…And the Oscar goes to double Calcium and Omega-3.
Sesame seeds are full of these two nutrients that are well known for their fat cell killing properties.
Including sesame paste, or Tahini, as it is more commonly known, at breakfast every day is a great help for anyone who wants to lose belly fat and weight in general. You will see the pointer on the scale go down very quickly. Just a spoonful of paste made with that seed on a slice of bread.
Study after study has shown that calcium not only interferes with the development of adipocytes (fat cells), but also stops the absorption of fat. So when the body lacks calcium, we have abundance in the belly and love handles. Not to mention, it also has an important role in the utilization of insulin, the hormone that regulates metabolism and hunger. If this substance, insulin, is released into the body, the increase in adipose (fat) tissue is clear and certain.
The role of omega-3s in weight loss is less well known. It is known, however, that one of the functions of this fatty acid is to reduce inflammatory processes. What does this have to do with losing stomach fat? It’s simple: when our body receives an unwanted visit from a microorganism, the body accumulates fat as a defense mechanism.
Of course, the body needs to store energy to get rid of the unwanted visitor. However, if the body is well supplied with omega-3s, the risk of inflammation is quite small. Therefore, there is no need to store fat and the chances of losing belly fat are higher.
You can make your own pasta or you can buy it ready.
