Foods that make the belly fat



Consuming snacks into our daily habits. At your leisure or middle of a movie. but do you know have some kind of food are familiar with our daily life, turned out to be the cause of why our stomach becomes stretchy. Bulge stomach often only temporary, due to a sense of bloating after eating these foods. 

More severe if the content in these foods may cause health problems if consumed in excessive amounts. There are three kinds of food which, according to Kathy McManus, RD, director of the department of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, could cause our stomachs distended: 

Popcorn 
Corn-based snacks are actually quite healthy, because the high fiber and low in calories.Become unhealthy because the food is no additional saturated fats like butter or salt. High salt levels can make the popcorn flatulence caused by water retention. In the long run, blend salt and fat can increase cholesterol, which later lead to heart disease risk (such as heart attack or stroke). 

Soy sauce 
One tablespoon of ketchup contains an average of 1000 mg of sodium. This means that the salt content is quite high in soy sauce. Well, just like popcorn, high salt levels can cause water retention that causes flatulence. 

Nevertheless, the researchers say that when you replace salt with soy sauce to flavor the dishes, you could reduce overall sodium content up to 50 percent. According to the theory of the researchers, the taste and aroma of soy sauce that is more complex to create the sensation of saltiness. Thus, you can still enjoy a meal without too much additional salt. 

Dried fruit 
Dried fruit is often added to the oatmeal is high in fiber, but also high levels of sugar. In calories and sugar even more than fresh fruits. This is due to the sour taste of fruit such as cranberries, blueberries or strawberries, so that the sugar added to the sour taste defeat. 

Other causes why dried fruits contain higher calories is due to dehydration process that removes many of the existing water content in the fruit. Water content was the cause of fresh fruit is bigger than dried fruit. So, when the fruit is dried, you need more cuts needed to sufficient portion. 

For instance, a wine and raisin grain has 7 calories. However, only a cup of wine contains about 60 calories, while a cup of raisins contains 400 calories! This does not happen because the company raisins add sugar, but because without water, raisins shrivel and leave so much space on the cup you use. 

More and more raisins contained in one cup, making a cup of raisins provide more sugar and calories than a cup of wine. However, in essence, as long as you do not eat too much and always remember what makes these foods are not healthy, you certainly will be spared from the health hazards that follow.
