According to statistics, there has been a rise of 40% in obesity rates in the past three decades. Numerous weight loss products are offered on the market by the health supplement industry, which has taken full advantage of this problem. As these supplements are generally ineffective and even harmful, people have started turning toward natural remedies to address obesity.
Naturopathic doctors have been singing the praises of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are found growing freely on local farms to rebalance the body. According to these health advocates, the body is designed to return to a normal weight once it is healthy and balanced. What’s more, some weight loss experts discovered a certain banana beverage that can stimulate the body into burning fat.
It is said that if you consume this drink regularly you will be able to see the results within a week. The banana is that type of fruit that has a high level of potassium. This means that it builds strong muscles and has the ability to scare away the toxins out of your body. In combination with other nutritive ingredients, the banana is highly beneficial and efficient.
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1 cup of frozen blueberries
- ½ cup of baby spinach
- ¼ tbsp. ginger powder
- 2 tbsps. freshly grinded flax seed
To sweeten the beverage, you can also add some stevia. You simply blend all the ingredients together, and this healthy smoothie can replace your breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Nutritional Benefits
Bananas are rich in potassium, antioxidants, natural sugars and fiber, all of which nourish and revitalize your body and balance your blood sugar levels. Plus, bananas promote healthy digestion thus helping your body to absorb nutrients efficiently. What’s good about this is that a well-nourished body doesn’t crave junk foods, and it normally lets you know when you are full. Ginger is another ingredient in the banana drink with powerful medicinal properties, which improve your metabolism and suppress your appetite.
Banana Beverage Success Stories
Although results are different with different people, which is true of any weight loss program, many people who tried the drink lost 2-4 pounds within a few days. However, it is questionable whether these pounds were water weight or actual fat loss. Also, at least one dieter reported improvement of skin quality as well.
Conclusion
Weight loss experts are generally unanimous that specific foods or exercises cannot be used to eliminate fat in particular body parts. However, they agree that a well-nourished and exercised body is likely to regain a healthy weight. The nutrients found in bananas and the other healthy ingredients in this weight loss beverage can promote good overall health and long-term weight loss benefits if the drink is consumed instead of processed junk foods.
