Why do ladies crave for flat tummies???

Flat belly secrets

A flat belly is what many ladies crave for. Almost every girl’s dream is to have a flat belly. It is actually easy, for you don’t have to sleep in the gym, do a million sit-ups or undergo a tummy-tuck surgery to get one.

Research has shown that calcium which helps in building strong bones can also help to get rid of belly fat. In one study, volunteers on a reduced-calorie diet who got 1,200mg of calcium daily lost 11% of their total body weight. Even better, the people with the highest calcium intake lose more from around their mid-sections.

The best source of calcium comes not just from milk but also from yoghourt. In the alternative, VITATIV CALCIUM plus D which is a multivitamin that contains vitamin D can be taken. This multivitamin supports breast health and promotes strong bones and teeth.

We propose some “Body Perfect” strategies that can help you drop some troublesome pounds within a short period of time. These are:

• STOP STRIKE DIETING AND EAT RIGHT.

The best cure is eating three health-full meals throughout the day so that your blood-sugar stays level. You may be trying too hard to lose your belly –constant dieting can make the level of cortisol, the stress hormone which causes your body to store fat in your abdomen, to rise by as much as 18 percent. This in turn makes your blood-sugar go haywire; first rising and then plummeting, making you cranky and ravenous. Snacks like Apple, Banana, or Fibre bars can be helpful instead of Meat pie, small chops or Doughnuts.

 

• CURTAIL CAFFEINE.

When you combine stress with caffeine, it raises cortisol level far more than stress alone does. The result of a study shows that consuming the equivalent of two and a half to three cups of coffee while under mild stress, boosted cortisol level by about 25% and kept it up for three hours. When some study subjects took 600mg of caffeine which is equivalent to six cups of coffee, throughout the day, the hormone went up by 30% and stayed high all day long. So, instead of coffee, give your body a drink it will benefit from. For belly fat, you can take obesity tea. Drink three times daily before main meals. For general weight loss and improvement in skin tone, use organic Oolong tea. To replenish and increase energy, take vitamins, nutrients with anti-oxidants and water.

• GO SLOWLY AT MEALS.

Don’t scarf down your food, even healthy food. Scarfing down your food attracts big portions of food. Scarfing down your food coupled with big portions of food leads to more belly fat. Slow down, savour each bite and pay attention to the feeling of fullness. This may lower cortisol levels and also decrease the amount of food taken.

• DE-STRESS BREAKFAST.

Eat a breakfast high in B vitamins, vitamin C and Magnesium because deficiency in these nutrients is stressful to your body leading to increased cortisol levels and food cravings. Have grape or orange to supply vitamin C and 6 to 8 ounces of low fat yoghourt or 2 glasses of skimmed milk or almond milk which contains calcium and magnesium, and whole-grain toast with eggs.

• CHOOSE WHOLE GRAINS.

Your body needs carbohydrates for energy but most people eat about twice the amount of carbohydrates that they should per day mostly in the form of refined flour products and sugar loaded drinks. Eliminating these simple carbohydrates cuts a big source of empty calories. Eat small amounts of complex carbohydrates or resistance starch e.g. organic brown rice and pair them with a food that has protein or healthy fat like fish or avocado that will help reduce blood-sugar spike and crash the cravings that come with it.

Once you can keep to these very easy strategies, be sure to get a flat belly in the shortest period of time possible.
