Tomatoes contain a substance that has been found to promote healthy fat burning enabling you to trim down your sides without going to the gym.
How Tomatoes Can Help Trigger DNA Activation to Improve Fat Burning Ability
Professor Teruo Kawada and his team of researchers at the Laboratory of Molecular Function of Food in Kyoto, Japan have discovered the missing link, a substance found in tomatoes that have been found to effectively activate your DNA to burn of more fat, which could lead to a polar shift in how we look at dieting.
Which is it genetic or tomato juice, the world's answer to fight of global obesity?
The research team found that tomatoes contain a substance that is said to be able to activate DNA associated with the burning of fat in your body namely (13-oxo-ODA) a special type of unsaturated fatty acid. This substance is said to help decrease the amount of neutral fat in your body and prevent metabolic syndrome from setting in.
As featured in Why Japanese women live longer the Night Tomato Diet makes good use of tomatoes to help you lose weight.
In fact, we already know that tomatoes have the effect of shaving off neutral fat; however what we didn't know was what substance and how tomatoes help decrease the amount of neutral fat in your body. Now that it is quite clear how the process works, what's stopping you from incorporating more tomatoes in your diet?
Have you ever wondered how many calories in tomato there are?
What genes help you burn fat faster??
Even though we discuss how your genes can help you burn off more fat, that's doesn't mean that your genes help directly shed off pounds off fat. The secret of using your genes to do this is in giving your body what it needs to build the enzymes it needs to trigger you fat burning furnace, i.e. activating your DNA.
What Is The Best Way To Put Tomatoes In Your Body To Promote Healthy Fat Burning?
According to Kawada's research team at Kyoto University, 13-oxo-ODA when fed to an experimental group of obese mice, in 4 weeks results showed dramatic changes in blood sugar, neutral fat, rectum temperature that indicate an increase in fat burning abilities after consumption.
The amount of 13-oxo-ODA that was given to the mice in people terms makes up about a small glass (200ml) of tomato juice each meal.
Therefore, if you drink 3 glasses of tomato juice a day your body has all the 13-oxo-ODA it needs to promote steady fat burning without exercise.
Although tomato juice is said to be particular high in 13-oxo-ODA, that doesn't mean that you should limit yourself to only tomato juice. Tomatoes and tomato products contain ample amount of 13-oxo-ODA. So don't let that stop you from having a hot bowl of tomato soup on days when you crave something different.
