Yogurt and citrus to burn fat
The calcium in yogurt is not only good for the health of our bones, but it also helps the body reduce the creation of new fat deposits and metabolize it better. Choose it skimmed, with the same calcium but less calories.
Oranges and grapefruits, like other citrus fruits, are a source of fiber and vitamin C, and they help lower insulin, something essential to burn fat since it is not possible when the insulin level is high.

Therefore, it contributes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but also anemia and cataracts.
