1) Leafy greens, mushrooms, seeds, nuts and beans: There is a connection between these copper-rich foods and fat metabolism. Our bodies do not make copper and hence we need to supplement our body with it through diet. Copper is also found in oysters and other shellfish. According to lead researcher Chris Chang, professor University of California Berkeley, who studied the effect of copper, copper is essential for breaking down fat cells so that they can be used for energy and that copper acts as a regulator, so the more copper there is, the more the fat is broken down. Do not replace these natural foods with copper supplements as an excess of copper can lead to imbalances with other minerals like zinc, says the research. Our daily requirement for copper is about 700 micrograms per day.
