WHO DOESN'T LOVE A FLAT BELLY? TIP #2

BLUEBERRIES

These tart little berries are not called “blue dynamos” for nothing! Blueberries contain one of the highest antioxidant levels of all produce, making them terrific at decreasing unhealthy inflammation that may be triggering belly fat storage.

A diet rich in blueberries was shown to help significantly reduce abdominal fat. The same study found that this powerful fruit may lower triglyceride levels and improve insulin sensitivity — in other words, blueberries may help to fight heart disease and type 2 diabetes!

So, don’t be stingy when adding blueberries to your meals. They’re great alone, but they can also be baked into pancakes and muffins, and even added to stuffing. In addition, blueberries make a great topping for pork and poultry dishes.
