Best Protein to Blast Belly Fat

As you learned in Can Certain Foods Reduce Belly Fat, no single food “burns” belly fat alone. However, there is strong evidence that a daily menu featuring plant-based foods, particularly those rich in protein, helps to minimize the chronic inflammation that promotes belly fat.

That’s because unlike animal-based foods―especially protein like meat and dairy which increase systemic inflammation―plant-based protein sources such as beans, legumes, nuts and seeds are anti-inflammatory, so they help to safely counteract this dangerous condition.

All plant foods work in your favor, but emphasizing plant-based protein sources over animal-based versions plays a vital role in promoting healthy intestinal flora, controlling inflammatory responses, and much more. Next, check out The Top 10 Anti-Inflammatory Plant Foods.
