How To Loose Stomach Fat With Blueberries

A recent study that was presented on April 19, 2009, suggests that eating blueberries can help people loose stomach fat. The study was performed using laboratory rats. Researchers added blueberries (in freeze dried form, then crushing the blueberries into a powder) to the diets of both rats with low and high fat diets. They used rats from a breed that is more prone to being severely overweight. The control part of the study was of course rats that received no blueberries.

Here is a direct quote as to the findings of this recent study:

In all, after 90 days, the rats that received the blueberry-enriched powder, measured as 2 percent of their diet, had less abdominal fat, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol, and improved fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity, which are measures of how well the body processes glucose for energy.

While regular blueberry intake reduced these risks for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome, the health benefits were even better when combined with a low-fat diet.

Although more research needs to be done about blueberries helping with stomach fat, we already know that there are a number of benefits from eating blueberries. If you’re wondering how to loose stomach fat, be sure to eat a diet low in fats and consider eating a serving of blueberries every day.
