Seasonal ingredients are fresh and rich in nutrients. Especially during this hot period, seasonal fruits that are light and refreshing are ideal, rather than high-calorie and heavy foods.

 

Fortunately, many foods available during the transition from summer to fall help with detoxification and weight loss. One thing to keep in mind is that while it is good to consume enough fruits and vegetables that aid in toxin removal and dieting, it is not advisable to consider them as meal replacements.

 

To maintain health and physical strength, it is also important not to forget adequate protein intake. In this regard, based on information from American women's health media such as 'Women's Health,' we looked into foods that are good for detoxification and weight loss.

Cherry

 

Among red-colored foods, cherries are relatively small in size but are rich in nutrients including water and dietary fiber. They also contain anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that inhibit the increase of waste products and have anti-inflammatory effects to improve inflammation. Cherries contain melatonin, a substance that induces sleep, helping to promote restful sleep.

 

Blueberry

 

Blueberries are one of the representative fruits containing powerful antioxidants. The anthocyanins abundant in blueberries help widen blood vessels, prevent plaque formation, increase blood flow to the brain, and contribute to brain health and memory improvement.

 

Green tea

 

It is a time to cool down from the late summer heat and replenish fluids, so people drink not only fruits but also many beverages. However, drinking carbonated drinks or fruit juices with high sugar content during this time ultimately makes you more thirsty. Cool green tea is the ideal choice. Green tea contains catechins, a type of polyphenol, which help eliminate harmful oxygen in the body through antioxidant action.

 

Tomato

 

When thirsty due to dehydration, it can sometimes be confused with hunger. To prevent hunger associated with dehydration, tomatoes are good because they have high water content and provide a feeling of fullness. Since tomatoes are high in potassium, they help excrete sodium when consuming foods high in sodium, balancing nutrition and preventing facial swelling.

 

Grapes

 

Grapes contain resveratrol, which has antioxidant properties and helps prevent cancer and improve skin beauty. Since this ingredient is also abundant in grape skins and seeds, it is recommended to wash the grapes thoroughly and eat them with the skin on.

The price has increased significantly compared to two weeks ago.

The size has also become smaller.

 

These days, grapes are sweet and delicious.
