American scientists have discovered that there is a berry that is useful for those who want to get rid of extra pounds.
It helps you burn more calories when you exercise.
We are talking about wild blueberries.
Eating just one cup of berries a day is enough to not only saturate your body with vitamins, but also burn fat during your next workout.
As researchers note, just a cup of this berry a day can increase the rate of fat oxidation in the body by 19-43 percent. These figures were found in an experiment involving 11 healthy volunteers who ate 25 grams of berries daily for two weeks. All participants also cycled for 40 minutes every day.
Results showed that fat oxidation rates increased by an average of 19.7%, 43.2%, and 31.1% at 20, 30, and 40 minutes after exercise.
In conclusion, the experts noted that blueberries accelerate fat burning and also reduce cravings for carbohydrates.
