Weight loss is a timeless topic for women. Today, I'd like to recommend some ingredients, hoping to add some fun to your life! I hope you'll like them!
Tomato
Calories: 19 kcal (100g edible portion)
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, which is beneficial for protecting vision and repairing sun-damaged skin. It's better not to add sugar to cold tomatoes, as the sweetness might affect your appetite. Obese individuals, diabetics, and those with high blood pressure should avoid eating the "Snowy Mountain of Flames" (cold tomatoes with sugar).
Bell Pepper
Calories: 22 kcal (100g edible portion)
Bell peppers are the vegetable with the highest content of vitamin C. Vitamin C can boost the human immune system and help resist various diseases. In summer, people are prone to summer colds, and with more frequent outings and exposure to the external environment, the chances of viral infections increase. Therefore, it's necessary to enhance one's immunity.
Celery
Calories: 12 kcal (100g edible portion)
Celery is rich in crude fiber, potassium, vitamin B2, and niacin. During the hot summer weather, people are prone to "heatiness," leading to dry stools. At the same time, people lose more water in hot weather, which can easily cause an imbalance of sodium and potassium. Celery can help with bowel regularity and regulate sodium-potassium balance. Vitamins affect a person's skin, nervous system, and appetite. A deficiency in vitamin B2 can easily cause fatigue, weakness, and mouth ulcers. The nutritional content of celery leaves is higher than that of the stems, so it's a pity to discard them. You can blanch them and eat them cold.
Chinese Cabbage
Calories: 17 kcal (100g edible portion)
Chinese cabbage is high in dietary fiber and vitamin A. Eating more fresh Chinese cabbage in the summer, when the sun is glaring, is beneficial for eye protection and skin care. However, avoid eating Chinese cabbage that has been stored for too long, as it has lost too many nutrients. Additionally, people with peptic ulcers should not eat raw Chinese cabbage to avoid the irritation of rough fiber on gastrointestinal ulcers.
Calories: 21 kcal (100g edible portion)
Eggplant contains more selenium than other vegetables. Peel and shred a fresh, tender round eggplant, and dress it with a moderate amount of salt and sesame oil for a cold salad. Selenium has antioxidant properties, which can maintain the normal function of human cells, improve immunity, and have disease-preventing and anti-aging effects. Through metabolism in the body, it can also exert anti-cancer effects.
Job's Tears
Calories: 357 kcal (100g)
It has a sweet, bland, and slightly cold nature, with effects such as promoting urination to reduce edema, strengthening the spleen to remove dampness, relaxing muscles and relieving numbness, and clearing heat to discharge pus. Therefore, it is effective for edema-type obesity.
Squid
Calories: 84 kcal (100g edible portion)
Squid is very low in fat and high in protein, making it highly nutritious and a good food choice for weight loss.
Dried Tangerine Peel
Calories: 278 kcal (100g)
Dried tangerine peel contains volatile oil, hesperidin, vitamins B and C, etc. The volatile oil it contains has a mild stimulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, promoting the secretion of digestive juices to aid digestion, relieving bloating, and reducing abdominal fat accumulation.
