How Chiropractics and Other Lifestyle Habits Can Aid In Weight Loss

It may sound too good to be true, but it’s a known fact according to Women's Health that there are foods out there that can actually aid your body in burning extra calories every day. Yes, it sounds strange, but there really are certain ingredients you can add into your daily diet that will speed up your body’s natural rate of calorie burning. In addition to receiving regular chiropractic care, be sure to stock up on these foods to get an added boost to your completely all natural weight loss routine.

It seems to make sense that spicy food is great for burning off calories. As it turns out, the active component of chili peppers known as capsaicin activates your nervous system in a way that speeds up the fat burning process. The process created by consumption of capsaicin is called thermogenesis, which oxides fat in the body in a faster manner. 

Ginger root is also helpful, and can be prepared in a variety of ways, from tea to grated slices to candied pieces. Ginger improves your glucose levels while stimulating the gastrointestinal tract, allowing it to ease hunger while aiding in your body’s natural fat burning process. As an added bonus, it’s also great for easing stomach pains and menstrual cramping. 

Eggs are also truly are a superfood. Not only do they taste great at pretty much any time of day and are able to be prepared in a variety of different dishes, but they are one of the most protein-filled foods you can find in your fridge. Eggs contain all nine of the essential amino acids your body needs. The great thing about eating a protein-rich breakfast, like one that includes eggs, is that your appetite will remain lowered throughout the day, since your brain will be fueled at a steadier, more consistent, and overall longer rate.

Finally, try taking a chance on chia seeds. We’ve all been hearing a lot about this trendy superfood lately, and thankfully it’s an ingredient you can add to many dishes to increase your intake of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, to name just a few of its healthy benefits. Chia seeds may be small, but they really do pack a punch; not only have they been shown to prevent diabetes and heart disease, but they keep you feeling full longer, so you don’t find yourself eating empty calories out of hunger later in the day. 

Ask your chiropractor about healthy lifestyle changes you can make and he or she will be sure to offer up some of these foods as a suggested dietary supplement in order to extend the benefits of your chiropractic care. A healthy diet will work in conjunction with chirorpactic to improve the overall health of your body.
