A stomach anti-fatty drink
By incorporating this simple anti -inflammatory drink into your daily routine, it would be possible to achieve your weight loss goals – and see (finally) your little belly disappear. But does this tip really work? Before issuing conclusions, let’s take a closer look at its composition.
For a home drink, you need:
- Turmeric and black pepper;
- Ginger;
- Of the Amla, also called “Népalaise or Indian redcurrant”;
- Pressed orange juice;
After having peeled turmeric and ginger, the whole would have passed to the mixer (without the seeds and with a little water if necessary) then filtered. But does this trendy drink on networks are enough to reduce inflammation? Here is what our nutrition expert thinks.
Ideal? Tend towards a global anti-inflammatory diet
First of all, understanding what an inflammation in the body is essential.
“Chronic low-grade, often silent inflammation can promote insulin resistance and fat storage, especially in the abdominal region. It is often linked to an ultra-transformed diet, rich in refined sugars, trans and poor fat in essential nutrients. Stress, fatigue, lack of sleep and other stressful situations for your organism can also increase your rate cortisol and thus promote inflammation and fat storage at the abdominal level, but also cause other harmful effects on your health “, warns Julie Boët, dietician-nutritionist.
To limit damage, adopt an anti -inflammatory diet – rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, legumes and spices – is therefore judicious. An approach in which the famous drink in turmeric, ginger and Amla is perfectly written.
As a dietician, “I confirm that this type of drink can be part of an interesting health approach, especially for its anti-inflammatory potential. Fresh turmeric, rich in curcumin, is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Fresh ginger acts in a similar way, in addition to promoting digestion. Amla, or Indian currant, is one of the fruit richest in natural vitamin C, thus strengthening immunity and limiting oxidative stress. Orange, finally, brings softness, vitamin C and soluble fibers. “
That said, the expert would like to recall that this juice, as beneficial as it is, is not a miracle solution.
“It will never replace a balanced diet or a good lifestyle. To reduce abdominal fat, you have to adopt a global approach: regular physical activity, stress management, restorative sleep and anti-inflammatory diet. In addition, drinking a fruit juice poor in fiber can on the contrary increase your blood sugar especially if it is consumed alone or by fasting and therefore increasing cravings on your day”. she underlines.
The dietician advises rather to tend towards a global anti-inflammatory diet, including in particular:
- Fresh fruits and vegetables;
- Good sources of protein (fatty fish, eggs, legumes);
- Omega-3 (linseed oil, nuts, fish);
- Fibers (complete grains, legumes, chia seeds).
The processed products, added sugars and excess red meat must obviously be avoided.
“It is also crucial to strengthen the full effect of meals: to integrate proteins with each meal, do not neglect the fibers, well hydrate and distribute the intake regularly during the day. Even if you cannot target weight loss, reduce inflammation and improve your overall diet often makes it possible to decrease the waist. In short, this juice is a good boost to integrate into a healthy lifestyle, but it cannot act alone. It is the synergy of all the small changes that will make the difference! “, concludes Julie Boët.
