain).

Generally avocadoes are seen as a 'fatty food.' The truth is its all healthy fats. Not only is this fruit full of vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients and antioxidants, it is super-high in healthy monounsaturated fat. They're also a wonderful source of fibre.

In spite of the bad publicity red meat has been given over the years, red meat from healthy animals makes for good eating. Red meat is a top source of protein along with vitamins and minerals. Organic red meat is even better, as there are no hidden unwanted additives lurking there.

Some foods are definitely better not eaten at all, in the interests of the tummy flab.

Sharon Graham, a life and wellness coach says "There are two so called health foods that are not health foods at all. One is whole grains, which includes whole grain bread, pasta, muffins and more. The other is processed soy products".

Keep away from all processed foods as much as possible. It's all those extra additives that create the difference.

A few of the main benefits of living in Vanuatu, a tropical island in the South Pacific, are that avocadoes hang from the trees in the hundreds in season and all the meat is organically grown. Is it any wonder Vanuatu was named the Happiest Country on Earth?
