Dr. Shweta Jaiswal explains how a diet rich in green leafy vegetables can help in losing excess weight. For example, a diet rich in leafy greens, berries, fatty salmon and nuts helps the body lose fat and water weight by reducing inflammation and stabilizing energy levels. These foods also support intestinal health, which is closely related to the body’s ability for efficient food metabolism.
