Always motivated? The following three tips will help you get rid of belly fat, improve your health and put a little "spice" in your life.
Losing alcohol.
Men of all ages are likely to develop belly fat, but moderate consumption of high alcohol consumption may also affect fat distribution.
In the presence of alcohol and fat, the body chooses to get rid of toxic alcohol first using it as the preferred source of energy. The body can store fat - which is perceived as harmless. As a result, alcohol promotes fat storage - especially around the abdominal area, causing the "beer belly."
"The alcohol stops fat metabolism in the liver, causing it to accumulate around the waist," says Manuel Villacorta, national spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and author of Eat Free ™ Carb-Friendly How to lose inches.
Villacorta suggests men "make a drink policy" and no more than two drinks per day. If you are looking to "relax" after work, that's all you should have to elevate your mood and help you avoid long-term damage to your health.
One drink equals one 12-ounce beer, lemonade or sparkling liquor 10 oz wine cooler, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of spirits - 80 as whiskey, gin, brandy, rum or vodka.
Eat three meals a day.
Studies show that people who skip breakfast and eat less often during the day tend to be heavier than those who eat at least three meals a day. This is probably because those who skip meals tend to feel hungrier later and eat more than usual.
"Skipping meals increases and delay the release of ghrelin, the hunger hormone," says Villacorta, "hunger and makes you emotionally leads to crave high calorie foods like pizza and fries."
To help patients control your appetite and keep it under control ghrelin Villacorta advised to eat every three to four hours. These meals should be "balanced carbohydrates and protein for low ghrelin" he said.
Learn to reduce stress.
Villacorta warns that "the stress during the day can lead to an increase in cortisol and the elimination of fat around the waist."
Cortisol - known as the "stress hormone," is secreted in times of stress often. And research has shown that stress levels and cortisol result in the accumulation of fat in the abdominal area.
So how can you reduce stress?
Learning first to relax - which allows the body to regenerate. Try to sleep eight hours a day and then find time to relax during the day. A walk in the park or on the beach can be very relaxing. Many men are listening to good jazz or just sit in silence helps to relax. Figure out what helps you relax and everyday practice.
Villacorta offers a suggestion: "Do deep breathing exercises during the day," he said. "Just close your eyes on the computer and take ten deep breaths. As simple as that. "
Studies show that deep breathing is actually one of the best ways to reduce stress. So men, start your breath!
