Can't Lose Belly Fat? Here Is The #1 Tip To Lose That Annoying Fat Above Your Waist

Have you found yourself exercising, eating right, drinking plenty of water, getting plenty of sleep, doing a billion ab exercises, and only to find out you still can't lose belly fat? The answer may then lie within something often not discussed when it comes to folks wanting to lose belly fat and improve their overall health.

Stress.

Stress can thwart your plans to lose belly fat and develop a sexy mid-section. Stress in your life can come from many things such as work, family life, business, personal objectives, etc.

The fat that is around your abdominal area functions in a different manner compared to other parts of your body. It takes to cortisol a lot more than other areas. Cortisol is a stress hormone and fluctuates through out the day. However, if you are under a lot of stress, there is a higher level of cortisol released. What this will do since your stomach area takes to cortisol at a high level, it will deposit more fat around that area causing that un-sightly belly fat.

So, with that said, if you are experiencing stress, you should definitely include some form of stress reduction techniques to your daily life if you want to get rid of that belly fat. But please be aware that you should not just focus on reducing stress to get rid of belly fat , but also several other problems that can arise from high stress levels. These problems can be diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and forms of cancer.

Some types of stress reduction techniques could be deep breathing exercises (one of my favorites - and obviously very simple and convenient to do), meditation, and more.

Beware of conforming to "comfort foods" to help in reducing stress. These foods are typically high in calories and carbs such as cakes, chocolate candy, ice cream, and more. You don't need me to tell you these foods are very un-healthy for you, and you guessed it, they will only cause even more belly fat and several other health problems!

You need to include omega 3 fatty acids into your diet. Omega 3 fats have been proven to aide in reducing fat, including belly fat. You can find omega 3 fatty acids in different types of fish such as salmon or mackerel. Other sources are olive oil, flaxseed oil, nuts, and even in supplement form. These types of foods, according to researchers, can also fight the internal effects of stress.

As long as you stay consistent with all of the key components to a healthy lifestyle (sleep, water, eat right, exercise), along with making sure you reduce stress, you will along with developing a complete healthy body....and mind
