Purifying Broth That Will Help You Lose Weight
The ingredients in this broth not only promote weight loss, but also boost the function of organs such as the liver or kidneys and improve health.
One of the simplest ways to facilitate weight loss when we are improving our lifestyle is to drink a cleansing broth based on plant foods every day instead of heavy dinners, in which fried foods predominate or worse, junk.
In this article we explain what this broth contains, as well as how to prepare and consume it to help you lose weight in a healthy way. Take note!
Advantages of purifying broth
Take a cleansing broth to facilitate weight loss, as a complement to other eating and exercise guidelines. In fact, we can say that it is a highly recommended option for the following reasons:
- It is easy to prepare and we can prepare it ourselves, to taste. This way we make sure that it does not have too much salt, flavorings, etc.
- It promotes the elimination of fluids, which cause us bloating and heaviness (in addition to gaining weight).
- It has laxative properties, since the intestine must function in a balanced way to facilitate the elimination of toxins.
- It’s an easy way to make sure we drink enough fluids throughout the day.
- We can drink it hot or cold, so that it also becomes a restorative drink. In addition, it avoids us to drink juices or other drinks rich in sugars or sweeteners.
- In addition to helping us lose weight, it improves the functioning of the liver, kidneys and intestines. All of this will have an impact on overall health.
What ingredients does the cleansing broth contain?
We have selected ingredients that are easy to find for most of the year. We detail what they are, as well as the quantities that we will need for the daily purifying broth.
- 1 medium onion
- 1 small celery stick
- ½ cup of cabbage (100 g)
- Cayenne pepper (a pinch / to taste).
- 3 tablespoons of sea water (30 ml) or a pinch of sea salt.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil, coconut oil or flax oil (15 g).
Onion
The onion is rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, silicon and sulfur, and in vitamins A, B, C and E. This makes it a very beneficial food to improve the function of the kidneys and facilitate the elimination of fluids.
Due to these diuretic properties, it must be borne in mind that it is better to consume the broth before dinner time, to avoid the urge to urinate at night.
Celery
Celery is also a common ingredient in all kinds of soups and broths, thanks to its delicious and mild flavor. However, its main property is its purifying capacity, since it helps improve the functioning of the liver, gallbladder and kidneys.
These benefits allow us to lose weight in a healthy way while improving health. Also, this will result in increased energy and a better mood.
Cabbage
There are many varieties of cabbage, of different colors. We can choose the one we like the most or alternate them, since they are all beneficial to make this purifying broth.
Cabbage helps us eliminate fluids and fat from the body, making it an essential ingredient. Although its smell is not very pleasant, the broth will also taste very good.
Cayenne pepper
This simple spicy spice can help you lose weight, as it helps us digest fats better and increases metabolism, which can translate into greater energy expenditure and, therefore, calories. In addition, it helps improve blood circulation and expel mucus.
If it is difficult for us to consume spicy we can start with very small amounts: a pinch is enough. If we still don’t digest it well, we can try substituting it for garlic or ginger.
On the other hand, if the body tolerates it well, we will increasingly feel the need to increase the amount. As long as it does not cause digestive disorders.
How to prepare it?
- We will boil all the ingredients with 1.5 liters of water for 30 minutes.
- We will strain the broth and take it on an empty stomach and throughout the day, separate from meals.
- The remains of the vegetables that will be left over from the broth can be used in stews, omelets, scrambled eggs, sauces, etc.
- We can also mash the vegetables with a little ground oats and water. So we will have a delicious cream for dinner.
Clever! What is easy? Prepare it at home whenever you want and start enjoying its benefits. Remember that each of its components provide essential nutrients, which in addition to helping you lose weight, help you take care of the health of your entire body.
In order not to get bored, you can prepare this cleansing broth interspersed with other preparations, such as an asparagus cream, a chupe style soup, or the typical noodle, potato and carrot soup to warm up and comfort us.
