University Study Uncovers Weird Food That Boosts Fat Burning

Watch out Raspberries, there is a new fat buster in town!

That’s right, unlike raspberries that grow on bushes, these tiny fruits grow on woody vines that encircle the sides of buildings and trees.

They are commonly used to make many different selections of wines, jellies, and juices.

Now, they come in many different varieties and colors and can be found in both seeded and seedless varieties.

What are we referring to…

Grapes!

And, yes, similar to the red raspberry (raspberry ketones), grapes may also help you shed the fat!

Grapes and Fat Loss

You already know, that as part of a healthy diet, you should consume a wide range of fruits and vegetables.

And that the fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals found in those fruits and vegetables will boost your health and wellness,

Since most fruits and vegetables are low in calories and fat, they are an attractive option for leaving you feeling full and satisfied – while burning FAT!

However, grapes – green, red, and purple ones – may hold a secret…

A secret so powerful, that many weight loss experts don’t want you to know about it!

The fact is: grapes may help you shed unwanted pounds…

Reduce the accumulation of body fat…

And, may be able to reduce inflammation, which may be one cause of dysfunctional fat cells.

Plus, there is research to prove it!

A team of researchers from the University of Michigan Health System tested the use of freeze-dried grape extract and its effects on many different markers in the body.

Here is what they found:

First, the researchers fed Western-type diets supplemented with or without freeze-dried grape extract to subjects for a period of 90 days.

They wanted to see the effects grapes had on heart, liver, kidneys, and fat tissue in rats altered to gain weight and fat.

Now, here is where the study gets interesting:

They showed that 90 days of grape extract supplementation resulted in lower inflammatory markers in the liver and abdominal fat tissue.

Plus, grapes also reduced liver, kidney, and abdominal fat weight compared to the control diet.

And that’s not all!  The grape-supplemented diet increased antioxidant defense markers, especially in the liver and kidneys!

They concluded:
“Our study concluded that a grape-enriched diet may play a crucial role in protecting against metabolic syndrome and the toll it takes on the body and its organs.  Both inflammation and oxidative stress play a role in cardiovascular disease progression and organ dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes.  Grape intake impacted both of these components in several tissues which is a very promising finding.”
Eat More Grapes

Grapes - which are low in calories and but high in nutrition – should be part of a healthy diet.

They also contain fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are vital for optimal functioning of all the cells in your body.

Besides all that, all varieties of grapes may be beneficial for boosting your fat loss.

In fact, according to this study, grapes consumed for 90 days may lead to lower abdominal, liver, and kidney fat weight.

And, including grapes may increase antioxidant defense markers in the body.

For faster fat loss, better antioxidant defense, and improved inflammation markers, eating grapes daily may be the best option for you!

COMBATING FREE RADICALS
  • Antioxidants are natural substances that stabilise highly reactive molecules known as ‘free radicals’. 
  • Free radicals occur naturally in the body.  Pollution, chemical additives, stress, exercise, sunlight and other factors can increase free radical production.
  • Excess free radicals can have a damaging effect on the body’s cells.  A great deal of attention has been directed at the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E because of their function in protecting the cells from damage caused by natural body processes, lifestyles, and environmental and chemical pollutants.
  • These vitamins, along with the trace mineral selenium, help to prevent important molecules and structures within the cell from reacting with oxygen, which often injures the cell structure. This process is called oxidation.
