A little education I shared with my VIPgroup today:
It’s Tuesday and Healthy sources of Fiber & Fats today are the goal! Both make you feel full and support hormones!!
Here's a quick reference:
Benefits of Fiber:
1. Regulates Blood Sugar: Fiber slows the absorption of sugar, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels.🤩
2. Supports Digestive Health: It aids in regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.👏
3. Weight Management: High-fiber foods are filling, which can help control appetite and reduce calorie intake.⭐️
4. Lowers Cholesterol Levels: Soluble fiber can help reduce levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol.🎉
5. Improves Gut Health: Fiber acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. 🥰
Benefits of Healthy Fats:
1. Hormonal Balance: Healthy fats are crucial for the production of hormones, including s*x hormones like estrogen and testosterone.😍
2. Brain Health: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish and flaxseeds, support cognitive function and brain health.🧠
3. Heart Health: Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can reduce the risk of heart disease.❤️
4. Nutrient Absorption: Fats help in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.🥳
5. Inflammation Reduction: Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce chronic inflammation.⭐️
Sources of Healthy Fiber:
- Fruits (e.g., apples, oranges, berries)
- Vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts)
- Whole grains (e.g., oats, quinoa, brown rice)
- Legumes (e.g., lentils, chickpeas, beans)
- Nuts and seeds (e.g., chia seeds, almonds)
Sources of Healthy Fats:
- Avocados
- Nuts and seeds (e.g., walnuts, flaxseeds)
- Olive oil
- Fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel)
- Coconut oil (in moderation)
Incorporating these foods into your diet can help support overall health and hormonal balance.⭐️ VIP, remembering benefits while you fuel your day is a great way to 💡 light up your reward center of the brain and it will help in making better choices in the long term!!
