The excess calories in high-fat foods are absorbed by our bodies and stored as fat, and can cause us to gain weight over time — opening the door to obesity. Both fiber and antioxidants can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that fiber helps control weight by reducing the amount of calories our bodies absorb. It does that by nabbing calories — speeding them through our digestive system before they can be absorbed and stored as fat. Scientists have also reported that antioxidants help control weight by providing our bodies with the energy needed to burn fat more efficiently. These actions reduce the likelihood that we will gain weight and thus lower our risk of obesity.
