If you have a large waist (40 inches for men and 35 inches for women is the limit), you could be sending out a mass invitation to a variety of serious health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and abnormal cholesterol.
How to get rid of belly fat?
![]() |
Eat healthy, lose weight |
- Excerise: You can tone your abdominal muscles with sit ups – but the ideal way to get rid of belly fat is cardio vascular activities that include walking, swimming, aerobics, and bicycling. Basically, you need to get your blood pumping so your body can burn off the excess fat around your tummy and other places.
- Healthy diet: Reduce your calorie intake, but stick to a balanced diet. This means including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, etc. that fill you up, but are low in fat and calories. Obviously, avoid fatty foods, fried stuff and sugary foods. You might also think of going easy on the booze as that is proven to cause abdominal fat deposits.
- Stress relief: Stress has a clear link to abdominal weight gain. So if you are always worried or stressed out, it is time to do something about it. Think relaxation techniques like yoga and other stress management methods.
Try these. They work.
It is also nice to be able to see your feet, right?
Stay healthy!
