The challenges of losing weight have been seen in this generation more than in all the other generations that have gone past. Most of today's adults and children alike are living sedentary lifestyles. This is just as bad for both, more so for children as they end up obese in their childhood and suffering from childhood obesity related diseases, such as diabetes. This used to be rare in children back in the day, but cases of children with diabetes induced by obesity are fast on the rise.
Diet and exercise are one of the keys that aid in weight loss as well as leading a healthy eating lifestyle. One of the best things to have in your diet, more so if you want to lose weight are fruits and vegetables. This is because, in most cases, fruits and vegetables are packed with loads of vitamins, nutrients and minerals that are essential for the good health of our bodies.
Not only do they do this, but do so with very few calories. Most fruits also do not contain any fat, cholesterol, and saturated fat. Should they contain any sodium, it is in low quantities. Therefore, there won't be any guilt trips after having, say three apples in a row, as compared to having three chocolates in a row. As delicious and comforting chocolate may be, it does more harm than good most of the times, as compared to fruit. So what are these fruits that aid in weight loss?
- Banana: Facts on the nutrition of bananas have shown, amongst many other things that they aid in weight loss as well as building muscle.
- Strawberry: Strawberries have also been found to be great in helping with weight loss. Nutrition facts on strawberries reveal that they have the ability to improve your metabolism as well as keeping hunger pangs at bay by suppressing your appetite. This in turn means that your food will be digested faster and the need to snack on unhealthy, high calorie foods is lessened.
- Orange: Oranges are yet another fruit that are helpful in losing weight. They are also cholesterol, fat and saturated fat free, low in calories but rich in essential nutrients.
- Apple: It has been said that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." It is also true to say that "An apple a day will help you to lose weight!" Research has found that apples are also one of the fruits that are useful in helping one who wants to lose weight.
- Guava: Guavas have also been found to assist in weight loss. This is, like the other fruits mentioned here, due to their make-up. They are low-calorie but nutrient loaded foods. So you get more from less.
