Hydroponics Greens help you lose weight

               

Comfort foods -- they bring back warm memories, tickle your taste buds, and soothe your soul, and some comfort foods from hydroponics green varieties can actually help you lose weight.

1.Mashed sweet potatoes
Eating sweet potatoes can prevent sugar from getting stored around your waistline as fat. How? Sweet potatoes are rich in carotenoids -- the orange and yellow pigments in plants that help the body respond to insulin. Carotenoids slows the body's release of glucose and insulin. Plus, sweet potatoes are filled with fiber, which slows digestion and prevents blood sugar from plummeting -- and your hunger from spiking.

2.Collard greens
A single serving of this hearty veggie adds up to a mere 46 calories. A serving also packs more than your daily-recommended doses of vitamins A and K, which can strengthen your immune system for a healthy metabolism. Plus, a cup of collard greens contain 7.6 grams of belly-filling fiber.

3.Roasted carrots
As a side or mixed in with your favorite meats, the high water and fiber content in carrots fills you up fast. Roast them for a better calorie burn: University of Arkansas researchers found that carrots roasted at 104 degrees contain three times as many antioxidants as raw carrots.

4.Pumpkin
Don't let the pies fool you. One cup of this good-for-you gourd contains a mere 46 calories and 3 grams of fiber, according to the USDA. Plus, pumpkin is an excellent source of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which fights the oxidative stress and inflammation in the body that's linked to increased fat storage.

                                    


5.Chili
If soup is filling and protein builds muscle, then chili has all that and more. The combination of the fiber from the tomatoes and the protein from the beans and beef and prevents overeating. Plus, capsaicin, the compound that gives cayenne, chili peppers, and jalapeños their heat, can also torch fat.
Spices trigger your sympathetic nervous system -- which is responsible for both the fight-or-flight response and spice-induced sweating -- to increase your daily calorie burn by about 50 calories.

6.Chickpeas
Whether you call them garbanzos or chickpeas, a half-cup serving of these hearty legumes provides about 40% of your daily protein needs and 70% of your daily fiber intake, helping to stabilize blood sugar, control cravings and prevent overeating. They're also a great source of healthy unsaturated fats that can whittle your waistline. A 2009 study from the University of Newcastle in Australia found that participants who consumed the most unsaturated fats had lower body mass indexes and less belly fat than those who consumed the least.


                                       

7.Roasted potatoes
Spuds don't have a waist-friendly reputation, but they're actually full of nutrients. White foods contain the disease-fighting chemical allicin. This chemical, also present in garlic, has been shown to fight inflammation in the body, contributing to smaller waistlines. Plus, research shows that calorie for calorie, white potatoes are more satisfying than any other tested food.
