Maqui and Weight Loss
A good, balanced diet is an essential part of healthy weight loss
and most of us know by now that fad diets do more harm than good. If
you’ve heard of the Maqui super berry you might think it’s just another
fad but scientists and doctors have documented some pretty impressive
benefits, both in general health and weight loss.
Maqai juice, the
most common form of commercially distributed Maqui berry, is easy to
drink or to mix into tasty healthy recipes. You may be apprehensive
of how does the Maqui berry taste but it’s refreshingly tart as well
as a bit sweet just as a healthy berry should be. It tastes quite a
bit like pomegranate juice. Maqui juice is very versatile, too, as
you can use it as a drink or in a smoothie or even bake it into healthy
muffin or cake recipes.
Muffins and cakes on diet?! Yes, it’s easy
to stick to a healthy weight loss diet and still satisfy your sweet
tooth! By replacing white flour with half whole grain flour and half
crushed high fiber cereal, you’ll cut out about a quarter of the calories
in a recipe while adding valuable nutrients. Substitute apple sauce
for margarine or oil to eliminate even more fat and calories and use
egg whites or substitute instead of eggs. Add an ounce or two of Maqui
juice before baking and you’ll have a sweet treat full of fiber and
antioxidants at less than half the calories of your old favorite with
all the taste!
You’ll find that Maqui juice—or concentrate or capsules—will
nudge your metabolism to pick up the pace. You can hasten this with
exercise. You’ll be surprised to know that doctors have discovered
that three 10-minute sessions or six 5-minute sessions are as effective
as one 30 minute exercise session. If you think you don’t have time
to exercise, do it in time-saving bursts to get the same benefits and
a longer session.
 If you have physical limitations, remember that any
movement is better than none! The anti-oxidants in Maqui juice destroy
the free radicals that eat away at the healthy cartilage that cushions
joints. Once that happens cartilage is able to grow again and your
joints will move and feel much better, usually in a matter of weeks.
Maqui juice probably won’t cure arthritis but studies have shown that
it can markedly improve your joint function and comfort, allowing you
more freedom of movement and thus, easier weight loss. Maqui juice
is such a great help in weight loss because as well as boosting your
metabolism, in most cases it increases circulatory health. When your
heart can pump oxygenating blood through arteries and veins that are
unobstructed your whole body is healthier and more vital. Plaque and
cholesterol are two things that antioxidants just love to attack and
banish and Maqui juice has more antioxidants than any food that has
been discovered so far.
You’ll find weight loss and good health much
easier to attain when you include Maqui berries, juice or capsules
in your regime. |
