Women who consumed 1,000 mg of calcium a day and ate up to 1900 calories a day lost both body fat and up to seven pounds over a 2 year period. The Nutrition Institute out of University of Tennessee further confirms that high-calcium causes you to reduce fat accumulation and increase fat breakdown. Researchers say that calcium inhibits the formation of an enzyme necessary to produce fat. Therefore, a diet high in calcium causes fat cells to make less fat. Eat Tomatos Tomatoes contain Lycopene, an antioxidant - helps fight harmful "free radicals". Eat Garlic Some Studies Suggest that sulphur compounds in garlic have health promoting effects. It has been suggested that garlic consumption may lower cholesterol, promote heart health and help fight bacteria in the body. Eat Shallots Shallots probably originated in Asia, traveling from there to India and the eastern Mediterranean. The name "shallot" comes from Ashkelon, an ancient Philistine city (now in Israel), where people in classical Greek times believed shallots originated. Like garlic, shallots are formed in clusters of offsets with a head composed of multiple cloves. Their skin colour can vary from golden brown to grey to rose red, and their off-white flesh is usually tinged with green or magenta. Shallots are much favoured by chefs because of their firm texture and sweet, aromatic, yet pungent, flavour. Shallots are much stronger and more potent then a typical white or yellow onion, so try them in your salads raw or you can caramelize them and serve them with a delicious gravy over a nice cut of beef or chicken!
