1. Food Seasonings: Do They Help
Attack Belly Fat?

Learn The Secrets as to Whether Food
Seasonings Help or Prohibit Fat Loss!
With so much emphasis being
placed on what foods to eat and
exercises to perform, a topic that
does not get discussed very often
is the one of food seasonings. At
one time or the other, we have all
indulged in some type of food
that has been loaded with
seasoning to make it taste great! The question now remains,
are these seasonings good or bad for you?
For starters, not all seasonings are the same.
There are seasonings that are high in sodium while others
that are not. Seasonings that are high in sodium should be
avoided as they will cause you to retain excess water and
therefore more weight. It is not that sodium itself is bad for
you, but rather the amount we consume on a daily basis that
is. Studies have shown that we should not consume more
than 2,000 mg’s of sodium if we are trying to lose weight and
stay healthy.

2. Benefits of Sodium:
Sodium allows the body to transport water more efficiently.
Water is needed to keep our bodies properly hydrated and
from overheating. Sodium also helps to keep a good acid
balance between our blood and urine. In addition, sodium
helps our bodies to deliver nutrients more efficiently which is
important to achieving any fitness goal!
Effects of Too Much Sodium
If you consume too much sodium, some side effects can be
high blood pressure and excess water retention. This could
lead to bloating and ruin your weight loss or fitness
endeavors as your body is holding on to water weight. So
make sure you get no more than 2,000 mg’s a day of sodium
to avoid any of these side effects.
Secret Tip to Use for Foods That Are High in Sodium
I always recommend using foods that are all natural. For
instance, if you have the choice between canned corn or all-
natural corn, always choose the all-natural corn! I know it
can be a bit of a hassle at first but your body will thank you
and so will your waist line.
The reason for avoiding canned products is because of the
high sodium and trans fatty acid contents that are put in
them to preserve the food. If you take a look at any canned
food product and compare the nutritional values of the same
food in an all-natural state, you will immediately notice the
difference. The canned food will contain way more sugars,
sodium and fats while the natural food may contain zero
sugars and minimum sodium and fats.

3. So the next time you go grocery shopping, always remember
this rule and you will be golden!
Seasonings That Are Your Friend
Garlic Powder: This is a very popular seasoning and one of
my favorites of all time. Garlic powder can have several
health benefits such as helping to lower cholesterol levels
and help to protect your immune system from any infections.
Garlic is sold at several health nutrition stores as it helps to
promote cardiovascular health. I like to use it as a seasoning
on my chicken breast, steaks and lean ground beef.
Oregano: This is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect
your immune system and any oxidative damage to your
cells. You can sprinkle this seasoning on foods such as
chicken, rice, vegetables etc.
Onion Powder: This seasoning can help prevent any
cardiovascular related health issues such as heart diseases
and strokes. In addition, onion powder has a good anti-
inflammatory effect on the body. You can use onion powder
on foods such as chicken, steak, fish, vegetables etc.
Cinnamon: Studies have shown that cinnamon can help
your cells respond better to insulin. This is important as it will
allow your glucose to function more efficiently and nutrients
such as proteins, carbs and fats can be transported
throughout the body easier. I like to sprinkle cinnamon on my
oatmeal or sweet potatoes but it really depends on your
taste buds as to how you choose to use this seasoning.
