Some vitamins are true allies in the slimming process, especially during the menopause, a period when the body undergoes many changes.
Some vitamins are true allies in the slimming process, especially during the menopause, a period when the body undergoes many changes.
But what is this vitamin?
Vitamin E! Also known as 'tocopherol', it is a very powerful fat-soluble antioxidant, fights free radicals and promotes cell renewal. It also has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, thanks to which it supports the slimming process.
This vitamin is not produced by our bodies, which is why it is important to supplement it by consuming foods that contain it or even with specific food supplements.
In which foods can we find vitamin E?
- sunflower seeds (3 tablespoons contain 10.6 mg vitamin E)
- avocado (half an avocado contains 6.4 mg vitamin E)
- chicory (half a dish contains 4.5 mg vitamin E)
- shrimps (20 shrimps contain 4.3 mg vitamin E)
- courgettes
- extra virgin olive oil (one tablespoon contains 2.1 mg vitamin E)
Incorporate these foods into your diet to stock up on vitamin E and aid the slimming process!
In addition to diet, we also recommend vitamin E supplements that can easily be found on the market. Always consult an expert to find out which one is best for you!
