The 5 Best Weight Loss Foods out of 50

11-15


Carrots


Carrots

Because carrots have high water and fiber content, they can increase feelings of fullness as you eat. To boost their calorie-burning potential, try roasting them: in a University of Arkansas study, roasted carrots contained three times as many antioxidants as raw ones.

Also good: The beta-carotene in carrots can help maintain a strong immune system and good eyesight.
Cauliflower

Cauliflower

Cauliflower is an especially low-calorie vegetable—just 25 calories per cup. It's also packed with filling fiber and good-for-you nutrients like potassium and vitamins C, K, and B6.

Like its cruciferous cousin broccoli, raw cauliflower can cause bloating, but steaming can make it easier to digest. Try steaming then blending the veggie to give it a mashed potato-like texture, pureeing it into soup, or making cauliflower 'rice' by pulsing florets in a food processor before heating them in a wok.
Chia seeds

Chia seeds

Small-but-mighty chia seeds are a terrific source of essential nutrients like omega-3s, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. They also pack a serious fiber punch—4 grams per tablespoon—so when you add them to your favorite healthy foods, they'll help ward off hunger.

The versatile seeds can be blended into smoothies, stirred into oatmeal, used to thicken pudding, or added to yogurt. "You can even whisk them into a homemade citrus vinaigrette," says Sass. "The gel-like texture when they absorb water is both filling and satisfying."
Chili peppers

Chili peppers

The effect of chili peppers on your metabolism is real, says Sass. They contain a chemical compound called capsaicin that can increase your body's ability to burn fat (as much as 90 extra calories following a meal), and are also a good source of vitamin C.

"You can add chili peppers to omelets or egg salad, sprinkle them into a stir-fry, or mix them into salad dressing, tahini, or guacamole," says Sass. "You might even stir a little chili pepper into melted dark chocolate to drizzle over fruit."
Coconut oil

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is having a moment right now: it can be used as a butter or olive oil substitute in everything from baked goods to salad dressing, and can even be used as an alternative to milk in lattes (yes, really).

 Sass is a fan of the heart-healthy oil whipped into smoothies, and you can also use it to sauté veggies, sear fish, or as an olive oil replacement in soups and stews. (It's also a must-add to your beauty routine, and makes a wonderful natural moisturizer for skin and hair.)

Luckily, trendy coconut oil is also good for your waistline. Because it's a satisfying source of healthy fats, coconut oil fills you up quickly and helps you consume fewer overall calories. It also contains medium-chain triglycerides, which are easily digestible and quickly converted into energy.

  The  COVID-19 Pandemic in Bangladesh Is part of the  worldwide   pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 )   caused   by severe acute respiratory   syndrome   coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2 ). The virus was   confirmed   to have spread to  Bangladesh  in March 2020. The first three known cases were   reported   on 8 March 2020 by the country's   epidemiology   institute, IEDCR.

MENTAL HEALTH

    MENTAL HEALTH Growing a mustache or beard is fun, but the symbolism behind it is what this month is all about. November Community Development Manager Keith Sexton says it's to raise awareness and build a support system for men battling cancer, a mental health illness or something else. "Most men aren't doing anything about their health, they're not taking action, they're not talking about anything and they're dying too young. On average, men die about six-years younger than women and it's really mostly from preventable causes," Sexton said. Sexton says  three out of every four suicides are men  taking their own lives. "We're losing one man a minute across the globe," Sexton said. Growing a mustache or a beard is the most popular way to show support for men battling cancer or a mental health issue, but not everyone can do so. Sexton...
