"SECRET TO A SLIM BODY" courtesy- Almonds

Almonds, like all other nuts contain monounsaturated fatty acids which not only provide us with proteins, calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, fibre etc. but also melt the tummy fat. They satiate the hunger and help to lose weight especially the accumulated fat around the stomach.

To prove the benefits of almonds, a study was conducted in California in which 65 women and men were given 70 almonds per day. After 6 months, there was a noticeable decrease in the waist of 14 % i.e. 7 inches.

A research in Spain also shows that foods with monounsaturated fatty acids are much healthier than foods with carbohydrates, because carbohydrates do the job of adding fat, whereas monounsaturated fatty acids reduce the tummy fat. So why not replace the fried snacks and sweets with almonds, cashew, pistachios and walnuts, which can be stored in containers in your refrigerator and eaten when you feel hungry. Having nuts instead of fried snacks is a way and secret to a healthy, slimmer body.

Your neighbour's baby can also help you lose weight!

A research shows that carrying a baby in your arms and strolling for an hour can burn 243 calories. So if you are really serious about losing weight, spend sometime with naughty babies/kids atleast for sometime; and get refreshed too with their innocent smiles.

Nuts help u lose weight!

It was a myth earlier that nuts contain fat and produce body heat, but recent research says that nuts are foods that contain monounsaturated fats which are healthy and help to lose weight.

So replace those potato chips, butter popcorns, namkeens etc. with a handful of nuts while watching your favourite T.V. programmes or whenever you are hungry.
Drink plenty of water, not with the snack or meal but between meals.
