Nowadays, more and more women turn to vegetables and fruits to achieve the purpose of weight loss, in which cauliflower is one of the most welcomed vegetables by women. Generally speaking, there are mainly three reasons why cauliflower can help lose weight.

First, it can bring you a satiety feeling.
Cauliflower contains a large amount of water, but its heat is very low. One cauliflower only contains 23 to 32 calories. It can quickly give you a sense of satiety, which will make you not eat too much, thus can reduce the risk of obesity.

Second, it can help to relieve edema.
Edema is one of the reasons which may lead to obesity. If you want to eliminate edema, we should take in adequate nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, , and so on. Vitamin E can promote blood circulation, improve metabolism, regulate hormone secretion, thus can help to relieve edema. Vitamin C is helpful to improve the health of capillaries, and alleviate the symptoms of edema. Iron can make oxygen to be transported to various organs smoothly, and enhance basic metabolism. Molybdenum has a hematopoietic function, which can make the blood flow smoothly. These nutrients are all contained in cauliflower, so eating cauliflower can help relieve the symptom of edema, and thus achieve the purpose of weight loss.

Third, it can improve the symptom of constipation.
Cauliflower is rich in dietary fiber, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, help clear the stool, and make the waste to be discharged out of the body smoothly, so that to improve the symptoms of constipation and avoid leading to obesity.

Just as what we have discussed above, cauliflower is very helpful for weight loss. However, there are some important notices if you want to lose weight by eating cauliflower.

First, eat half to one cauliflower before the meal.
First of all, wash the cauliflower clean and cut it apart, then boil it in hot water. You can add a little salt and eat it before the meal. As when you eat cauliflower, you should chew it constantly, so it can soon give stimulation to the brain, and produce a sense of satiety, which will make you eat less food at the meal. As a result, it can make you achieve the purpose of weight loss easily.

Second, eat cauliflower with meat and eggs together.
As vitamin C can improve the absorption of iron by the body, so if you eat cauliflower together with eggs, meat, or other foods which are high in iron content, its effect of eliminating edema will be doubled. In addition, it is also a good choice to use vegetable oil to cook cauliflower, because the human body will more easily absorb the vitamin A, vitamin E and other nutrients contained in cauliflower.
