Young or old, most of us at some time in our lives will have
to deal with excess stomach fat. The younger generation of today seem to be
greatly affected with this problem mainly due to their unhealthy diets
consisting of fast foods and sugar loaded soda drinks.
In general most fast foods contain too much fat and sodium,
an unhealthy combination that can lead to Heart Disease and raised Blood
Pressure.
However not all fast foods are necessarily 'bad'. Being more
informed can lead you to making healthier choices such as grilled or roasted
chicken meals which have the lowest sodium and fat content and less calories
than many other fast food options.
In general, fat on the stomach is due to a combination of
over eating and lack of exercise. Food is the central focus of advice by many
experts on this subject.
The food choices we make are responsible for most of the fat
accumulated on the stomach area. Commonly referred to as visceral fat and
considered the most dangerous type as it wraps around the internal organs which
can lead to a number of serious health issues.
Being aware of the health risks we are exposing ourselves to
should be the only wake up call needed to make significant healthy changes to
our current diet and fitness lifestyle. Changes that in effect will improve
well being and promote fat burning within the body.
How to get a flat stomach without implementing changes to
your current diet will be extremely difficult.
Diet
The first step you need to take is to create a new healthy
balanced diet plan consisting of Natural Organic Foods. Lean Meats, Leafy Green
Vegetables Oatmeal, Fresh Berries, Nuts and Raw Seeds are only a few examples
to include.
However boring it may sound, be assured these fat burning
foods will not only get you the results that you desire quickly, but you may
find that you are already eating many of them already. It is just a question of
removing the bad foods in your current diet and replacing them with foods that
will get the fat burning furnace in the body up and running effectively to burn
calories.
These foods are effective in reinforcing the immune system,
eliminating toxins from the body and as a result you will find you have more
energy to burn calories and your quality of sleep will be greatly improved.
With a healthy diet in place the next step is to introduce
exercise into your daily routine to help tone and firm the core muscles. Create
a 20 minute workout routine consisting of Bicycle Crunches, Sit Ups and Cardio
exercises.
You can choose to work out every day if you wish but three
20 minute sessions per week is sufficient to achieve results. Make exercising a
fun activity that you actually look forward to. Workout to your favorite music,
time passes quickly when you are having fun. Change your routine frequently to
avoid getting bored and before you know it you will have the perfect flat
stomach you wished for.
