Dried fruits like blueberries, cranberries, figs, plums, and raisins are healthy. They help digestion and reduce inflammation. But they have high sugar, so eating too much causes weight gain. For weight loss, eat only 1–2 spoons in the morning.
For weight loss, small amount is good, large amount is bad.
For kidney health, small amount is safe. Drink enough water.
Best herbs for weight loss
Green tea, ginger, cinnamon, methi.
Best vegetables for detox
Lauki, cucumber, beetroot, spinach.
Best spices for weight loss
Turmeric, black pepper, jeera, cinnamon.
To reduce inflammation
Avoid sugar and fried food.
Use turmeric and ginger.
Walk daily.
