Enjoy "thin" zero-calorie food in spring

In spring, see what zero-calorie food is! If you want to lose weight, don't miss them!

Refined rice and white flour, refined salt, various processed foods... Such typical diets of modern people are gradually making our bodies more and more aging. We fill our hungry intestines with a large amount of food, but what we bring about is greater hunger in our body-nutrient deficiency.

So we swallowed all kinds of nutrient supplements with worry, we taught our children not to be picky about food, and we tried our best to cook delicious dishes with various ingredients. In fact, as long as you choose the right food, it will keep you full of energy, especially during the endless meal during the holidays. The New Year is here, and we need better food to give our bodies a new look.

Let me remind you that you may have been forgetting one of the most common anti-aging foods-spices. Every time you add spices to your food, it's no exaggeration to "upgrade" the nutrition of the food on your plate without adding a single calorie. Adding spices can add color, rich aroma, enrich vitamins and have medicinal effects to plain and ordinary foods.

The magical effect of spices:

Increase nutrient density

Spices and herbs contain antioxidants, minerals and multiple vitamins. At cocktail parties, choosing Thai Satay chicken strips is better than fried chicken slices.

Create hot meals

Spicy spices are not only rich in vitamins, but more importantly, they are also "hot" foods, which means that these spices naturally increase your metabolism.

increase satiety

Spices in food increase your feeling of fullness and satisfaction, so they can help you eat less. A study in the United States confirmed that if a person eats an appetizer containing half a teaspoon of red pepper slices before each meal, their energy intake can be reduced by 10 to 16%.

Medicinal effect

More than one study has confirmed the health benefits of different spices. For example, a 2003 study of 60 people with type 2 diabetes reported that eating just two teaspoons of cinnamon powder a day significantly lowered their blood sugar levels for six weeks. Cinnamon powder can also improve blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, perhaps because insulin plays an important role in regulating body fat.
