If you want to blast belly bloat,
holistic health coach kate henninger says it's all about eating smarter.
She says, "I don't think people realize how powerful the choices they make are."
Choose blueberries to help shrink your belly. We know they're good for us, but a recent study in mice show the polyphenols found in blueberries can break down belly fat.
Like blueberries, tart cherries, strawberries and raspberries also contain antioxidants that researchers found burn abdominal fat.
Grapefruit packs a powerful fat smashing punch. A study found those who ate half a grapefruit three times a day lost four pounds in 12 weeks, without changing the rest of their diet.
Thirsty? Grab some green tea. Drinking up to five cups a day can help shed abdominal fat. Antioxidants found in the tea known as catechins increase the release of fat from fat cells.
Tea is not the only drink brewing with fat blasting benefits. Try coffee as well. A study found the average metabolic rate of caffeinated java drinkers is 16-percent higher than those that drink decaf.
If you have caffeine concerns, stick with green tea. It only has about half as much caffeine as coffee
