Modern nutritional studies show that adding some types of dried nuts rich in good fats, fiber and protein can effectively help reduce visceral fat, while improving overall health.
Almonds
Containing many monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, almonds have been shown to reduce bad cholesterol and improve insulin sensitivity. Almonds help reduce visceral fat accumulation by controlling blood sugar levels and feeling full longer, said nutritionist Dr. Cynthia Sass (USA).
Walnuts
As a rich source of omega-3, walnuts are not only good for the heart, but also help the body control fat metabolism. Studies published in the Journal of Nutrition confirm that eating walnuts regularly can reduce belly fat and improve metabolic health.
Cashew seeds
Many people are afraid of fatty seeds, but in fact, the fat in fatty seeds is mainly monounsaturated fat, which is beneficial for burning excess fat. At the same time, magnesium in cashews supports energy metabolism, helping to limit visceral fat accumulation.
Pistachio
Research from the University of Pennsylvania (USA) shows that pistachio helps control weight and reduce belly fat thanks to its high protein, fiber content and low glycemic index.
Experts recommend eating about 30g of dried nuts per day, combined with a balanced diet and reasonable exercise to achieve the best effect of reducing visceral fat.
