Everybody wants a flat stomach! Everybody craves for a flat stomach! Everybody obsesses over a flat stomach! There are three factors that we can control to help get that flat stomach. Those are nutrition, physical activity, and stress reduction.
As we strive for a flat stomach, we must also monitor the quality and frequency of our food intake. We can begin by increasing our food intake to 5-6 meals throughout the day. Each meal should be made up of foods from the different basic food groups. Water intake is very important, which is a better alternative to sodas. Making healthier food choices will help give our bodies the necessary fuel for our daily lives and our workouts.
Physical Activity: when you are first starting out, you can begin with walking for at least 20 minutes per, then progress up to 30 minutes, three times a week. Try to maintain a good elevated heart rate while walking so you are challenging your system.
Stomach flattening exercises are basically exercises that involve multiple joints that allow our bodies to reduce overall fat and at the same time allow for muscle growth and development. When we increase our muscle size, it also increases our metabolism and requires more fuel to be converted from fat, thereby getting the fat from the stomach area. Ab exercises are also good to help tone and increase core strength.
Our bodies have a way of surviving and maintaining energy supplies when it feels it is in danger. When we have high levels of stress, our bodies produce the Cortisol hormone, which stores fat in our stomach area. Stress causes the body to hold onto the fat, so that it can be used as an energy source for survival.
Deep breathing exercises has shown to help people cope with stress and as a result be better able to help flatten their stomach. By drawing in air through our nose, deep into our lungs and abdominal area and slowly releasing the air through our mouth slowly allows for more oxygen to enter our system.
