Here are some tips for a flat tummy, care to try?
1. Calm Down
Too much stress can contribute to a potbelly. Stress increases levels of cortisol, a hormone that seems to direct fat to our tummy. To keep level low, try to practise deep breathing for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice daily.
2. Skip the alcohol
That glass of beer after work or wine with dinner may be part of the reasons your jeans are too tight. Alcohol also tends to raise cortisol levels.
3. Eat more fibre
Fibre is not only great for overall weight loss (it fills you up so you don’t eat as much), it also prevents constipation, which can cause your tummy to bulge, To stay regular, aim for 25 to 35g of fibre a day by wating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
4.Keep bones strong
Osteoporosis can lead to fractured bones in your spine, causing you to slump. That shortens your abdominal cavity, giving your belly no place to go but out! If you are aged 50 and above, be sure to get 1500mg of calcium everyday.
5. Get your heart rate up
Doing abdominal exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week. It will tone up the abdominal muscles and get rid of the fats hiding beneath it.
