The vegetable is perfect for adding to salads or enjoying as light snacks.

Carrot

Carrots not only benefit vision but also help reduce waist fat. They are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, which increase satiety and decrease overall calorie intake.

Carrots can be consumed raw as snacks, and cooked carrots can be included in numerous recipes like soups and salads.

Broccoli

Broccoli is abundant in fiber and contains compounds that enhance fat burning as per health news platform Healthline. Consuming broccoli can help diminish visceral fat, which accumulates around the abdomen.

This vegetable is ideal for stir-fries, salads, or soups, offering a nutritious addition of essential nutrients.

Bitter melon

White cauliflower
