Stubborn Belly Fat? 7 Proven Ways To Lose It by balash(m): 3:43pm On Oct 26, 2016 |
Everybody wants a flat stomach, but even people who have flat abs have some fat in their belly. A flat stomach is very hard to achieve let alone a completely fat-less belly. Sometimes this fat cannot be taken care of with exercising. Fat can be very harmful to your health at times if it grows deep underneath your skin, close to your heart, lungs, liver and other organs. This fat is called visceral fat and it can be very harmful even for thin people. Let’s see how we can achieve the pear-shaped body easily by following a few simple lifestyle changes. 7. Stress Stress is one of the main reasons behind belly fat. Handling stress properly and relaxing your body is really important if you want to get rid of belly fat. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to lose excess fat and try spending stress-free quality time with friends and family. Also, you can blow off some steam by exercising and getting some counseling can be a great idea as well. It will help prevent any more fat from building up in your body. 6. Sleep There is nothing more helpful than a sound sleep when it comes to losing belly fat. Six to eight hours of sound sleep every day and truly work miracles in achieving a flat stomach. Lack of sleep makes you crave sugar and it builds up more fat. Moreover, it has been scientifically proven that people who get sound sleep every day gained less visceral fat over 5 years than those who did not get enough sleep. 5. Sugar Avoiding sugar or artificially sweetened beverages is a must as they have harmful effect of your metabolic system. You have to develop a healthy eating habit with lots of fruits, proteins, vegetables and whole grains. You can start eating sweet snacks to cover the sugar cravings of your body. Cinnamon is a very good choice for balancing your sugar level. Cut back on liquid sugar as our brain registers liquid sugar as solid calories and it all stores in our body as belly fat. 4. Exercise Interval training is a great way to lose belly fat. You can try doing short bursts of intensive exercise instead of spending a long time doing the same exercise. Intensive exercise may include squats, crunches, lunges, running, etc. Aerobics is another great exercise for burning belly fat. It is also very effective when you have lost the belly fat and now trying to maintain the fat to a minimum level. It helps you from regaining abdominal fat after weight loss. Exercise will also help to reduce inflammation, blood sugar levels and other metabolic characteristics that lead to belly fat. 3. Water Drinking plenty of water can work miracles when it comes to losing belly fat. Also, if you maintain certain lifestyle routine it can become more effective. Your aim would be to drink about 8 ounces of water each day. It will help your body to burn the fat more efficiently and you can see the changes in no time. Additionally, try sipping a cup of hot water about 10 minutes before and after every meal to burn belly fat easily. Drinking ginger water also helps remove harmful toxins from the body and reduce belly fat. 2. Citrus Fruits Vitamin C helps balance cortisol in your body that generates the belly fat when you are under stress. Include more citric fruits in your diet to control the fat level in your stomach. Vitamin C is also important for making carnitine in your body which helps burn excess fat. Try eating the fruit straight instead of making juice. You can try drinking lemon mint water every day to slim down your belly fat. 1. Diet A healthy diet is the most important of all when it comes to burning and controlling belly fat. Stop skipping meals and eat every few hours. Make sure your diet is rich in proteins, whole grains, fibers but make sure to keep them low on sugar and carbs. Skipping meals will only add to your cravings and make you eat more. Intake of more viscous fiber will help prevent build up of fat in your body.
