How to make a cocktail at home

To prepare a healthy and effective drink from kiwi for weight loss, do not forget about the following points:

Do not add alcohol to vitamin cocktails. Alcoholic drinks whet the appetite, but we (for weight loss) need it on the contrary - to suppress it. In addition, alcoholic beverages contain a considerable amount of calories, and we don't need extra calories either.
Prepare drinks only from fresh products, as a last resort, you can use frozen berries.
Citrus peels are a natural shield against vitamin loss. Therefore, do not buy citrus fruits already peeled. Whatever the tempting price of such a product, there are no vitamins left in it, almost all useful substances have disappeared.
Peel and chop the fruit flesh just before cooking. And never leave the prepared drink "for the evening" or "in the morning". Remember - vitamin C evaporates within half an hour after cooking. And after a couple of hours, just a delicious drink will remain in your glass, and not a valuable cocktail for health.
When in contact with metal attachments, some of the nutrients are destroyed, therefore the prepared smoothie contains only half of the valuable active components of fresh citrus.

Product No. 1. GRAPEFRUIT
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is a unique fruit. Three types of grapefruit can be distinguished: white, pink, and red. The color of a grapefruit is a measure of how sweet it is. If you like a sweet grapefruit, go for red or pink; white grapefruit has the most sour taste. But all trivia are equally useful.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The action of grapefruit is aimed at accelerating metabolism and burning fat. This is facilitated by the naringin substance contained in the pulp. This substance activates the liver and has a choleretic effect, namely, bile breaks down fats that enter our body with food. Therefore, regular consumption of grapefruit will slow down the growth of body fat. Only one "but". Naringin is contained in interlobular films, therefore, in order to achieve the desired result, the grapefruit will have to be eaten whole, without removing the bitter film.

You can also drink freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, which is recommended 20 minutes before meals for people with low gastric secretion, or a glass of diluted grapefruit juice a few minutes after a meal for people with hyperacidity.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Grapefruit also has a beneficial effect on the intestines, stimulates metabolism, thereby leading to weight loss.
Regular consumption of half a grapefruit or a glass of its juice with each meal can reduce weight by 2 kg on average in 2 weeks. Juice grapefruit can be mixed with orange and lemon juice. This will additionally strengthen your immunity and cleanse your body of toxins.

Product No. 2. PINEAPPLE
Pineapple is good for coping with overeating. Its enzymatic activity on the work of the intestines persists for a long time, and it works very well for digesting food. Pineapple is especially good for dealing with fish, meat, dairy products and legumes. So after a hearty meal, it would be nice to drink pineapple juice or eat a slice of fresh pineapple. This will prevent a feeling of heaviness in the stomach and help you digest protein foods faster.

The phrase "what would it be to eat to lose weight", despite its superficial playfulness, carries a great deal of truth. After all, some products really contribute to weight loss, which occurs due to the acceleration of metabolic processes.

Slimming Products

The plant-based menu is the main friend of those who have embarked on the path of healthy eating. In addition to the fact that fruits and vegetables accelerate the metabolism, they contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals that can compensate for the lack of essential substances, especially during dietary nutrition.

So what are these foods, the use of which will help keep the body in great shape? The leading positions in this list are occupied by kiwi and grapefruit. The maximum effect when used is achieved due to their work in several directions:

start processes that promote fat burning and prevent their appearance
promote the rapid assimilation of nutrients;
regulate digestion;
normalize blood cholesterol levels.

It is thanks to this that nutritionists include grapefruit and kiwi in the list of must-have foods when developing individual menus.

Kiwi is perhaps so rich in vitamins, minerals and other useful substances that it is quite capable of surpassing even some vitamin complexes presented in pharmacies.

Vitamin C helps to maintain the immune system, and its content in kiwi is so high that in this regard, "Chinese gooseberries" are superior even to citrus fruits. Also, this vitamin helps to slow down the aging process., as it protects cells from free radical attacks, fully revealing its antioxidant properties.

Vitamin A, which is also present in kiwi, will help maintain visual acuity. B vitamins, or rather, folic acid, is simply vital for pregnant women and those who plan to have offspring, because it is she who is of particular importance in the production of new cells and DNA synthesis, and also, together with vitamin B12, participates in hematopoiesis. Therefore, kiwi is also isolated as a natural prophylactic against cancer, the cause of which is a violation of cell division.

Trace elements such as iron, manganese and copper regulate the optimal level of hemoglobin in the blood, and the rare substance actinidin lowers blood clotting, which reduces the risk of blood clots.

The macronutrients potassium and magnesium have a beneficial effect on the work of the heart, strengthening the walls of blood vessels and normalizing blood pressure. Another property of potassium - the ability to remove excess fluid from the body - will be a real salvation if there is a problem of puffiness. Also thanks to this, kiwi is the prevention of kidney disease, preventing the formation of stones and sand in the kidneys.

And the main quality for which kiwi is so loved by women who are worried about their figure is its ability to burn fats and establish metabolic processes in the body. This is due to the fact that it contains a small amount of calories, only 50 per hundred grams of the product, while after consuming it, a feeling of satiety comes. By lowering the level of cholesterol in the blood, kiwi prevents the formation of fatty deposits, and fiber improves digestion, which helps to cleanse the body.
