What is The Sirtfood Diet Plan about?
Sirtfood diet basically involves wonder foods rich in an element called polyphenols, which “switches on” the sirtuin. Sirtuins are a group of proteins known as Silent Information Regulators which boosts health, metabolism and delays the signs of ageing. Since it boosts the metabolism, it helps to burn fat and having a diet of sirtfoods leads to incredible weight loss.
