For many people, the tummy is a part of their body that tends to hold a lot of weight. For many people, it is genetic, and for others, there is a combination of factors. People who are a little rounder in the middle are at risk of things like diabetes – so even if your main goal isn’t weight loss but instead just reducing the risk of illness, here are some belly-busting tips for you.
What are you eating?
Despite what you might think and what other people say – not every diet will fit every person. And more specifically, women go through many hormone changes in just the space of 30 days. Some days, you are prone to bloating; others, you might feel quite slinky.
Some days, you need to eat a little more, and other days, you don’t. So, when it comes to your diet, it is a good idea to speak to a nutritionist who specializes in women or has experience with things like PCOS.
If you can’t afford a private consultation, then look for some of the online experts who share tips freely and see what might apply to you.
You need a balanced diet as a starting point. Still, there are also some supplements and vitamins that can help, including zinc, magnesium, green tea, B12, cardarine solution, CLA, glucomannan, and vitamin D.
Stress Reduction
Did you know that one of the biggest fights against belly fat is lowering your stress levels? High stress levels pack the body with cortisol, and cortisol forces the body to hold on to fat – most specifically on the stomach. This means that even with a great diet and a good workout every few days, you are going to see the results on your stomach.
So, for many people, the first thing that they need to do when they want to work specifically on the stomach area is tackling stress levels.
Yoga, long walks, and doing creative things are all great for reducing stress levels – and they’re a lot of fun, too! Bonus!
Keep in mind that you can’t target one area to burn fat off; it moves from different places at different times during your fitness journey, but you can work specific muscle groups that can help.
Water & Fiber
For many people, they don’t realize just how bloated they are – because after a while, you get used to how it feels. Many people hold on to a lot of water and might be bloated due to a slow metabolism and digestive tract.
Increasing your fiber can help your digested food move along quicker, and you are likely to see a noticeable reduction in how bloated you look and feel. It’s not strictly belly fat, but being bloated is no fun and certainly adds more than a couple of inches to the waistline.
That’s not all, though! One of the things that often don’t come up in discussion is how much of an impact inflammation can have: How Much Inflammation Affects Weight Loss? Some Tips to Be Fitter!
