Lakewood Organic Orange Carrot Juice

First to recommend

Description

Researchers believe that it's the antioxidants like vitamin C and beta-carotene that help ward off ab fat. Orange vegetables, like carrots, cantaloupe, squash, and peaches are rich source of beta-carotene. If you don't want to look like Bugs Bunny chomping on a carrot, drink carrot juice.

Smoked Vermont Cheddar Cheese

First to recommend

Description

Meet your recommended requirement of 55 mcg of selenium with cheese from Vermont.

Selenium is a cancer-fighting mineral that is also linked to lower rates of abdominal obesity, according to a survey of more than 8,000 Americans. People with higher blood levels of selenium and other antioxidants had smaller waistlines than those with lower levels.

Klein's Naturals Walnuts

First to recommend

Description

Selenium is found in many foods, but it can be hard to know if you're getting the recommended 55 mcg a day because amounts vary based on the soil in which food is grown and the feed livestock consume. To meet your requirement, try a supplement or eat a varied diet and opt for foods grown in different areas such as nuts from California. Add walnuts to your diet by throwing them onto a salad.

Dannon Danimals Lowfat Cherry Cool & Strikin' Strawberry Yogurt

First to recommend

Description

Protein keeps you full and boosts energy, which leads to overall weight loss but for those of us in the 40+ age range, protein also helps to reduce ab fat (according to findings from Skidmore College and Copenhagen University Hospital).

Lowfat dairy products like yogurt and skim milk are a great source of lean protein, Just watch the added sugar and the portion size. Kiddie yogurt cups to go are convenient, easy, and help to keep sugar and portions in control for us big kids.

Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil

First to recommend

Description

Studies show that eating high amounts of protein may stress the kidneys as they work to eliminate the excess. The correct amount is 25% of your calories from protein. Lean choices include chicken and lean fish like light tuna. Tuna salad? Sure, but watch the mayo. I'd go with a Nicoise Salad.

Description

Nuts do double duty as a source of selenium as well as protein.

However, nuts can be high in calories. Limit yourself to five 1-ounce servings a week, which is about 24 almonds.

Wine Enthusiast Symphony Stemware Cabernet/Merlot Wine Glasses (Set of 4)

First to recommend

Description

A glass with dinner is a great benefit because light to moderate drinking protects against female midsection weight gain, compared to complete abstinence. One 4-ounce glass of red or white wine most days a week seems to be best (Based on a review of data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics.)

O Organics Meyer Lemon Olive Oil

First to recommend

Description

Monounsaturated fats such as olive oil help you keep your abs trim. And if you happen to rub a teaspoon or two into your hair to keep it shiny and healthy, well, we won't tell.
