If you want to have a healthy heart, registered dietitians say, it's good to go green. That's because there's growing evidence that suggests eating pistachios, the only green nut, daily could help reduce your risk of heart disease. It's due to the nut's rich antioxidant content, which may help lower levels of LDL, the "bad" cholesterol. That's according to research by Penn state University's Doctor Penny Kris-Etherton in an article in the journal of nutrition. In the study, those who ate pistachios received more antioxidants than those who ate a low-fat diet without the nuts. More antioxidants can mean fewer of the plaques believed to play a role in blocking arteries. In addition, a different Penn State study found pistachios are anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is a risk factor for heart disease and other chronic conditions. Pistachios are a naturally cholesterol-free snack. A one-ounce serving of pistachios is forty-nine nuts, more than any other snack nut. Pistachios are also rich in potassium.

If you trying to lose weight beware of certain "fat-free" or "low-fat" products. Even though they are low in fat it doesn't necessarily mean that they are low in calories. And, if they contain flour, they can cause you to gain weight.



White flour comes from grain which has been stripped of all its natural fiber and ingredients; it has little nutritional value and will cause you to gain weight.



Here's some really good news. If you do nothing more than stop eating all products made with flour you will lose weight.



White flour is a bad carbohydrate.



Now, here's why. White processed flour is similar to white sugar. It comes from grain which has been chemically treated during the growing process, stripped of all its natural fiber and nutrients, and chemically bleached to make it a pretty white. Not to mention pretty unhealthy.



It's a food that the body does not know how to digest. It has little nutritional value, spikes your insulin and can cause constipation. Yet the American Dietetic Association recommends we eat 8-11 servings of them in our daily diets. And that's not good advice.



The public has been programmed to believe that white flour products are healthy and should be part of your daily diet.



This is because they are low in fat, cholesterol and calories. People eat things like white bread, cereals, pasta, bagels, crackers and pretzels and believe they are eating healthy because some these foods are labeled "low-fat" or "fat-free".



But what food manufacturers have failed to mention in their clever advertising is that these products have zero nutritional value and can lead to poor health. And most of them are chock full of bad carbohydrate calories which turn into fat.



This may surprise you; wheat bread is not any healthier for you than white bread.



They both have a high glycemic index rating of around 100 which is unhealthy. Even though wheat bread has been minimally processed and contains more fiber it is still full of the wrong carbohydrates that will turn to fat and cause you to gain weight.



If you are trying to lose weight stay away from whole wheat bread, whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat pancake mix, shredded wheat, wheat crackers, raisin bran, and the thousands of other wheat-containing products that promise health.



As many as 75 percent of overweight and obese people in the U.S. may be addicted - through poor eating habits - to either bad carbohydrates or the protein called gluten, which is a problematic protein present found in all wheat, whole wheat, wheat bran, rye, and barley products. Soy flour and corn bran do not contain gluten.



Stick to healthy foods if you want to lose weight



Stay away from flour products if you want to lose weight. Learn to substitute other healthy foods for flour products and you will see faster results for your weight loss program.



You may have difficulty eliminating all flour products from your diet overnight. If this is the case then start by staying away from snack foods made with flour.



Satisfy your cravings for unhealthy snacks and get your daily fiber by eating good and healthy carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables.



Eliminating flour products from your diet is one the quickest ways to lose weight. However, it's not easy to stop eating breads and snack foods. You can start by substituting other healthier snacks and be on your way to losing excess weight and improving your overall health.

Burning fat to achieve a slim and sexy figure can be done by eating some recommended foods. There is a wide variety of foods that have fat- burning properties. To see better results, you can combine altogether fat burning foods. In this way, you can have all their working properties combined. What these foods do is reduce fat absorption of one's body. In addition, they are also helpful in transporting fat out of the body and increase metabolism that is also necessary for natural fat burning. They also contain nutritional values and are likely to have low glycemic index, low saturated fat content, essential omega 3 fatty acids and a high content of fiber, water and/or protein.
Five super foods you can consider for fat burning include negative- calorie foods, low calories/ high fiber, low calories/ spicy, complex carbohydrate/fiber/calcium and lean meats/high protein. The first food type, negative- calorie foods, is effective for those plus- sized individuals. These are foods of which the calorie content is less than the amount of energy necessary for full digestion of a certain type of food. The second food type in the list is called low calories/ high fiber foods. These are foods that contain so much water with little or zero calories or foods that have high fiber content and move through the digestive tract at a quicker rate keeping fat from being stored in the body. A good example of this type of food is a meal which combines together a banana, orange and kiwi. Other examples include fruit varieties like apple, blueberries, cantaloupe, cranberries, grapefruit, honeydew melon, lemons and limes, oranges, pineapple, strawberries and watermelon; and vegetable varieties such as asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, endive, green beans, onions and spinach.
The third beneficial group of fat- burning foods is known as low calories/ spicy foods. These foods are basically those with zero calories and spicy. The tendency of eating spicy meal is that your metabolism can be increased by 25 percent for up to three hours in comparison to those foods that are not spicy. Drinking coffee for the whole day and eating snacks with red peppers can effectively burn almost 1,000 calories. Apart from zero- calorie foods, you may also opt for zero- calorie beverages such as green tea, black tea and coffee.

The fourth variety of foods that are capable of burning fats is one that is rich in carbohydrate, fiber and calcium. Complex carbohydrate and fiber when combined is capable of keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable and prevents fat storage. Examples of complex carbohydrates include pasta, bagels, potatoes and the like, and of fibers are whole- wheat pasta, whole- grains like barley, popcorn and the like. Last but not the least is the lean meats/high protein. These foods provide the body with necessary energy for the extraction of calories and they also increase metabolism. 
These are the five powerful foods in fat burning you can consider eating. In order for you to get the body shape you want, make sure that you go into a healthy and natural diet.
