You will be surprised at the foods that I will talk about today, it is all about that food that is very healthy and that we integrate into our diet when we commit to lose weight and have flat stomach.
It really is weird to think that something healthy and rich could affect our body and more in an uncomfortable way, because let’s be honest! We all hate that feeling of having an inflamed stomach and abdominal pain.
The most important thing is that you discover how healthy foods behave in our body, that is why we must go one food at a time, to know if we are sensitive to each of them.
Remember that the passage of food through the abdominal intestine takes up to 24 hours, once you start to see how your body behaves each time you consume them, you will find out which ones are ideal for you.
If you discover that one of them inflames you and affects you in a way that you do not want, you can always look for other alternatives, remember that we have plenty of options to change, combine and enjoy healthy eating.
1.Broccoli
This is a vegetable with high levels of antioxidants and an incredible ally to prevent cancer, however, if consumed raw, these will cause us uncomfortable intestinal gas and increase our abdominal inflammation.
Try cooking them a little, do not overdo the cooking so they do not lose all those nutrients that contribute to our body.
2.Watermelon or melon
Being 2 fruits very rich in water alters the dilution in the gastric juices, which generates that the metabolism is much slower. You can change them for foods like avocado and coconut.
Also as I mentioned before, the consumption of foods with high levels of fructose is directly related to a considerable weight gain, a study shows that if you eat only one piece of a watermelon that was divided into 16 portions you will be ingesting 11.3 grams of fructose, while a lemon has 0 grams, or even a maracuyá 0.9 grams.
You must keep in mind that if you want to lose weight you should reduce your fructose intake to less than 15 grams per day.
3. Onion and garlic
These are two foods that can trigger heartburn, causing distension of the same, making you feel heavy and with a little nausea, remember that everything in excess is bad and surely these two options are for your body.
To consume them in a moderate way, and well cooked, is the most recommended. If you do not feel good after eating them, you can replace them with spinach, zucchini or mushrooms, which are also very tasty options.
4. Milk, butter and cheeses
Approximately 30% of the population suffers from lactose intolerance according to the University of Maryland, United States. Everything is due to lactase which is an enzyme that is responsible for treating the sugar in milk, in children lactase levels are very high, but as we grow these decrease, so we become intolerant to lactose.
Remember that milk is present in many foods, and in this we can integrate cheese, butter, among others. If you are intolerant of these foods , we recommend replacing them with coconut milk.
5. Turkey
Although the turkey is one of the healthy recommendations, it is a meat that although digested quickly, generates many gases, so your body can be affected.
You can choose other protein substitutes such as: fish, egg and chicken, whatever you like, the idea is that you feel good.
6. Corn
This is a dangerous ingredient, in this article , you can delve into its characteristics and how they can affect your health. Corn generates a lot of stomach pain, due to the difficulty of digesting it. In addition to distend your abdomen and inflame it.
You can usually change it for brown rice, potatoes (no more than 100 grams) and oats.
7. Peanuts and pistachios
These are two delicious snacks for when hunger strikes and it is not time yet to have a very large meal. But you should know that this type of food is usually highly allergic and you should know if you do not suffer from this allergy. Know other disadvantages of this food here
If you notice this type of alterations in your body change them for almonds, pumpkin seeds and sunflower, which work perfect as a snack and accompanying your meals.
8. Alcohol
This is not usually a drink that is consumed regularly, but when swallowing causes a quite evident abdominal swelling, all this thanks to the barley that is difficult to digest and it takes much more work of our body.
Alcohol is not an option if you want to lose weight, not even wine (learn here why). I recommend you eliminate it completely from your diet and that the excesses of the weekend do not delay your process
The foods mentioned above are also very good options for composing your daily diet, however you should be aware of the adverse effects that can occur. Not all women have these discomforts, so if you are one of them feel lucky.
Advise yourself on the options with which you can replace these ingredients, and remember that all organisms are different, some are much more delicate, some suffer from allergies and there will be others who have the fortune of being a little more stable.
What you must not forget is that everyone, that we have all gone through situations as uncomfortable as having a full stomach, bloated and with that feeling of gas in the body, that is why we must take care of ourselves, know the ideal for each one.
