A swollen waist and a bloated belly are not always due to a lack of an active lifestyle.
Often the problem of a growing belly lies in a person’s diet.
The article will tell you which foods are harmful to your waist size.
Bakery products
Buns, cookies, white bread - these are the things that need to be eliminated from the diet.
The thing is that such products are baked from refined wheat flour. There is nothing left of the healthy wheat in such raw materials.
In addition, manufacturers use dyes to obtain a uniform white color. Such flour has no nutritional value.
When it enters the body, it increases gas formation in the intestines due to fermentation processes during the digestion of carbohydrates and yeast.
In addition, refined flour increases blood sugar levels, causing the formation and accumulation of visceral fat, which dangerously envelops internal organs.
Cow's milk
10 thousand years ago cow's milk was not digested by the human body in almost 100% of cases. The revolution in animal domestication that took place became the beginning of the gradual adaptation of the body to animal milk.
But despite evolutionary changes in the human body, today the lactose intolerance gene is present in 75% of the planet's inhabitants.
It is noteworthy that most of its carriers do not even realize this peculiarity of theirs, continuing to drink the drink.
Milk does have a rich composition with calcium, magnesium, potassium, amino acids, vitamins. But due to intolerance, it can cause bloating. Even one glass leads to an increase in the volume of this part of the body.
Carbonated water
The list of things that cause active bloating includes, not without reason, carbonated water, both with sugar and flavor enhancers, and regular mineral water.
The latter temporarily increases the volume of the stomach due to gas accumulation. But sweet water often becomes the cause of excess weight formation due to its high sugar content.
It is estimated that one glass of sweet soda contains an average of 6 teaspoons of refined sugar.
The substance causes the accumulation of visceral fat, which is deposited exclusively in the abdominal cavity and is difficult to eliminate through both exercise and proper nutrition.
Fruits high in sugar
Sweet and juicy fruits are generally provocateurs of bloating due to their high content of dietary fiber, which takes a long time to digest in the intestines. But fruits containing a lot of sugar are even more dangerous for the waistline.
These include bananas, grapes, mango. They have a high calorie content, which undoubtedly has a negative effect on the volume of the abdomen with uncontrolled eating.
It is quite difficult to get rid of fat deposits that appear due to this reason.
A bloated belly is caused by overeating a certain group of foods that are high in sugar or fast carbohydrates.
You can get rid of the problem with the help of sports and correction of eating habits.
