Top 5 Reasons Why Fruits and Vegetables Help you Lose Weight ⋆ Laura London Fitness

Want to get rid of belly fat? Try fruits & vegetables!

Here are some of the many advantages to eating fruits and vegetables:

Higher Energy Levels

Fruits and Veggies are much easier for your body to digest than cooked foods. The body has to expend about 80% of its energy to break down processed foods. Eating more fresh fruits and veggies lets your body take a break from digesting which makes you tired and slows you down. Now your energy levels will be higher and your overall health will be better.

Weight Loss

Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of fiber and fiber fills us up so you will be satisfied and eat less. By starting your meal with a fresh salad or any raw, you automatically eat a smaller portion of a high-calorie processed food because there just isn’t enough space for it. Another amazing benefit of fiber is that it helps to push waste and toxins through your body that would otherwise be stored in your fat cells making you bloated and just plain unhappy.

Vitamins and minerals

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. How many of you are even eating an apple a day? The more nutrients you have in you, the healthier you will be and the easier it will be to burn fat. Try and orange it will give you natural calcium, vitamins A and B, Magnesium, Zinc, Phosphorus and Potassium the way Mother Nature intended you to get it. Not in a toxic dye colored vitamin pill made of all man made ingredients.

Anti-aging

Your cells are made of what you put in and on your body. Feed your body and your skin raw organic fruits and veggies because they are full of anti-aging antioxidants that help to fight free radical damage and aging. One of my favorite things to do is add a Goddess Green Smoothie to my diet every day for the beauty of it!

Enzymes

You have probably heard me talk a lot about digestive enzymes. If not then watch my enzyme video below to learn more and watch my enzyme experiment. But quickly natural raw foods come with their own enzymes to break themselves down. This way your body does not have to pull from it’s own stored enzyme reserves. Your body is now able to digest food better and easier digestion means more energy, easier weight loss and fewer toxins stuck in your fat cells.
