Bottled Water May Be MORE Fattening Than Soda
Plastics put a toxic burden on your body and halt fat loss. Eliminate the toxins starting with ditching your plastic bottled water!
It may be hard to believe, but plastic can make you fat.
Canned foods, bottled water, and basically any food that’s wrapped in plastic contains a toxic plastic residue called “BPA”, which has been proven to mess with your hormones like estrogen.
And hormone disruption equals
- Fat gain and increased size of your fat cells
- Excessive menopausal symptoms
- Water retention
- Bloating
So, in order to avoid screwing up your fat-burning hormones with plastic, most people think the only thing you have to do is to stick with “BPA-free” plastic bottles, packagings and wrapping.
But that’s wrong, because “BPA-free” is nothing but a complete scam.
To create BPA-free plastic, the industry has replaced BPA with another material called Bisphenol S – or BPS.
The latest studies have shown that BPS might be EVEN MORE dangerous than BPA for your health, and even more fattening for your body.
That’s why you should ditch your plastic bottle and just stick with stainless steel instead.
But even then, you just can’t completely escape the toxic burden your body is under these days with pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals lurking in your food.
Fortunately, there are few simple “tweaks” you can make to your diet, starting today, that can help your body eliminate this toxic burden and get your fat loss moving again, while helping you look and feel younger.
These 4 foods will help you purify your body of chemical build-up, reduce chronic inflammation, cleanse your liver of fat storing toxins and flush away your “trapped” fat – all in 7 days or LESS.
You read it right. Simply add these 4 foods below to your diet, starting today, and it will take you less than 7 short days to dramatically reduce inflammation and cleanse your liver – helping you begin the process of flushing away your “trapped” fat cells.
Food #1: Turmeric (clean your fat burning filter)
Turmeric is now being touted in the innovative medical community as the “fountain of youth” super spice.
Used predominantly in Indian cuisine, the root of this spice is used for dozens of health benefits, including acting as a powerful, all-natural anti-inflammatory agent.
Often considered the forgotten spice, turmeric can assist your liver’s enzymes in flushing out carcinogens from your body.
This is critically important for optimal health and efficient fat loss because your liver acts as a natural detoxifier. It’s your body’s fat burning filter and turmeric will help you keep it healthy.
A poor functioning liver will ZAP you of your energy and make it nearly impossible to shed unwanted body fat because it’s responsible for the elimination of drugs, pesticides, and environmental chemicals from your body.
Turmeric not only helps you maintain a healthy functioning liver, research indicates curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, may help reduce joint pain caused from inflammation and lower your blood sugar to eliminate cravings… all of which will keep your body in a “fat burning environment”.
As you can clearly see, this spice is definitely one you want to be making good use of. It will help you flush out more “trapped” fat and it just so happens to work perfectly with food #2 below.
Food #2: Lemon Juice (purge toxins from your blood)
The all-natural alkalizing effect of fresh squeezed juice, from organic lemons, has a very powerful detoxifying effect that can purge toxins from the blood and help assist in removing harmful compounds from your body.
Almost everybody has been misled to believe lemons are acidic, but inside your body lemons are an incredibly alkaline food that can help balance your body’s pH, which means better health and higher energy levels.
Lemon juice has also been shown to improve your digestive function, acts as a mild diuretic and is loaded with healthy nutrients (citric acid, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, bioflavonoids, pectin) that helps boost your immune function.
Combine all these benefits together and you have the PERFECT environment for faster fat loss. All you need to do to get all these healthy fat fighting benefits is squeeze a medium sized lemon (use organic to avoid residual pesticides) into a small glass of water every morning on an empty stomach.
Food #3: Cruciferous Vegetables (destroy fat storing estrogen)
Cruciferous vegetables contain a naturally occurring ingredient called 3,3′-Diindolylmethane or DIM for short. DIM is strongly anti-estrogenic, so it helps block xenoestrogens (sometimes called obsesogens)…otherwise known as BAD estrogen that accumulates inside your body from constant exposure to environmental toxins.
This hormone is the reason why women are storing more and more belly fat in today’s day and age – and it’s also responsible for chronically low testosterone levels in men. This causes all kinds of nasty side effects like facial hair in women and “man boobs” in men. Not to mention it makes it VERY difficult to lose weight.
DIM not only wards of off bad estrogen, it also acts as an immunostimulant, which means it can naturally“boost” your immune system and Wikipedia even touts this ingredient to have various potent anticancerproperties. So including these foods in your diet could go a long way.
Obvious choices to add to your daily nutrition plan are broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and cabbage. Some other, lesser-known, super veggies include swiss chard, arugula, collard greens, bok choy, kale, and watercress.
IMPORTANT TIP: Since DIM is fat soluble, it’s best to consume these veggies with other healthy oils and friendly fats like grass fed butter. This will greatly enhance the absorption of these powerful fat-fighting nutrients.
Food #4: Tart Cherries (recover FASTER and stop inflammation)
Over 111 million prescriptions are issued yearly for anti-inflammatory drugs. These meds have been shown to wreak havoc on your digestive system, while causing damage to your heart, your liver, and your kidneys.
But the anthocyanins and phenols found in tart cherries have been shown to provide STRONGER protection against muscle injury and damage than these dangerous drugs. In other words, this tiny fruit has been proven BETTER than things like Ibuprofen for reducing inflammation and muscle soreness.
In fact, over 74 published studies indicate tart cherries deliver a high level of protection against cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and can even fight against Alzheimer’s. Many of them also validate tart cherries and tart cherry beverages speed up recovery time from exercise and reduce inflammatory markers significantly.
But there’s MORE…tart cherries also contain a hefty dose of naturally occurring melatonin (improves sleep) and they have one of the highest anti-oxidant scores of all fruits and they score amazingly low on the glycemic index (~20). So they’re one the best fruits to eat for fat loss.
So by eating a hefty dose of tart cherries (or organic, flash pasteurized tart cherry juice) you can help your body recover faster, reduce joint pain through the anti-inflammatory response, sleep better, and fight inflammation to “flush out” more trapped fat from your body.
