As we leave behind 2021, and welcome 2022 in a couple of weeks, it will not be easy to analyse how we fared at health and wellness front this year. While some of us were proud of the lifestyle choices they made by sticking to mostly home-cooked and nutritious food, many of us regretted becoming screen addicts and putting ourselves at a grave risk of many health issues triggered by sedentary lifestyle.

Morning walks and fitness routines were re-introduced in our lives after easing of restrictions, but we continued to stay largely at home managing work, home and our kids' online classes together with high stress levels.

Wellness trends in 2021 primarily showed how people's idea of staying fit and healthy shifted in diverse ways - from gymming to yoga and meditation, from rushed eating to mindful eating and from fad diets to sustainable weight loss.

A look at some popular wellness trends that made a lot of waves in 2021:

1. Mindful eating

Mindful eating is the latest wellness trend that is being embraced by people who have realised the importance of these golden 15-20 minutes that one spends on eating meals staying in the present moment and relishing every bite.

Being mindful of what you are eating makes a great difference in not just making the right food choices but also reduction of stress levels.

"Mindful eating is a conscious awareness of the food and drink that we consume on daily basis. When we are aware of how food makes us feel, we choose the right food," says nutritionist Preeti Seth, Founder of Pachouli.

"Most of us are physically distancing ourselves from the world and turning to food for companionship. Binge-eating while binge-watching our favourite shows along with minimal physical activity is bound to result in weight gain and none of us want that. It takes more than self-control to avoid overeating," says Jyotika Diwan, Nutritionist and Diet Advisor.

2. Sustainable weight loss

While they could not step outsides their homes, 2021 gave people an opportunity to choose the food that helped them lose weight over a period of time, instead of quick weight loss diets that did more harm than good.

"One of the major problems with FAD diets is they cause nutritional deficiencies along with major hormonal imbalances which negatively impact hormonal health and metabolism. People are waking up to the fact the FAD diets are quick fixes which can backfire if not adhered to," says Palki Chopra Dietician & Weight Loss Expert (Nutritious Bites)

The dietician says that people have found the right food wisdom in their grandmothers kitchen after navigating through many weight loss plans and are exploring the age-old formulas of a sustainable and healthy lifestyle.

Having plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grain, seeds, nuts, legumes and limiting added sugars, saturated fats and processed food can make you lose weight sustainably.

3. Desi superfoods

Moving over broccoli and kale, people are increasingly realising the power of desi superfoods as they are stocking their kitchen with ghee, amla, ragi, makhana, spices and herbs.

"The moment we read the term 'superfoods', we immediately imagine broccoli, blueberries, kale, quinoa and olive oil. But, not anymore, because our local Indian traditional foods have been granted the superfood status and are now being sold and valued all over the world. These are ghee, amla, Ragi, makhana, turmeric, jau, curd, spices and jackfruit. Our grandmothers always used each one of these superfoods in their kitchen, but they were forgotten once we embraced the western culture. However, their gaining superfood status all over the world now has helped in boosting their sale all over," says Sonia Bakshi, Nutritionist & Founder of DtF.

4. Meditation

During the unpredictable pandemic times when people were highly stressed and extremely confused about what to do next, millions of people resorted to spiritual practices like yoga. The practice of yoga and meditation is believed to provide clarity to the mind and manage anxiety levels.

"The virus taught us that life can be extremely unpredictable and it is better for us to be prepared for any kind of challenge that may present itself. Meditation has helped many people to improve their mental well-being during lockdown, and social isolation even while they were suffering from risk of personal and financial losses. More and more studies prove to us the importance of practices like yoga in order to improve not only physical health but also our overall wellness quotient. Therefore it is crucial to make meditation part of our everyday life and to be able to reap the benefits of these productive practices during times of crisis," says renowned Yoga Guru Grand Master Akshar.

5. Intermittent fasting

We saw how Bharti Singh lost oodles of weight with intermittent fasting when she found out she was at risk of diabetes. Intermittent fasting involves different eating patterns where you have cycles between eating and fasting. There are various kinds of intermittent fasting. Under 16:8 method, you fast for 16 hours at a stretch and eat between the window of 8 hours, while in 5:2 method, you eat normal diet for 5 days and go on a strict diet for 2 days.

There are researches that show that the diet helps with insulin resistance, reduces oxidative stress, inflammation and prevents against diseases, says Meghana Pasi, nutrition expert, My Thali program, Arogya World.

"The advantage of intermittent fasting over other fad diets is that it tells you when to eat and not what to eat," says Pasi.

The holidays are HERE! Just when we are finally getting our weight under control, boom! Food is everywhere. From the office to meetings, from home to the local restaurants (not to mention parties and family events), it seems as if the Thanksgiving-to-New Years holiday season is one long, tempting food fest designed to make us gain weight. Add in the emotions of the season and the holidays can deal our weight loss efforts a double whammy.

Weve got the stress of the holidays, along with lack of sleep, and, for many of us, a variety of bubbling emotions that come to the surface AND weve got all this food calling our name everywhere we turn. It can become quite complicated for those who have a chronic issue such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and even for those who have no serious health issues the overwhelming amount of holiday foods may cause problems controlling what we eat.

The good news is that it is possible to keep the holiday food fests from ruining our weight loss plans, maintaining our weight or over indulging. One of the best ways to start, experts say, is by discovering what our personal holiday overeating cues really are. Though it may seem as if the temptation to overeat is all wrapped up in those homemade goodies, just being around more scrumptious food isnt the whole story. One recent study indicated that, for most of us, the drive to overeat at any time of the year is brought on more by emotions than environmental cues. Food does more than fill our stomachs it also satisfies feelings. Whenever we eat for reasons other than hunger, is called emotional eating and this can be one of the reasons for weight gain. Eating to feed-a-feeling and not a growling stomach is emotional eating. So heres what we need to know. There are several differences between emotional hunger and physical hunger:

Emotional hunger comes on suddenly; physical hunger occurs gradually.

When we eat to fill a void that isnt related to an empty stomach, we crave a specific food (pizza or ice cream) and only that food will meet our need. Or, maybe not. When we eat because we are actually hungry, we are open to options.

Emotional hunger feels like it needs to be satisfied instantly with the food we crave; physical hunger can wait.

Even when we are full, if we are eating to satisfy an emotional need, we are more likely to keep eating. When we are eating because we are hungry, we are more likely to stop

when we are full. Did you know it takes your brain at least 20 minutes to register that our stomachs are full?

Emotional eating can also leave behind feelings of guilt; eating when we are physically hungry does not.

Even though strong emotions can trigger cravings for food, we can take steps to control those cravings. One of the strategies would be to become mindful. Notice what is in your hand, notice what is on your plate portion control, and pay attention to what you are eating. The key is to put limits on how much you will consume, and then stick to your plan. Another tip is to learn to recognize true hunger and know your triggers. Dont keep unhealthy foods around, snack healthy, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly and get plenty of rest. Tasty food and holiday gatherings go hand in hand. But its time to get it right!

Food is a basic human need; we cant live without it. Learning how to control emotional eating and using moderation are keys in moving toward a healthier lifestyle. In other words, take care of yourself rather than letting food do it for you.

Emotional eating, tips on how to beat holiday weight gain - Laurinburg Exchange

Three generations of the Kim family have ruled North Korea with absolute authority since 1948, and analysts say the regime has used carefully crafted images to ensure their power.

Outsiders regard Kim as a ruthless tyrant with an undying obsession about developing the countrys nuclear weapons, even at the cost of starving the population. But North Koreas tightly-controlled state media shows something softer: Kim caressing weeping orphans, being mobbed by gushing female soldiers, or smiling broadly on a mound of potatoes.

The images that the regime chooses to disseminate and weave into Kims hagiography say a lot about how Kim envisions North Koreas future and his place in it, wrote Jung Pak, now a US deputy assistant secretary of state, in a 2018 report before she took up her current post.

In his frequent public appearances, Kim is seen giving guidance at various economic, military, and social venues, just as his father and grandfather did. In marked contrast, he is also shown pulling weeds, riding rollercoasters, operating a tank, or galloping on a horse.

Kim appears to want to reinforce the impression that he is young, vigorous, on the move qualities that he attributes to his country as well, Pak said in the Brookings Institution report.

Carefully crafted photographs and films were a universal part of politics to win public support, said Michael Madden, fellow at the Stimson Center, but Pyongyangs propaganda had different motives.

In North Korea, it is not a matter of being responsive to public opinion, but influencing how citizens view or regard the leadership.

Image was particularly important to Kim when he was rushed into power after the death of his father Kim Jong-il on 17 December 2011, said Jean Lee, senior fellow at the Wilson Center. He inherited leadership at a time when he was young and a virtual unknown to his own people. Madden added that the regime launched an emulation campaign early on, with the young leader adopting the clothing and haircut of his grandfather, North Koreas founder Kim Il-sung.

The striking resemblance between the two even fuelled international speculation that the younger Kim intentionally put on weight to increase the likeness. The strategy was to cast him as a modern reincarnation of his much-beloved grandfather in looks, personality and policy to justify his right to rule, Lee said.

Kims weight which rose significantly after he took power before dropping sharply this year has regularly prompted questions about his health.

But analysts say that images carried by North Koreas official KCNA news agency or the Rodong Sinmun newspaper have a wider purpose beyond aesthetics.

In October 2019, North Korean media published pictures of Kim riding a white horse through a winter landscape to the summit of the sacred Mount Paektu. The motif has been recurrent in images of Kims predecessors but some North Korea watchers saw the pictures as a signal for a new policy direction.

They came during stalled US-North Korea talks after a failed second summit between Kim and the then US president, Donald Trump, and Madden described them as anti-imperialist imagery. The photos carried the message that North Korea will not be pushed around or intimidated by big power countries, he added.

Impoverished North Korea is under international sanctions over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes, and has long suffered chronic food shortages. The country is facing its worst economic crisis for years, hit by both sanctions and its self-imposed coronavirus blockade.

In recent months, pictures of the leader have shown his acute weight loss, playing into Kims image of being more accountable to the people, according to Jenny Town, senior fellow at the Stimson Center. The official Korean Central Television aired a rare interview with an unnamed citizen saying the people were heartbroken over the change in his physique and that everyone just started to cry at the sight of Kim.

The images were aimed at showing that sacrifices are being made at a time of hardship for the country, Town said but added that their effectiveness was unknown.

Oatmeal is a timeless, healthy breakfast choice full of fiber and protein, and there are endless possibilities for making your own personalized creation.

Oatmeal is also specifically great for weight loss goals because not only does its fiber content help with your digestion, but it also keeps you full for longer periods of time throughout the morning. Many nutrition experts recommend stocking up on steel-cut oats or rolled oats, but we all know that instant oats are a favorite amongst shoppers due to their convenience.

While they're the quickest and easiest oatmeal option, not all instant oatmeal packets will support your health goals in the same way.

According to Laura Burak, MS, RD, author of Slimdown with Smoothies, and founder of Laura Burak Nutrition, the best type of instant oatmeal to buy is anything that comes plain, so that you can add in your own ingredients.

"Instead of choosing sugary sweet instant oatmeal packs, buy any plain version you can find and doctor it up yourself with fruit, fiber, and added protein like nut butter and seeds," says Burak.

Continue reading to learn more about how you can make instant oatmeal to meet your weight loss goals, and for more healthy eating tips make sure to check out 6 Oatmeal Habits That Help With Weight Loss.

The key when it comes to choosing a healthier instant oatmeal is avoiding the types that come with extra added sugar, especially because "most instant oatmeals on the market are full of added sugar, colors, other artificial flavors," says Burak.

For example, it may seem fun to buy something like Quaker's Instant Oatmeal with Dinosaur Eggs, but this comes loaded with 11 grams of added sugar per serving. And even something a bit tamer, like Quaker's Cinnamon and Spice, comes with 10 grams of added sugar per serving as well.

Choosing a plain instant oatmeal may not seem as fun at first, but with zero grams of added sugar, it gives you the freedom to add your favorite toppings and ingredients while being able to control your portions.

Caffeine is an intense metabolism booster. But is weight loss coffee for real? Can you really drink coffee and lose weight? The answer is yes, you can drink coffee and lose weight, but theres a catch.

A regular cup of joe does not have enough caffeine to provide you with a metabolism boost strong enough to continue burning fat. But now you can turn it into a potent fat burner with Java Burn.

Java Burn is a Coffee creamer fat burner that makes Weight Loss Coffee a reality. It works like a coffee creamer, but it blunts your appetite and boosts your metabolism for the rest of the day.

Toss a spoonful into your morning cup of coffee. Its flavorless. If anything, it makes the drink seem creamier, akin to a creamer. Then you just carry on with your day and leave Java Burn to handle the rest.

It sounds fantastic. Is it, however, as simple as it is made out to be?

Well find out today in our updated Java Burn review. If youve been wondering whether and how this weight loss coffee fat burner will help you, this will be an eye opener.

Java Burn The Coffee Creamer Fat Burner (Current Bestseller)

Java Burn is a powdered fat burner that you add to your coffee in the morning and it revs up your metabolism for the rest of the day. It contains a blend of natural ingredients, but contains no caffeine itself.

The caffeine comes from the coffee that you add it to, which amplifies the results of the actual fat burning blend in the fat burner. When blended with coffee, Java Burn turns regular Joe into weight loss Joe.

Now, to be fair, this sounds gimmicky. But its actually a very smart delivery system for a bunch of proven fat burning ingredients. One of the common gripes that a lot of users, women in particular, have with thermogenic fat burners is that it can cause jitters and tremors.

This happens generally because of stimulants present in the formula, which can be a bit too much for some people. Java Burn circumvents this issue by incorporating the stimulant into coffee instead of as a standalone pill.

This way, you get all of the benefits of the stimulant without any of the unpleasant side effects.

Since there are a lot of exaggerated and hyped fat burners in the industry, its important to know that this is not another overpriced gimmick.

Thats why we will take an in-depth look at the ingredients in Java Burn and how they all work together to create a powerful fat burning effect.

AMPK or AMP-activated protein kinase, is an enzyme that is naturally found in our bodies. It functions as a fuel gauge for the cell and stimulates fat burning when activated by caffeine or other stimulants.

This is the same mechanism that leads to muscle growth after weight training, which makes AMPK one of the most desirable functions that any supplement can have.

Java Burn contains a high dose of AMPK activating ingredients, which is why it works so well when combined with coffee.

Lipases are enzymes that break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Inhibiting lipase means that the fat cells will not be able to break down any fats for energy.

When lipase is inhibited, the fat cells will swell up and retain even more of the fat that would otherwise be broken down into fatty acids. This leads to enhanced fat burning across all areas of the body including the tummy, butt, thighs and midsection .

Thermogenesis is a catchall phrase for the bodys natural ability to produce heat. The heat comes from the energy that is released during the oxidation of fat.

Thermogenesis has multiple benefits, such as burning up calories and increasing metabolism so that you can burn more calories per day. Since coffee enhances thermogenesis, its a great addition to any weight loss formula.

Java Burn contains multiple ingredients that contribute towards its ability to stimulate thermogenesis.

When you are on a fat burning diet, one of the main challenges is to resist temptation. You want to avoid all of those cravings that drive you towards unhealthy food choices. The thing is, calories can sneak in and increase your daily intake in uncanny things.

Java Burn contains appetite suppressing ingredients that will help you cut down the number of calories that you consume in a day and also increase your bodys energy levels.

One of the most overlooked features that any good fat burner should have is the ability to expedite your bodys natural capacity for excreting lipids.

When you increase your metabolism, it will naturally burn off excess fats at a faster rate than usual. But it takes some minerals and soluble fiber to be able to expedite the excretion process.

Java Burn contains soluble fiber that will promote excretion even when you are resting. The faster your body gets rid of fat, the faster you can slim down and get leaner in all the right places .

CHECK OUT REAL TRANSFORMATIONS MADE POSSIBLE WITH JAVA BURN

Java Burn weight loss coffee contains 8 natural ingredients that have all been proven to help with weight loss. These ingredients are:

Green Coffee Beans containchlorogenic acid, which is a powerful weight loss molecule. It inhibits the release of glucose into the bloodstream, which reduces the number of calories that you absorb from food.

Not to mention that Green Coffee also contains flavonoids and polyphenols, which have been shown to reduce cholesterol levels and promote a reduction in belly fat .

This mineral is necessary for proper insulin function, which is important for controlling blood sugar levels and preventing fat storage. Chromium also plays a role in ATP synthesis, which is the process that provides energy to the cells.

L-Carnitine is an amino acid that helps the body convert fat into energy. It helps your body mobilize stored fat so that it can be burned off for energy. It also accelerates your metabolism, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.

L-Theanine is an amino acid that plays a key role in cognition and mood. When your calorie intake drops and your bodys thermogenesis increases, you can experience feelings of anxiety and stress. L-Theanine helps to offset these negative effects and keep you feeling calm and focused .

Both these B-Vitamins play an important role in ATP synthesis. Its when your body needs energy that these B-Vitamins are called into action. Theyre responsible for ensuring that your body can produce the energy it needs, so you will experience less fatigue throughout the day .

This vitamin binds to receptors in your muscles and cells where it regulates how the genes are expressed. Vitamin D helps to increase the expression of genes that are associated with thermogenesis and energy production. It also helps to suppress the expression of genes that are responsible for fat storage .

Green Tea Extract has been shown to increase thermogenesis and metabolic rate, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day. And thats important because it will help you limit your calorie intake without feeling too hungry .

It contains EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate),which is acatechin that is found in green tea. This molecule has been shown to be incredibly effective for weight loss and it can help you lose weight without diet or exercise .

Lets discuss about the real world benefits of Java Burn Weight Loss Coffee. What difference will it make to your body in terms of aesthetics, functionality and overall health?

Here are some benefits you can expect:

Java Burn will help you to mobilize stored fat so that it can be burned off for energy. It also helps to increase your metabolic rate, meaning youll burn more calories all day long .

Java Burn contains ingredients that have been shown to reduce cholesterol levels. This is important because high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease.

Java Burn contains ingredients that have anti-inflammatory properties. So it can help to reduce chronic inflammation in your body, which is responsible for numerous diseases including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

One of the main benefits of Java Burn is that it helps to boost energy levels. This is because it helps your body to produce more ATP, which is the energy currency of the cells. So youll have more energy to exercise, work and function normally.

Cognition is vital for everyday tasks such as memory, concentration and focus. Java Burn helps to improve cognitive function because it contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that plays a key role in cognition and mood.

When your calorie intake drops and your bodys thermogenesis increases, you can experience feelings of anxiety and stress. Java Burn helps to offset these negative feelings by regulating your cortisol levels and calming you down.

Every natural fat burner, according to the internet, is completely side effect free. Thats pure nonsense. Every dietary supplement that you dont consume on a daily basis has the potential to cause negative effects.

It may be so slight that you wont even notice it in most situations. There are no free rides, though. Even a simple multivitamin can cause some side effects.

With respect to Java Burn, the side effects can be caused by the caffeine and green tea extracts. Heres how:

If youre not used to caffeine and green tea extracts, there is a chance that it will cause side effects such as nausea, jitteriness and irritability . However, these symptoms are generally caused by the body adjusting to higher levels of these ingredients.

Some people also experience an upset tummy because of the caffeine and green tea extracts. Again, this is usually caused by the body adjusting to the new ingredients.

Occasionally, people can also experience a headache after taking Java Burn. This is usually because of the thermogenesis and the resulting metabolism boost.

The Weight Loss Coffee Thats Breaking The Internet - Inter Press Service

Rebel Wilson is having her moment, and it seems she's not going anywhere anytime soon. The Australian star spent this past year filming a new movie, writing a children's book, and shedding over 75 pounds.

The internet has been going crazy over Wilson's transformation, and the craze continued this past week when she posted a photo on her Instagram from the Australian Academy Awards wearing a stunning little black dress.

Her fans showed their support in her comment section, with many of them acknowledging their love for the actress at any body weight she chooses: "Just to be clear, you've always been stunning," and "you've always been beautiful, at any size!"

This wasn't the only photo Wilson shared with her fans in her black Balmain dress that week. She also posed with Succession star Sarah Snook and posted another photo outside of the Sydney Opera House where the awards were hosted.

Wilson's weight loss journey has been extraordinary to witness and has been an encouragement for so many others out there trying to do the same. And although she's happy where she is and seems to be glowing in every photo she posts online, Wilson has also been open about the real reason she feels so good about her accomplishments.

Wilson recently told The Daily Telegraph, "For the first time in my life, I've lost weight and maintained it. I'm more proud of that fact. It worked because it was the whole lifestyle approach and dealing withemotional eating. I'm not totally cured. I don't think you can be. But I've learned to manage itand it's not by reaching for a bowl of ice cream."

An essential worker who was told her five-month-long cough was probably due to COVID found out the truth was much worse.

Chloe Girardier, 23, claims she was initially denied an in-person doctors appointment, only to later discover she hadcancer.

The care home worker, from England, said: Its so hard to get appointments; they kept telling me I wasnt eligible for an urgent appointment because it was just a cough.

There were multiple times people asked if I had tested for COVID and it was frustrating because other illnesses still exist and a cough isnt just a sign of COVID.

I felt people would stare at me when I coughed and people instantly assumed I must have COVID.

Chloe, who had worked in the aviation industry before COVID hit,believed she had contracted a cold in July after experiencing a chesty cough.

After struggling to get a doctors appointment, she says she was given antibiotics, inhalers, and acid reflux tablets to no avail.

Seven doctors appointments later, Chloe noticed she was losing weight.

She demanded a chest X-ray to discover what was causing her continuous cough.

It was then that doctors found a mass on Chloes chest measuring 4.25 inches, leading to a cancer diagnosis on December 3.

Chloe was told she had Hodgkin lymphoma, a rare cancer of the lymphatic system that causessymptomssuch as a persistent cough,itchy skin, weight loss, night sweats and a fever.

Medics have scheduled her in for intensive chemotherapy on December 20, just a few days before Christmas.

Chloe said: Im putting a complaint in to my doctors because I think Ive been fobbed off for a long time due to my age.

I had heard about this kind of cancer before because I knew someone who had had it and luckily, its one of the easiest cancers to treat, so Im confident Ill make a full recovery.

I had no lumps or any other noticeable signs apart from the continuous cough.

When I started losing weight in October, thats when I really pushed for answers because it was noticeable to everyone around me.

I cant believe it wasnt looked into further and if I hadnt pushed for the chest X-ray, I may still not have a diagnosis.

Now, because Ive been diagnosed so late, Ill have to have my chemotherapy a few days before Christmas.

Chloe was devastated after receiving her diagnosis but wants to raise awareness for other young people to push for answers if they have a feeling something is wrong.

She added: Its been dragged on so long because of my age.

Even the doctors were saying it was strange that I had a cough for such a long time, but they werent looking into it.

Chloe had just bought a house with her partner, Jack Dunn, 24, and wishes doctors had found out about the cancer sooner.

She said: If doctors had found it quicker, I wouldnt need such intense chemo.

Ive prepared myself for the chemo but the hardest part for me is going to be losing my hair.

I do my hair every morning and dont leave the house without mascara, so losing all my hair is going to be tough.

Ive had to be signed off from work for three months as it has been a really difficult time.

This cancer couldve been caught three months earlier and Im just lucky its this type of cancer and not one that progresses really quickly.

Chloes family are fundraising for a real hair wig for Chloe after her chemotherapy onGoFundMe.

Canned soup may not be the most glamorous of foods, but there's nothing more convenient than the heat-and-eat ease of opening a can on a busy weeknight or for a workday lunch. Canned soups keep in your pantry for ages, so even if you're all out of fresh ingredients, having a few options on hand might keep you from grabbing less-than-nutritious takeout. If you're looking to lose weight, their combination of convenience and lengthy shelf life is a major plus.

In fact, even though canned soups get a bad rap for their high sodium content, the right options can be surprisingly healthynot to mention weight loss-friendly. As a nutritionist, I'm always happy to share my tips on selecting the one that'll help, not hinder, your weight loss goals.

First, you'll want to keep your eye on a few specific line items on the nutrition facts label, starting with calories per serving. Though calorie counting can be an overly restrictive weight loss strategy, calories do, of course, matter. My advice: look for a canned soup with about 400 calories per can or less. For most people, this is enough to make soup feel like a real meal.

While it may seem like calories per serving is the most important value to zero in on, there's more to the weight loss equation than scaling back on them. I recommend looking at a soup's content of fiber and protein, too. Studies show that a higher intake of fiber is associated with lower body weight. What's that about, you may ask? Some research shows that fiber increases feelings of fullness, which makes us eat less. Meanwhile, fiber serves as "food" for the healthy bacteria in your gut. A thriving microbiome has been linked to lower body mass index (BMI).

Getting enough protein in your diet is another key component of weight loss. Protein promotes satiety (aka feeling full) even more than carbs and fat, while also boosting the body's metabolic rate. This is where many canned soups don't deliver, however. Many are extremely low in protein, so always take a look at this entry on the nutrition label of your favorite can.

Looking for an example of a canned soup that checks all the weight loss boxes? Try a cozy bowl of Amy's Organic Split Pea Soup, Light in Sodium. With just 120 calories per cup (and 200 in the entire can), it's extremely low in caloriesso low, in fact, that you may want to supplement it with a salad or side of whole wheat bread to round out your meal. A sizable 5 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein per serving add to the pro-weight loss package.

Not only does this split pea soup make a weight loss-friendly choice, it also comes with some extra bonuses, too. One serving provides just 13% of the daily value of sodiuma far cry from many sodium-bomb canned soups you'll find on grocery shelves.

Plus, its organic ingredients are a better choice for the environment than conventionally grown ones. If you live with food allergies or intolerances, this soup can likely stay on your menu, since it's free of gluten, dairy, lactose, soy, corn, and tree nuts. Last but not least, the flavors of basil, garlic, and bay leaves make for savory sipping and spooning.

Whether weight loss is your goal or you'd just like a warm-you-up bowl of flavor, you can't go wrong with this hearty classic.
