In most cases healthy weight loss can be achieved by right diet along with the correct exercises, combined with a list of beneficial supplements. However,the quantity and type of supplements vary from person to person.
However many people struggle with weight loss even after following a very healthy lifestyle. Weight loss depends on your age, gender, lifestyle, genetics. Many times heavy reliance on medicines alter many functions in our body and just a diet plan and exercise routine does not help to lose weight. Weight loss is also dependent on how the nutrients are absorbed in our intestinal tract to facilitate the metabolic process. Deficiency of certain minerals and vitamins can hinder the weight loss process.
Let’s look at few nutrients that play a major role in weight loss process:
Antioxidants: Antioxidants are essential for protecting the body during weight loss. Toxic chemicals which are stored along with fat cells will be released during weight loss phase. The body is protected from damage of mercury, dioxin and other neurotoxins by putting these toxins in fat cells. Once released, these chemicals can cause damage to many tissues in the body. In order to help detoxify these damaging substances, the body requires antioxidants.
Naturally occurs in Lemon and citrus fruits. Consume 1 full lemon per day diluted in water.
Fiber : Fiber provides a sense of fullness and balances energy levels. This is especially beneficial for those on a low carb diet. Ideal sources are flax seeds, oat bran and salads etc.
Vitamin C : Needed for weight loss detoxification and formation of thyroid hormone. It also aids in formation of Carnitine, which helps in burning fat. This is abundantly found in citrus fruits, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and capsicum.
Zinc : Zinc sensitises tissues to the effects of insulin thereby helps to minimise cravings. It also helps insulin to burn sugar and grow lean muscle, both of which help weight loss. Legumes, beans, nuts, dairy products are sources of zinc.
Selenium : Selenium helps in detoxification and activation of thyroid hormone, which in turn aids weight loss. Sources of selenium are egg yoke, brazil nuts, chicken, ham etc
Healthy fats : A lack of the right fats will keep you from burning calories. Avocado, flaxseed oil, ghee, cod liver oil and coconut oil are good sources of healthy fats.
It is recommended to consult a physician or certified nutritionist before having the above mentioned supplements.
