Nutritionist Elvira Beleva said that this product contains components that have a beneficial effect on the physiological processes associated with weight loss.

People who want to lose weight do not necessarily have to exclude butter from their diet – being natural and high-quality, it, on the contrary, can help achieve the intended goal. Nutritionist Beleva told ufacitynews.ru about this.

The doctor noted that this oil contains medium-chain saturated fatty acids, which activate the body's metabolism and, as a result, increase energy expenditure – that is, fat reserves are spent more intensively on physical activity.

In addition, its use prevents the development of insulin resistance, due to which fat quickly accumulates in the body.

“When digesting butter, intestinal bacteria produce butyrate, which helps improve intestinal health and regulate metabolism. According to some studies, it also helps reduce inflammation in the body and improve insulin sensitivity,” Beleva added.
In addition, the product is a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for maintaining a healthy weight, preventing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health.

At the same time, the nutritionist emphasized that in order to lose weight, it is necessary to adhere to a balanced diet, be mindful of the calorie content of foods and regularly exercise.
