There’s a special class of vegetables that contain very specific phytonutrients that actually help you to fight against stubborn belly fat.

Chemicals that force your body to hold onto belly fat

Certain chemicals in our food supply and our environment, such as pesticides, herbicides, and certain petrochemicals from air and water pollution, household cleaners, cosmetics, etc. can react with your body and make your body store excess abdominal fat.

These bad chemicals are known as xenoestrogens.

Xenoestrogens are chemicals that you’re exposed to - and are hard to avoid in the modern world - that have an estrogenic effect in your body.  Excess exposure to these can cause hormone havoc imbalances for both men and women.

These estrogenic chemicals that we are exposed to on a daily basis can stimulate our body to store belly fat, along with many other problems including cancer risks in the long term.

Here's where this specific class of vegetables helps you fight belly fat

Cruciferous vegetables help fight against stomach fat.

Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, bok choy, horseradish, watercress, turnip, mustard seed, and wasabi contain very specific and unique phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that help to fight against these estrogenic compounds.

And by fighting against these belly fat stimulating estrogenic chemicals, this is just one more step in helping you to win the battle against excess abdominal fat.

Bottom line: eat more broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.  Yes, you really can learn to love Brussels sprouts - just melt a little grass-fed cheese on them and some fresh garlic and they taste wonderful!
