The 5 Best Weight Loss Foods out of 50


Garbanzo beans

Super Slimming Foods

21-25


Garbanzo beans

In addition to being a terrific source of filling fiber, protein, and healthy fats, garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas) contain more than 2 grams of slimming resistant starch per half-cup serving. Toss them in salad, mix into pasta, or use to make a creamy homemade hummus.

The "kabuli" variety of garbanzo beans is most commonly found in the U.S., but keep your eye out for the "desi" type, which actually contains more fiber and antioxidants.
Grapefruit

Grapefruit

A fat-burning superfood, grapefruit contains a compound that can lower the fat-storage hormone insulin, which in turn can lead to weight loss. In fact, eating half a grapefruit before each meal could help you lose up to a pound a week—even if you don't change anything else about your diet. Because grapefruits are 90% water, which fills you up, they also act as a natural appetite suppressant.

Bonus: Research suggests that this superfruit can also help protect your heart and maintain firm, healthy skin.
Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt is an extremely satiating breakfast or snack, thanks to its thick, creamy texture and a whopping 17 grams of protein (nearly three times more than is in an egg, in fact). A study from the journal Appetite found that people who ate a high-protein yogurt snack three hours after lunch felt fuller and ate dinner later than the other participants. And on top of that, other studies suggest that the acids produced during yogurt fermentation might help increase feelings of fullness.
Green tea

Green tea

If you want to sip your way to a faster metabolism, pour yourself a cup of green tea. The beverage is filled with powerful antioxidants that can help fight inflammation, burn fat, and increase energy. According to one study, drinking five cups a day could help you lose twice as much weight, mainly in your midsection. And drinking green tea could also reduce risk of Parkinson's disease, as well as ovarian, colorectal, skin, and prostate cancers.

For an extra boost, squeeze a slice of lemon or orange into your tea before drinking it: research from Purdue University found that citrus juice gives green tea's antioxidants staying power, so they're digested slowly and benefit your body for longer.
Kidney beans

Kidney beans

Like chickpeas, kidney beans (also known as red beans) are a rich source of slimming resistant starch and contain more than 5 grams of satisfying fiber per serving. Because they're packed with omega-3s and calcium, the legume is also good for your heart.

Enjoy them in a big bowl of chili, or make a bean salad with onions, peppers, and black and garbanzo beans.

  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...
