9 Spoonfuls Great for Health and Weight Loss

9 Spoonfuls Great for Health and Weight Loss

 

Taking care of our bodies is all about small, incremental steps. If  you want to start on a healthier path in life, or boost your already-healthy one, the best way to do that is to introduce little changes in diet and activity. To help facilitate those changes, especially when we want to lose weight, there are a number of super-substances that both make you healthier and help you lose weight quickly and safely. Just a spoonful of these a day can work wonders.
For a Balanced Blood Sugar Level: 1 spoonful of apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has many uses, not only around the house but also for the body, both on the outside as well as in. By adding a teaspoonful of it to a 12 ounce glass of water you'll be adding a great array of nutrients to just slacking your thirst. This will also help to keep your blood sugar levels in check.

For proper digestion: 1 spoonful of raw organic honey 
Honey, namely unprocessed honey, has many antioxidants and important enzymes that help boost our health. Sadly, these are stripped away from most honey brands found worldwide when raw honey is made into processed honey. Raw, organic honey provides the body with thousands of different digestive enzymes that have a significant effect on our digestive system. When you look for this honey, make sure it says both raw and organic on its label. 

Not to mention, making sure your digestive system is in great working order really helps the body lose weight, and these enzymes can help you do it.

To Suppress the Appetite: 1 spoonful of coconut oil
Coconut oil has been heralded as incredibly helpful for weight loss. It's funny, because it has a relatively high level of saturated fat, but it's not the bad kind, and it also contains many healthy fats our body requires. The fatty acids will help you feel full while your metabolism actually increases so you naturally burn fat.
 

 
For much needed antioxidants and vitamins: 1 spoonful of thyme
When we're trying to get healthy, it's important to find substances that are both chalk full of benefits while at the same time not revulsive to our sense of taste. Thyme is a perfect example of a seasoning you can cook with or add to a beverage like tea. It's coupled with chicken breasts many a time, also lean turkey breast. Thyme will enhance the flavor of these simple proteins while adding a cartload of antioxidants as well as helping you lose weight. 

Thyme is not only tasty, but contains many of the antioxidants, minerals and vitamins your body's cells need to stay protected from damage and with the stress of losing weight. In addition, it's a diuretic, which will help release stored up water weight and flush out toxins. What's not to love?

To Aid in Weight loss: 1 spoonful of ginger
This is a spice that targets fat specifically, not just boosts weight loss. That's important because, when losing weight, you want to know you're burning excess fat and not just water weight.

Just a teaspoon or tablespoon of ginger added to a dish will give you the benefits you need from it. It can add some spice to a bowl of chili or soup, and even added some punch to your smoothie.

Ginger works in two ways. The first is that it improves out digestion, which alone helps losing weight. The second is by boosting your natural metabolic rate, which means you'll be burning more calories per hour - leading to weight loss.

 
For a double-shot of Antioxidants: 1 spoonful of Turmeric

Turmeric is usually seen used in Indian cuisine, especially in curry. It is known for its bright yellow/orange color and has a distinct flavor. It also contains an active ingredient called Curcumin, which holds incredible health benefits.

A spoonful of turmeric (or better yet, a spoonful or curcumin powder) will add many antioxidants to your system, burn fat, help your heart and blood flow, and is an incredible agent in the fight against disease and infection, as well as being an anti-inflammatory agent. Add it to lean meats to enhance both flavor and health.

For essential Omega-3: 1 spoonful of flaxseed
Flax not only helps you feel full, able to wait patiently for your next meal, it also contains fiber you need to lose weight. But the most important part is the omega-3s flaxseeds are full of. You'll be surprised how better you feel with these in your system.

Omega 3 reduces the amount of dangerous fats in your blood, lowers depression (or boosts the performance of anti-depressants), has anti-inflammatory properties, helps with asthma and helps to prevent cognitive degenerative  such as Alzheimer's and dementia.

To Boost the Immune System: 1 Spoonful of Lemon Juice 
Known for their astringent properties as cleaning products, this same power to clean can also help you lose weight, feel good and be healthier. 

A spoonful of lemon juice added to some hot water first thing in the morning will give you a vitamin C blast that will carry you well throughout the day, cleansing while energizing you. It does wonders for your overall health and boosts your immune system to stay more active and fighting. It also help weight loss because vitamin C directs your body to burn fat rather than store it.

Avocado is a refreshing and tasty fruit, and, when added to a breakfast smoothie, can be an incredibly healthy snack or garnish. Since it's soft, mashing it will make it very easy to munch and a spoonful will give put you ahead on the amount fiber you need for the day. The avocado is filled with healthy fats that help you burn fat faster as well as lots of potassium, which is great when trying to lose weight.
