The pandemic and the confinement associated with it have led many people to a sedentary lifestyle and a dietary disorder that is taking its toll on them... I call it the “COVID Belly” or the COVID tummy. Are you in that group?
Obviously, from an “image” point of view, no one likes to gain pounds, especially in that area of the body, which makes us feel quite insecure. However, the consequences of this increase in abdominal fat go beyond the mirror.
Those extra pounds bring with them:
-
Increased blood sugar
-
Also increasing the risk of prediabetes or diabetes
-
Higher cholesterol levels
-
Increased triglycerides
-
Increased blood pressure
-
Which increases the risk of heart attacks
-
And it causes a state of constant inflammation in your body, which is not good for your health.
I imagine you are already wondering: So how do I lower my belly? Well, follow these steps or tips…
1. Drastically lower carbs what you eat daily.
I mean:
-
bread
-
rice
-
pasta
-
desserts
-
cookies
-
sodas
-
sugary drinks
-
and the sugar you add to your coffee.
-
fish
-
chicken
-
turkey
-
lean meat
-
vegetables
-
Egg can also be included.
-
You can consume, from time to time, good carbohydrates such as fruits, sweet potatoes and whole grain products.
2. Prioritize aerobic exercise.
Forget about doing abdominal exercises for the moment; Do aerobic exercise every day for 30-45 minutes if possible. You have to sweat!
3. Significantly reduce or avoid alcohol consumption.
If you want to boost that loss of abdominal fat even more, here are the supplements Santo Remedio that can help you in this task:
-
Prickly pear: When you take a capsule, 30 minutes before each meal, several good things happen in your body:
-
Due to the high fiber content of cactus, the intestines take longer to absorb food, especially carbohydrates, resulting in lower blood sugar.
-
The abundance of fiber in the cactus also makes you feel full, so when you sit down at the table, you eat less.
-
Red Yeast Rice: This supplement blocks the production of bad cholesterol or LDL in the liver, thus helping you control it, also lowering your cardiovascular risk.
-
Ashwagandha: This natural plant helps you control anxiety, an important factor when it comes to losing weight.
-
Turmeric: Increased abdominal fat causes constant inflammation in the body. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps control the unwanted effect of being overweight, especially increased abdominal fat.
Don't keep thinking about it! Start eliminating that belly now!
I'm with you on this.
