Three main and scary health benefits of removing unnecessary belly fat are the prevention of serious illnesses such as breast cancer, diabetes and heart disease. It has no bearing either on how you get the fat around your mid-section either. Whether it's another health problem, or just plain overeating it will have an effect on your good health at some point in your life.
It's not just how a fat mid section looks that people are now attempting to lose their excess pounds, but it's also because of the health risks that carrying extra weight has on the internal organs. The good news is there are simple steps you can take in order to reduce the amount of extra weight that's lining your belly.
A strategy that is getting more attention is the choices of food people eat. No longer do we live in the times when the diet experts were telling you just to reduce your calories. We now know that eating less no longer works, and can in fact make you fatter.
Now everyone realizes that getting a correct balance of all types of food is the key to losing weight. This includes eating fat and carbohydrates which most diet experts will tell you to avoid or cut out completely. Healthy fats such as omega 3's are an important part of a healthy diet, and they can help your body break down bad fats.
Carbohydrates are another food that a lot of dietitians now encourage you to eliminate. Carbohydrates are essential like any other food. They supply you with energy and prevent your muscles from shrinking. When your muscles start getting smaller your metabolism slows down, and then you'll put on weight.
Apart from eating a healthy balanced diet, exercise is imperative for losing weight, and reducing stomach fat. Cardio should be performed at least 4 times a week for at least half an hour. Depending on your size and the amount of effort you put in an hour of quality cardio can burn up to 1000 calories. If you can do 4 sessions a week that's an extra 4000 calories burnt off. That could be almost 2 days worth of eating being burned off in just a few hours.
If it's possible you should also do some resistance training where you're lifting weights. If you can increase the size of your muscles you can raise the speed of your metabolism. Once you increase the speed of your metabolism your body will burn more calories even when you're resting which will help your stomach get flatter.
Exercise has lots of other benefits such as making you stronger, fitter and it also strengthens your heart.
Just eating healthy and adding some exercise to your weekly routine will get you a flatter stomach and add years to your life. - 16650
