It has been shown that potbelly puts men in danger of developing age-related
macular degeneration – Britain’s leading cause of vision loss – say the
researchers, so if you think that having a potbelly is a sign of good living, you need
to think twice.
Potbelly
is not grown overnight; it gradually results from poor feeding habits or
choosing the wrong types of food…Especially eating late. Most people
xpressurselfshow spoke to are not proud of having potbelly…some say the traffic has a
role to play on this….they come back late from the office tired all they want
to do is eat …and jump into the bed…..one of the men said…"I do eat pounded yam
at 11.30pm, leave for work as early as 5am to beat traffic, skip breakfast, at
noon, I eats rice". Weekend when he is meant to hit the gym….that’s when he
hangs out with his friends drinking…having boys out……
Do you want to be sexy again? Then it’s
time to take some actions and stop giving flimsy excuses:
The latest evidence suggests eating
healthily earlier in life could help some people ward off the disease.
According to experts, potbellies are mostly caused by accumulation of fat around the abdominal area; here are some of the ways to burn down such fats to get of the pot bellies.
1. Embrace the habit of eating raw fruits, vegetables and lean proteins regularly. Lean proteins like lean meat, egg and low-fat dairy products, beans and fruits help to burn up the fat around the abdomen and keep the body’s blood sugar stable by making one feel fuller and burning down belly fat.
2. Avoid highly-carbonated foods or fatty foods (especially anything fried), go for high-fibre or ‘watery’ foods instead. The body processes high-fibre or watery foods easily and they also provide all the nutrients you need to lose fat. For instance, it is advisable to eat whole-grain bread instead of white bread. The same goes for pasta, cereal, and other baked foods.
3. Learn to say No to processed foods such as snacks, candies and sodas. Soft drinks contain low-quality calories and should be also avoided.
4. Flush out the habit of having dinner late, instead always have dinner at least two hours before going to bed. This is the period when the human body is at rest and less active.
5. Always and always drink water. Never let a day pass you by without drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water
6. If you are a lover of alcohol then you would have to reduce your consumption of alcoholic drinks
7. Exercise regularly, walk as much as you can or meet a fitness specialist to find an exercise that suits you.
Always develop a proper posture by standing erect and sitting straight, it helps. More importantly, try exercising your Transversus Abdominus Muscle (TAM).
The TAM, is the muscle in your abdomen that holds your stomach in giving you the flat belly look. This muscle acts like a corset around your tummy by holding your tummy in but when the muscle becomes weak, your belly will expand easily thus making your tummy looking much bigger. This is one of the reasons why people have pot belly, beer belly or tummy fat.
There is no perfect time to lose weight…you can do it....sometimes within your estate or wherever you live take a walk,walking up the stairs intead of using the elevator.*WINK*
