Belly Fat is increasingly becoming a potential risk to our health. After Covid 2019 the world is shifting towards more work from home culture which ultimately seizes our movement and physical work. Our eating habits like fast food and sugar added drinks, stress in jobs contributes towards serious health risk and accumulates all the fat across the abdomen. So in this blog we will discuss 5 natural ways to loose belly fat and maintain good health.
What is Belly Fat and How it Occurs ?
Belly Fat is basically the visceral fat that accumulates within the abdominal cavity and it is very harmful as it surrounds the stomach and intestines in the body. It generally appears due to poor eating habits and less physical exercise.
Can we shed belly fat in a week?
Its is not easy to shed it in a week but yes in a month we can achieve a flat belly by employing following 5 natural ways:-
1. Lemon Drink
After the workout early morning drink lemon juice by squeezing 1 lemon in hot water and also add honey as a natural sweetener. This drink not only detoxifies your body but also boosts metabolism.
2. Regular Exercise
Start giving 1 hour daily to your body. If possible start exercising early in the morning like running, cycling or abs workout. Doing regular exercise maintains overall health and helps you to achieve a fit body. 15 mins running, 10 mins of cycling and 35 mins of abs workout will ultimately help you to shed a few kilos of weight in a month but these practices should continue on a daily basis. It helps you completely stretch your body, increases stamina and also improves digestion.
3. Calorie Deficit Diet
Calorie deficit diet is the way to consume the calories less than the calories burned by the body. According to some fitness experts, a 70% diet plays a role in weight loss. To lose one pound of fat in a week, you must burn 3,500 calories, which is about 500 calories a day. Burning 500 calories with exercise alone is difficult– so cutting calories in your diet is essential to shed overall weight. So you need to eat a balanced diet which includes leafy vegetables, protein-rich diet & fruits. Basically we need to add quality rather than quantity in our diet.
4. Limit Added Sugar
If you are consuming added sugar drinks then you need to stop this now coz it not only adds fat but also poses risk to diabetes. High sugar diet contributes to weight gain and also provides pathways to heart diseases. A Study has shown that individuals who consume added sugars in greater amounts have a higher risk of obesity and type-2 diabetes.
So we need to basically limit our over consumption of sugar by eating fruits, jaggery & honey which ultimately fulfill the need of sugar in our body.
5. Get Enough Sleep
Poor sleep pattern leads to an increase in appetite and individuals who haven’t slept properly tend to eat more than a person who normally gets enough sleep. A study found that a sleep deprived body activates eCB system which is known as endocannabinoid system which ultimately sparks the desire for tasty foods in the brain and the person who hasn’t slept properly consumes more unhealthier snacks in between the meal.
Final Say
So finally we can say that belly fat can be shed in 1 month if we consume lemon in hot water daily, do physical workout, strict to calorie deficit diet, limit our sugar intake and get enough sleep. By following these natural practices we can easily achieve a flatten belly in just a few months.
