HAVE WHOLE FOODS
Around 80% of your grocery shopping cart should include whole foods like fruits and vegetables. Avoid processed food as much as possible.
PLANKS
Planking may seem hard but is an effective way to target lower belly fat. A consistent routine is what you need to get started.
CORE EXERCISE
Working on our core from all angles is important because everything in our body is essentially connected. Focusing only on your abs may not give you desired results.
HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE
One way to target lower belly fat is to perform high-intensity exercise twice a week. Keep in mind this is a relative term and consult an expert before you start doing it.
NO ALCOHOL
Alcohol consumption can contribute to belly fat as they are calorie dense. It is quickly absorbed to the bloodstream, thereby releasing more insulin and in turn making the body store fats.
KEEP CHECKING HORMONES
Underlying hormone imbalances can also be the culprit behind your stubborn belly fat. Check if you have excess cortisol or estrogen levels.
SAY NO TO SODAS
Sodas and sweetened beverages are a serious threat. They contain no fibre or nutrients and cause more insulin release, which in turn makes the body store fats.
SLEEP PROPERLY
Your sleep schedule can impact your waistline. Atleast 7 hours of sleep is needed to prevent excess belly fat. Further when we are awake for longer hours, stress hormones can make us hungrier.
