Bananas are one of the best fruits in terms of fibre content, containing good levels of both insoluble and soluble fibre. Insoluble fibre has been indicated as important for maintaining good gut health, whilst soluble is thought to have benefits for the heart and cardiovascular systems.
Bananas also contain a third type of fibre, known as resistant starch. This is thought to act to protect the bowel, providing food for good bacteria and increasing stool weight.
Bananas contain very little fat, about 0.5g per medium fruit, meaning they are suitable as part of a low fat or calorie controlled diet
Another important ingredient is cocoa which according to recent researches poses a serious threat to excess pounds due to the presence of flavonols which have the potential to boost heart health, lower blood sugar, and decrease body fat.
Apple is packed with fiber which is regarded as a crucial compound in the battle against overweight. It keeps you full for longer so that you don’t feel hungry all the time.
Mint improves digestion and makes metabolism faster than before. It has enzymes that trigger the weight loss process if consumed regularly.
Almond milk is rich in healthy fats that contribute to losing weight and burning fat in the most effective way.
