23 ideas and tricks to lose belly and reduce volume
The scale says you're at your weight (or almost, almost), but your figure doesn't convince you when you see yourself in a bikini. We tell you how to reduce volume and get a silhouette with which you will feel much more at ease.
Shake to purify you
Vegetables and fruits have purifying and detoxifying properties, helping to eliminate waste from the body. For 7-10 days sign up for green smoothies (with celery, cucumber, spinach, apple, tomato, carrots ...), which will help you detoxify the body and make your stomach work little.
And to eliminate liquids
You can also crush a glass of green tea with two cups of seasonal fruit (melon, peach ...) and a little lemon juice.
Take care of your posture while sleeping
Avoid sleeping on your stomach and, either on your side or on your back, try to keep your back straight. In this way, you "force" the belly to get inwards, helping to strengthen the muscular girdles of this area.
Go straight!
Both sitting and standing, if you bend your back you hinder digestion and favor abdominal distension. He throws his shoulders back and contracts his abdomen.
Baby on the move
Nothing better than physical activity to get rid of abdominal swelling, but don't forget to drink while you exercise. A study published in the Archives of Sports Medicine magazine indicates that the state of hydration is a determining factor in physical performance. It is advisable to drink 2 to 3 glasses of water in the four hours prior to long-term exercise, and between half and one every 20 minutes while doing sports.
Stress increases your belly even if you are thin
Nerves and stress swell, regardless of what you eat or how tall you are. Stress causes hormonal ups and downs, to which fat cells in the abdomen react by increasing in size. The more stress, the more abdominal fat. Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga, chi kung or taichi to restore your balance.
Do not miss lemon
It is a great cleanser. In addition to having diuretic properties, citric acid helps eliminate toxins. Add it to the water you drink between meals or try to infuse it in the morning. You will purify your body and it will help you, in passing, to increase the defenses due to its high content of vitamin C.
Two diuretics per day
Include two diuretic foods in your daily diet and don't forget to drink 1 to 2 liters of water a day. The best diuretics against fluid retention are: artichoke, celery, onion, cranberries, asparagus, watermelon, green tea and tomatoes.
Search for regularity
If you do not go to the bathroom with the appropriate frequency you will feel bloated. On vacation, changing habits, eating, etc., makes the task difficult. Avoid sedentary lifestyle and self-massage the lower belly. Do it by pressing with the palms of your hands around the navel. Say goodbye to constipation in 5 days and without pills with these tips.
Includes "tensors" foods
Or what is the same, foods with nutrients that contribute to the firmness of your belly such as eggs, turkey, chicken, fish or legumes. Firm skin is a well-hydrated skin, so you should also include integral carbohydrates, which are rich in selenium and help keep tissues young. And do not dispense with fiber (vegetables, vegetables, fruit) because it eliminates toxins and allows a smoother skin.
And pecks "sticks"
But not bread. Try cutting the carrot, celery, pepper or zucchini into sticks to peck. They are very healthy, cleansing and low in calories.
Take a banana a day
It is energetic, very satiating, has almost no fat and, being rich in potassium, favors the elimination of liquids and improves circulation. Other foods rich in this mineral are avocado, cauliflower, spinach and carrots.
Chew slowly!
Eating slowly, chewing each bite well and doing it with your mouth closed is key to avoid swelling. If you eat fast, you will swallow air with food and end up with a swollen abdomen. Does it cost you? Start counting to 10 before swallowing a bite. When you get it, increase to 20 and then to 30.
A light and easily digestible dinner
Forget about precooked and fried foods. Vegetable purees and creams are an excellent option. While a vegetable stock is light, but it comes out quickly from the stomach because it is all liquid, the cream is thicker and has the necessary density to spend some time in the stomach and satiate us more.
30 minutes of exercise
Focus on your goal and combine cardiovascular activity with specific exercises for the areas you want to “file”. You do not need to crush yourself in the gym, but you do cardio daily (running, swimming, cycling, walking), which helps burn calories, and toning exercises, which shape the figure.
Help yourself with cosmetics
There are reducing treatments that use potent lipolytic ingredients or appliances that kill fat cells. For example, draining massages help eliminate fat and accumulated liquids at specific points. They are made by applying creams that use assets such as l-carnitine or caffeine, which accelerate blood flow.
Cryolipolysis
You can also do several sessions of cryolipolysis, a non-invasive method that involves applying cold through a device on the area to be treated to kill fat cells. The session lasts 1 hour and the results are appreciated at 3-4 weeks.
