A flabby waistline isn’t just
unattractive — belly fat has also been identified as a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. As Fox News reported April 15, it takes more than sit-ups to
get rid of abdominal fat, including:
§ Interval training to
burn off the fat and show off your abs
§ Eating on a regular
schedule, because skipping meals causes your body to raise levels of the stress
hormone cortisol and store fat
§ Avoiding sweets, which
mess with your blood sugar and — when consumed in excess — get stored as fat
§ Eating more healthy fats
like those found in nuts, avocado and olive oil, which will give you a sense of
fullness and increase your metabolism
§ Getting a good night’s
sleep
§ Relaxing, which will
decrease cortisol levels and prevent stress-related weight gain
