A few days ago, the team of Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University Hospital found that obesity is related to antioxidant genes. When the speed of antioxidant genes in the body is high, it will accelerate the decomposition of fat cells and prevent obesity. Antioxidants will not kill or reduce the number of fat cells in test tubes, but they will prevent fat cells from producing triglycerides. Antioxidants found in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, tea and red wine can repair fat cells, avoid obesity to some extent, and are beneficial to heart health.
However, there is no relevant research on how much fruits and vegetables should be eaten to achieve the effect of anti-oxidation and not getting fat. However, nutritionist Zhao suggested in his new book "Calorie Slimming is the Trap of the Century" that we should grasp the principle of "3 dishes and 2 fruits" every day, that is, we should eat 300 grams of vegetables and 2 fist fruits every day, and we should not replace fruits with vegetables, so we must choose fruits and vegetables of various colors.

Sweet pepper is bright in color, which can make people feel happy and eat raw! Contains vitamin C, flavonoids and anthocyanins, which can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity and have anti-inflammatory effects.
4. Green tea:
Green tea is rich in catechins. Clinically, it has been proved that tea polyphenols are helpful to improve the antioxidant capacity of human body, have anti-cancer effect and contribute to fat decomposition. It is recommended to drink fresh herbal tea before meals, because catechins will be destroyed by heat. However, because green tea contains theophylline, it suggests that people with ulcers are not suitable for eating.
5. Cattle tomatoes:
Cattle tomato is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C and lycopene, which helps to lower cholesterol and improve the antioxidant function of human body. Lycopene and oil can help absorption.

6. Carrots:
Carrots are rich in dietary fiber and carotenoids, which can not only regulate gastrointestinal function, but also improve antioxidant capacity. Because carotenoids are oil-soluble, they are better absorbed when eaten with oil. In addition, carotenoids can easily make the skin yellow, so eating a carrot in moderation every day can be avoided.
