Pomegranate helps you lose weight because it contains few calories and is a super antioxidant fruit, rich in vitamin C, zinc and B vitamins, which help with carbohydrate metabolism, helping to prevent diseases and stimulating fat burning.
Thus, to lose weight, one must drink the juice or tea from the pomegranate peel daily. The two complement each other in the treatment of weight loss, since the juice acts as a diuretic and the tea is a powerful anti-inflammatory, improving the functioning of the metabolism. Here's how to prepare:
Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranate juice should be taken without sweetening, preferably in the morning, before or during breakfast. To enhance its effect, you can add 1/2 lemon juice and 1 slice of ginger.
Ingredients:
- 200 ml of water
Preparation: beat in the blender all the pulp of the pomegranates together with the water, and then drink. To make it cooler, ice stones should be added to beat together with the pulp.
Pomegranate Peel Tea
Pomegranate peel is the most anti-inflammatory part of the fruit, being important in the weight loss process because it helps to improve hormonal production and strengthen the immune system, in addition to leaving the skin more hydrated, rejuvenated and without cellulite.
To make the tea, you must put 10 grams of the pomegranate peel in 1 cup of boiling water, turning off the heat and smothering the pot for 10 minutes. After this period, you should strain and drink the warm tea, repeating the process 2 to 3 times a day, without sweetening.
How to Eat Fresh Pomegranate
Pomegranate can also be eaten fresh, in its natural form, being a good strategy to control the desire to eat in times of anxiety. To remove the seeds more easily, you can use a small teaspoon or immerse large pieces of the pomegranate in ice water, as this helps to loosen the seeds from the skin.
The seeds can be eaten together with the pulp of the fruit, or simply thrown away while eating. However, consuming the seeds increases the amount of fiber and antioxidants in the meal, which helps to bring more nutrients to the body. See all the Benefits of Pomegranate.
