Dr. William Li shared a number of common foods that can speed up your metabolism, burn belly fat, and help you live longer. Interestingly, we all have these foods in our kitchens.
Firstly, Dr. Li emphasized the difference between brown and white fats, highlighting that white fat is the “wiggly and jiggly” stuff around our middle that we might want to shed in the new year, and brown fat acts as more of an organ that plays a crucial part in our metabolism.
There are ways in which we can actually use our metabolism and food to be able to reduce this visceral fat.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain lycopene, which “lightens brown fat” and fights harmful fat.
“Fat can be seen as a perfectly healthy tissue that we need to have enough of. Now we have two colors of fat in our body, white fat, and brown fat,” the expert said.
Avocado
Avocados also have fat-fighting properties. An excellent source of dietary fiber.
Leafy greens
In particular, broccoli, as well as all types of leafy greens. These are vegetables that you sauté with a little garlic and extra virgin olive oil.
Chili peppers
Dr. Li said he likes to incorporate them into his diet by cooking with them. The options are also endless, as there are hundreds of varieties of this pepper.
Canned beans
Recent studies confirm that canned beans can actually reduce your waistline by fighting visceral fat. Lentils and other legumes work as well.
Olive oil
Olives and extra virgin olive oil are great for fighting white fat.
