Quang Minh (theo Heathline) |

One natural way to reduce the risk of fat accumulation, especially visceral fat, is to supplement your diet with foods rich in antioxidants.

Here are seven antioxidant-rich foods and drinks recommended by leading health organizations.

Green tea

Green tea contains catechins, a powerful antioxidant compound. According to research from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, catechins in green tea promote fat burning and reduce visceral fat. Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day can help with effective weight control.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and prevent fat accumulation.

A study from the Journal of Nutrition found that daily consumption of blueberries helped reduce belly fat and improve insulin sensitivity.

Kale

Kale is a rich source of vitamin C and flavonoids. These compounds help reduce oxidative stress, a major cause of visceral fat accumulation.

Add kale to your diet to aid weight loss and boost heart health.

Tomato

Tomatoes contain lycopene, a well-known antioxidant that reduces inflammation and improves metabolism. A study from the British Journal of Nutrition found that a tomato-rich diet reduces the risk of visceral fat accumulation by balancing blood lipid levels.

Pomegranate

Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols, especially punicalagin, which has anti-inflammatory and fat-reducing effects. According to research from the University of California, pomegranate juice helps improve blood circulation, lower cholesterol, and reduce visceral fat when consumed regularly.

Almond

Almonds contain vitamin E and healthy fats, which help fight inflammation and reduce excess fat accumulation. A study from the Journal of the American Heart Association showed that consuming almonds daily not only improves heart health but also effectively reduces belly fat.

Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids and polyphenols, which help reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. According to research from the European Journal of Nutrition, consuming a small amount of dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) daily can help control weight and reduce the risk of fat accumulation.
