Quick and Easy Tips to Eliminate Belly Fat!




by Gail M. Davis


Experts agree that excess belly fat, due to menopause, too
much beer, or overindulging at the dinner table, is
significantly unhealthier than fat stored in other areas of
your body! The most dangerous thing about this abdominal
fat isn't the part that you can grab, but the deep fat
inside that is surrounding your organs. Breast cancer,
heart disease, and diabetes are just three of the many
health concerns attributed to too much belly fat. There are
simple steps that you can take to help eliminate unsightly
belly fat. The process isn't a quick one, but with
diligence and consistency, success can be achieved. We'll
discuss a few of the steps here.

There is no substitute for eating healthy foods in healthy
amounts! Make it a priority to learn about food pyramid
recommendations, nutrition fact labels, and proper portion
sizes. Study this information, commit it to memory, and
practice it on a daily basis.

Another important step would be the elimination of sweets in
general and sweet drinks in particular. Water should be the
main source of hydration and all other drinks, with the
exceptions of skim milk and unsweetened tea, should be saved
for special occasions.

By far the most important step in the elimination of belly
fat is the cardio workout! A minimum of thirty minutes each
day should be spent on an activity that makes you sweat
while huffing and puffing. Jumping rope, biking, swimming
laps, playing basketball, running, and power walking all aid
in the burning of major calories. Weight training and
target exercises are important components also, and should
be a part of the daily regime.

Medical researchers have determined that a fat belly is most
likely to develop in a stressed man of any age, and an older
stressed women. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that
you take steps to eliminate excess stress in your life!
Cortisol is a hormone that the body releases when stressed.
It is believed that this hormone encourages the storage of
fat around the abdominal area and belly. Learn relaxation
techniques, find your inner yogi, or go fishing...but do not
stress!

By following these steps, belly fat can be eliminated or
greatly reduced. Patience is imperative as it takes several
months for the body to show off the benefits of a new
program. There are other easy steps that can be taken to
deal with this condition, but these are by far the most
important ones.
