Apples and other water-rich fruits can help make your diet plan far more effective as the pectin contained within the apples can limit how much fat your cells can absorb.
A wide variety of fruits, especially little berries, contain a large number of antioxidants and soluble fiber to aid in digestion.
It’s important to limit the intake of fruits because some fruits do have a high natural sugar count which can create insulin spikes in the body. The natural acids within fruits can also create intestinal upset if taken in large quantities.
Like other fruits, berries are high in water and fiber, which can keep you full longer. They’re also very sweet, satisfying your sweet tooth for a fraction of the calories you would get from cookies or brownies. Blueberries are a good example because most stores carry them and they’re loaded with antioxidants.
Use berries and apples and other metabolism boosting ingredients to help you prevent food craving and trigger the natural fat burning process within the body. Drink this smoothie once a day instead of one of your daily meals.
