A bulging, so-called “beer” belly is a problem faced not only by men who love strong drinks, but also by women, who may develop a large belly for a number of reasons.
If you have encountered a similar problem and are currently looking for ways to solve it, use the following recommendations.
Review your diet
Proper nutrition is a key factor in the fight against a beer belly for women. Start monitoring the amount of calories you consume, determine the optimal ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and create a calorie deficit.
Reduce your intake of foods with fast carbohydrates, sugar and saturated fats, and increase your intake of vegetables, whole grains, proteins and healthy fats.
Drink more water
Drinking enough water throughout the day helps improve your metabolism. This means that you won't feel as hungry between meals, which in turn will help you avoid overeating.
Increase your physical activity
Extra pounds will go away faster if you regularly set aside time for sports. Cardio workouts and abdominal exercises work well against a beer belly.
Get enough sleep
If your body doesn't get enough sleep, it will produce cortisol, the so-called stress hormone. This process is accompanied by an increase in the amount of fat in the abdominal area. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a day, go to bed and get up at the same time every day.
Get rid of stress
As we have already discussed, cortisol, a hormone produced during stress, promotes fat accumulation. Yoga and meditation will help reduce stress and improve the situation.
