Complications of belly fat and ways to reduce belly fat!

Reducing belly fat is one of the top-most concerns for almost everyone today. In this video we will share some easy go to ways to reduce belly fat that can be beneficial to reduce belly fat in middle age, after delivery and also after c-section.

When does reducing belly fat become more of a concern?

As young adults, women on average have less belly fat than men. This changes with menopause. In middle-aged women, the fat is stored more in the upper body region: over the hips and thighs. You might not see any actual weight gain, but your waistline could have grown by inches.

Belly fat can lead to certain chronic diseases like:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Dementia
• Asthma
• Breast cancer
• Colorectal cancer

Simple ways to Reduce Belly Fat

You cannot change your birth weight or your genes, and you cannot prevent menopause. But still there are several ways that can minimize the accumulation of belly fat. The good news is that diet and exercise both modifiable factors respond very well because belly fat is more readily metabolized into fatty acids as compared to the fat on the hips and thighs.

4 Effective way Include in your routine to Reduce Belly Fat:

1. Exercise: Exercise helps reduce your waist circumference. Even if you don't lose weight, you lose belly fat and gain muscle mass. Engage in at least 30 minutes of exercise at a casual pace on most days, such as brisk walking or bicycling. You can also add movement to your routine by these small tips: park your vehicle away from the destination and walk the rest of the way, take the stairs instead of lifts, and stand/ walk and talk on phone.
2. Eat right: Always prefer a balanced diet that helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Focus more on intake of fruits and vegetables, pulses, nuts and seeds. Avoid foods that encourage belly fat deposition, especially foods and beverages with added sugars.
3. Do not smoke: Smoking is responsible for storing fat in your abdomen. Never indulge in such practices.
4. Sleep only as required: Sleeping less than 5 hours or more than 8 hours, both are responsible for accumulating belly fat. Sleep for around 6 to 8 hours to reduce belly fat.

Forget the quick fix. Liposuction for cosmetic fat removal does not reach inside the abdominal wall.

Don't the ways look easy to go ahead with? No medicines - No surgeries. Just a little modification in the daily routine can bring a real change.
