Women’s Fight Against Belly Fat

Abdominal fat. Few things are ugly, embarrassing and also… dangerous. We all know that over the years, more fat builds up at the waist and it can interfere with wearing jeans or tight-fitting clothing. But the real problem is not in your figure but in your health.

You probably already know that in recent years, the number of women diagnosed with heart disease or type 2 diabetes has been on the rise. Our lifestyle and diet cause the formation of belly fat, and in the long run it can lead to serious health problems that need to be kept in mind.

In today’s article, we want to highlight some of these risks and tell you how you can set daily goals in the fight against belly fat.

The dangers of belly fat

According to nutrition experts, women tend to develop more belly fat after the age of 40. At this age, small changes begin to occur in the body, such  as a slowdown in metabolism, which can lead to a reduction in fat burning.

And this is a risk to your health. Are you ready to find out what the long-term health threats are?

• Heart disease

Increased fat below the diaphragm and in the chest area makes it difficult to breathe, causing a chronic cough. It strains the lungs and difficulty breathing normally leads to sleep apnea.

It is also worth mentioning that belly fat may increase the risk of suffering from certain diseases, such as breast or uterine cancer.  Fat around the waist may even affect menstruation. That’s a pretty serious problem.

This may sound like a strange question as no one but you can know when there is too much fat in your abdomen. But maybe suddenly you notice your body has changed, your clothes not only tighten but you feel more tired. You feel different.

Doctors also warn of another important issue. It is important to measure your waist circumference and try to avoid exceeding certain dimensions:

• Women’s waist circumference should not exceed 89 cm

The fight against belly fat

As you know, shedding excess fat from the waist is sometimes awkward and no matter how hard you try. You may start to feel despair and think that you will have to live with belly fat forever.

But don’t give up! Do not give up. If you are trying hard to lose weight but fail, seek help from your doctor or nutritionist. Listed below are some practical recommendations that may be helpful in your daily life. Learn to use them boldly and optimistically!

• Reduce salt use.
• Drink two liters of water daily.

• Drink a glass of warm lemon water every morning on an empty stomach.
• Try a cup of sage tea after lunch or dinner. This is the best way to improve digestion and reduce belly fat, so be consistent and drink sage tea for 15 days each month, twice a day.
• Stop drinking cow’s milk. The best dairy product is unsweetened Greek yogurt, which improves digestion and increases beneficial bacteria in the gut.
• Eat small meals five to six times a day, and don’t skip meals. If you skip breakfast or dinner in the hope that your weight will drop, it is certain that the opposite will happen. Your metabolism slows down and your body stores the energy it saves – in the form of fat!
