Adequate calcium in the body increases breakdown of fat in the bloodstream and preserves thermogenesis, accelerating the weight loss process. Promotes thermogenesis by converting a portion of dietary calories to heat instead of storing it as body fat. When the calcium levels are low, the body tends to make more fat cells. That’s a lot of research to show calcium helps burn fat. Diets that are high in calcium are associated with reduced rates of being obese. If one takes the recommended daily intake of calcium, there are less chances of that person developing belly fat. Calcium also suppresses appetite, lowering hunger sensations by 12%. Interestingly, when there is calcium deficiency, the body produces higher levels of calcitriol which is a hormone that leads to production of fat cells. Adequate calcium lowers calcitriol levels, leading to breakdown of fat, lesser production of fat cells, helping you slim down. Food Sources of Calcium: Milk, all milk products, cheese, dry fruits, nuts, quinoa, eggs, etc. 3. Iron: It is one mineral which gets its due importance because when there is a drop in iron, you can immediately feel it with a lack of energy, iron-deficiency anemia, and malaise. Iron is needed to carry oxygen all through your body and improve muscle strength and endurance. When your iron levels are low, you also tend to gain weight because it directly affects thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism, making it quite difficult to lose weight. And because you lack energy and metabolism drops, the body stops losing weight. 4. Zinc: Hypothyroidism is a condition when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones making it a lot difficult for women to lose weight. When there is a deficiency of zinc, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone leading to weight gain. Just like all the minerals mentioned above, zinc also boosts metabolism and helps burn calories. Food Sources of Zinc: Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, green leafy vegetables, spinach, nuts, and even dark chocolate. 5. Potassium: It is an essential mineral that is needed in good proportion in the body to maintain the pH level of body. It also boosts metabolism and improves muscle function. Potassium helps to increase the basal metabolic rate or resting metabolic rate which is the amount of calories that you burn while staying at rest. Sources of Potassium: Banana is a rich source of potassium, along with spinach, broccoli, potatoes, cucumbers, green peas, sweet potatoes, etc.
