On Tiktok as on Instagram, Dr. Tim Tiutan, a hospital oncologist, is not content to give generic medical advice. He also shares what he puts on his plate every day. In a video that has become viral, it details three foods as simple as it is effective, which promote weight loss while reducing the risk of cancer. No rare or expensive product, but foods that can be found in any supermarket.
For the specialist, prevention begins well before the appearance of symptoms. And it goes, in his words, by “what we eat, but also what we drink“Zoom on his daily choices, validated by science and easy to integrate into any diet.
Blueberries: Small but powerful
The first on Dr. Tuitan’s list is the blueberries. He calls them “Super food that helps manage the weight“. A small portion is enough to make the difference: a cup of fresh blueberries contains approximately 4 grams of fibers, known to lower cholesterol and prolong the feeling of satiety. This can slow down the snacks and stabilize caloric intake during the day.
The benefits do not stop there. Blueberries are also rich in antioxidants, as Dr Suzanne Manzi recalls, in the columns of the site Shefinds. She highlights their ability to “help you feel full while promoting overall health“. In other words, a clever, light and beneficial snack.
Complete cereals: to hold the day
Followers of white bread or classic rice should think twice. Complete cereals are true allies of metabolism, in particular thanks to their richness in soluble fibers. The latter have a direct action on the digestive system, forming a frost which slows the transit of food, extending the feeling of satiety.
“”This decreases the risk of cholesterol and colon cancer“, Insists Dr. Tuitan. Their role in the regulation of blood sugar is also crucial: they avoid peaks in blood sugar, often responsible for cravings or weight gain. Among the most recommended cereals:
- Barley ;
- Brown rice;
- Buckwheat;
- Quinoa;
- Millet;
- Rye;
- Wild rice;
- Bulgur.
These foods, easy to cook, can balance meals without frustration.
Raspberries: fibers, water and ketones
Often relegated to the background, raspberries deserve a place of choice in daily diet. A single cup contains 8 grams of fiber, much more than most fresh fruit. But that’s not all: they are also very rich in water, which makes it a moisturizer and natural appetite suppressant.
“”The raspberries are full of water and fibers, which helps keep you hydrated and reduce your appetite“, Explains Dr Manzi. icing on the cake: they contain ketones, natural compounds known to stimulate metabolism and brake fat storage. What boost the silhouette effortlessly.
These choices only make sense to good habits
Including these foods in his daily life is an excellent start, but they are not enough to protect against cancer alone or guarantee an ideal silhouette. Dr. Tuitan insists on the importance of limiting his alcohol consumption, an often neglected factor. “”We generally think of what we eat rather than what we drink, which can affect weight gain“, He recalls.
It is therefore better to adopt a diet rich in nutrients, coupled with a good lifestyle, to really make the difference. A simple, but effective message – and above all, accessible to everyone.
