A celebrity health expert has revealed a surprising kitchen staple that could help ward off weight gain. Dr Mindy Pelz, who boasts high-profile clients such as former race car driver Danica Patrick and singer LeAnn Rimes, also counts stars like Penelope Cruz and business mogul Steven Bartlett among her Instagram followers.
Earlier this week, Dr. Mindy took to the social media platform to enlighten her 931k followers about a superfood that not only 'fuels gut bacteria' but also contributes to 'weight balance'. She highlighted that this is particularly beneficial for those experiencing menopause, as our 'microbiome shifts' with age.
She posted: "Post-menopausal weight gain often starts in the gut," explaining that "As we age, our microbiome shifts, losing the oestrogen-supporting estrobolome and impacting how we store fat and handle stress.". "The good news? Our ancestors knew the secret: fibre-rich foods like sweet potatoes. These tubers fuelled their vitality and can do the same for us today, especially when paired with fasting for balance and weight management." In a separate comment, she noted: "Fibre-packed and nutrient-rich, they nourish the microbiome and reduce belly fat.".
While it's widely recognized that processed carbs are linked to weight gain, Dr. Mindy suggests that sweet potatoes have a more complex role to play. Sweet potatoes are known as 'complex carbohydrates', which provide a slow energy release, helping you feel satisfied for longer and potentially reducing your snacking urges. Quinoa, whole grains, vegetables, and beans also fall into the complex carbohydrate category due to their sugar molecules being arranged in lengthy chains.
