Many people complain that although they have a little excess weight, most of it is in the abdominal area.

Getting rid of visceral fat (those extra pounds on your stomach) is worth it not only for the sake of getting a thin waist, but also because it creates serious health risks.

A comprehensive approach will help you in this matter.

Aerobic exercise

Do them for at least 30 minutes at moderate intensity 5 or more days a week. Even better, do them for 45-60 minutes every day.

Even if you don't lose weight with aerobics, you can get rid of visceral fat and increase muscle mass.

Strength training

Perform 2-3 sessions per week using free weights, bands, machines, or push-ups.

Carbohydrates and fiber

Include complex carbohydrates and foods high in fiber in your diet, and avoid simple carbohydrates like those found in sweets and drinks – especially those that contain fructose.

Of all the carbohydrates, fructose is considered the most harmful to the waistline because it promotes food cravings and overeating.

Dream

An adult should sleep from 7 to 9 hours. Lack or excess of sleep leads to accumulation of visceral fat.

Stress

Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which contributes to the formation of fat deposits in the abdominal area. To reduce the level of stress in your life, try to find time to perform relaxation practices.
