5 Foods That Help Fight & Reduce Belly Fat

2. Nuts and Beans against belly fat

Flavonoids are a quite remarkable group of phytonutrients that fall into the chemical category of polyphenols. They’re perhaps most famous for their rich diversity of color-providing pigments (including the deep blues of blueberries and rich reds of raspberries).

Are nuts and beans also rich in flavonoids? Yes, they are! Some nuts and beans such as Soy beans are high in protein and also high in flavonoids. Darks beans such as kidney beans and black beans tend to be higher in flavonoids from the anthycyanidins group.

Nuts such as walnuts and pecans are high in anthocyanidins while pistachios and cashews are high in the flavonols catechins. Flavonoids, apart from helping in fighting belly fats, have also been found to have the ability to block the production of messaging molecules that promote inflammation.
