Which spice can help you lose belly fat?
1 of 5
Black pepper is widely used in Ayurveda to treat multiple health disorders. But did you know that black pepper is also a great fat cutter? Research shows that black pepper greatly inhibits Adipogenesis, the system of formation of new fat cells, thus helping you to reduce your waist size and lower your cholesterol levels. Hence, make it a habit to add a little black pepper in your everyday home-made sandwich, grilled meat and salads and this should definitely be a crucial push in your endeavours of getting a finely sculpted waistline.
Depression, nowadays, is a leading cause of a bigger belly.
2 of 5
This is because depression restricts the secretion of serotonin that leads to reduced metabolism and poor digestion of food. When this happens for a long period of time, the unprocessed and unassimilated fat accumulates leading to bloating and deposition of fat in the lining of your stomach. Try eating soaked nuts (almonds and hazelnuts) which are rich in magnesium and effectively reduces stress, anxiety and depression as well as are extremely helpful belly-fat cutters. But make sure you do not consume more than 3-4 nuts at a time.
Which oil can be safely used while cooking without causing a fatty stomach?
3 of 5
Olive oil has certain compounds which stimulate a particular hormone inside your stomach. When this happens, the stimulated hormone sends signals to your brain that your stomach is full and thus your appetite gets automatically curbed. This means that little intake of food fulfils your hunger and this saves you from a bigger waistline. Olive oil also lowers your risk of heart disease, reduces cholesterol level and blood pressure as well.
Milk burns stomach fat and helps you get a flat tummy.
4 of 5
Imagine what a glass of milk can do for you! Milk contains loads of calcium that significantly reduces abdominal fat as well as heals muscle soreness and cramps. But make sure you have double-toned milk or skimmed milk which is low in calorie and fat content. Try a cup of skimmed milk every morning without sugar or you can also try a cup of homemade frozen yogurt, without sugar. Both are equally nutritious and effective for your well-being.
Eating too fast can cause belly fat.
5 of 5
So next time you gobble up your food and scurry away to work, think again! Gobbling up food causes you to swallow excess air which leads to a bloated belly. Moreover, when you gulp down food, you don t chew them properly and large chunks of food enter your stomach. When this happens, your digestive system fails to assimilate the large chunks of food properly and the unassimilated fat accumulates, leading to stomach bloating.
