The excess weight stored around your belly doesn’t just bother your pants—it also affects your organs!
Since abdominal fat surrounds vital internal organs, it also impacts the hormones that regulate your health.
1- Combine These Foods
Almonds, apples, bananas, eggs, spinach and leafy greens, peanut butter, yogurt, legumes, oat bran, turkey and other lean meats, olive oil, red fruits.
To benefit from these foods:
- Try to include two or more in your main meals and at least one in your snacks.
- Distribute protein, carbohydrates, and fats across all your meals.
- Make sure to include a source of protein in your snacks.
2- Stay Away from Stress
When stressed, your brain increases the release of cortisol from the adrenal glands, which triggers fat accumulation in the abdominal area.
Although it varies from person to person, some tend to overeat under stress, which inevitably leads to weight gain.
3- Sleep More
If you don’t allow your body to rest with enough quality sleep, you’re supporting higher cortisol levels.
Just like stress, lack of sleep increases cortisol, which can promote belly fat gain.
4- Consume Probiotic Foods
Consuming foods containing probiotics (also known as “good bacteria”) helps regulate your gut flora, supporting a slimmer waistline.
If you often experience bloating, probiotics can also help relieve this issue.
5- Avoid Foods High in Salt and Sodium
Salt can cause digestive problems and excessive bloating.
Sodium from salt leads to water retention in the body, which results in swelling and bloating.
6- Avoid Drinks That Cause Bloating
If you think sugar-free carbonated drinks are harmless, think again.
Many people believe that calorie-free sodas have no negative effect, but the carbonation causes gas that settles in your stomach, leading to bloating.
Lastly, excessive and late-night alcohol consumption can also create those unwanted layers around your waist.
