There are many reasons for gaining weight, but the main cause is excess calories (calories) caused by excessive food intake. If you move your body less, the remaining calories are accumulated as fat and belly fat comes out. Therefore, if you plan to lose weight, eating low-calorie foods first will increase efficiency. If you feel full quickly, you will be able to eat less of other foods. What foods can you eat to lose weight?

◆ Cabbage, low calorie and satiety… Gastric mucosal protection, body fat excretion effect

According to the National Standard Food Composition Table, 100g of cabbage (raw) has 33 calories and 89.7% moisture content. It also contains 1.68 g of protein. Dietary fiber that gives a feeling of being full quickly and reduces neutral fat in the body is 2.7 g. Even if you boil it, there is almost no change in calories, but there is a disadvantage that nutrients are reduced. It is weak to heat, so it is best to eat it raw or in juice. If you eat it with heat, it’s better to stir-fry or blanch it.

Cabbage is more effective on an empty stomach, such as in the morning or followingnoon. According to the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, vitamin U, which strengthens the stomach, protects the gastric mucosa from stomach acid and irritants. Vitamin K increases the regeneration of the already damaged stomach wall. In particular, vitamin U promotes protein and fat metabolism. After being absorbed by the liver, it assists in protein synthesis and helps relieve symptoms such as fatty liver by discharging excess fat accumulated in the liver.

◆ Cabbage, very low calorie… Intestinal cleaning, great contribution to colon health

Cabbage is lower in calories than cabbage. 100 g of raw cabbage is only 15 kcal. Moisture is 94.8 g. It has a lot of dietary fiber, so it promotes intestinal activity and is good for preventing constipation and colon cancer. However, cabbage has a cold nature, so it is safe to eat it cooked if you have chronic colon disease. The loss rate of vitamin C in Chinese cabbage is low even when it is heated or pickled in salt. In particular, the green leaves of cabbage have a lot of beta-carotene, a former substance of vitamin A, which helps strengthen immunity.

◆ Cucumber, thirst quenching and refreshing feeling… Energy for body tired from heat and diet

Cucumbers are very low in calories. 100g (dadagi, raw) is only 14 kcal. The water content is 95.2 g, so it quenches thirst and gives a refreshing feeling. The refreshing scent is due to an ingredient called ‘cucumber alcohol’. Eraterin, which gives a bitter taste, helps digestion and protects the stomach. As an alkaline food rich in vitamin C, potassium, and minerals, the crunchy texture can be a source of vitality for a body tired of dieting.

◆ Carrots slow aging and contribute to disease prevention… Cooking in oil increases absorption.

100g calories are 14 ㎉. Rich in beta-carotene and lycopene, which have strong antioxidant effects, they slow down aging and help prevent diseases. It also has a lot of lutein, which contributes to improving eye health and immunity. It is also good for regulating blood pressure and preventing arteriosclerosis. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that dissolves in oil, so absorption is much higher when taken with oil. You can fully enjoy the nutrition of carrots by cooking them in oil with the skin on. However, you should be careful that eating a lot of healthy oils, such as olive oil, can lead to weight gain.

◆ Seaweed, lack of iodine can make you gain weight… Heavy metal release, blood pressure control

100g of raw seaweed is 15 ㎉. It contains a lot of calcium, iron and iodine. The reason why seaweed is good for pregnant women is that a lack of iodine reduces metabolism and causes weight gain. The slippery nature of seaweed is due to the alginic acid component, which has the function of adsorbing heavy metals such as fine dust and discharging them out of the body. The laminin component in seaweed and kelp has the effect of lowering blood pressure.
