Are you carrying excess weight around your stomach..? Belly fat is one of those things that can creep up on us, especially when we slowly gain weight over time. But belly fat is not just about how we look. With researchers confirming that people with excess belly fat have an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Unlocking the Secrets of Effective Belly Fat Loss is a combination of a nutrient-rich diet and exercises.
Reducing the amount of fatty tissue we’re carrying in our stomach region is a worthwhile objective, but the annoying thing about belly fat is that it is much harder to lose than it is to gain.
And while we might think that hitting the crunches hard is the best way to reduce belly fat, it’s actually impossible to reduce fat in one specific area by exercising just that body part.
That’s because our bodies store fat as triglycerides, which can be used for fuel anywhere in your body, not just in the area that you are exercising.
So while it’s reasonably easy to build specific muscles through exercising our legs, arms, or shoulders, for example, it’s not so easy to reduce the amount of fat around our stomach with crunches and other core exercises.
The good news is that we can reduce our overall body fat by combining aerobic exercise with a nutritious diet. And if we reduce our overall body fat, that will reduce the amount of belly fat we are carrying
But before embarking on a new exercise regime to try and reduce our body fat, consider what you are trying to achieve. If you simply want to reduce the amount of body fat you are carrying to improve your overall health, then building muscle might be the most effective approach.
However, if losing weight is your objective then understanding the concept of a calorie deficit and combining a nutritional eating plan with a regular exercise routine will increase your chances of achieving your weight loss goals.
