Our lifestyle directly affects our health. Belly fat, a nightmare for many people, is also a consequence of bad habits in daily life.
A thick belly fat affects the aesthetic beauty of each person. But more importantly, belly fat makes people face underlying diseases that threaten health, quality of life and longevity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure...
Sometimes, just by changing the habits that are the 'black stars' of belly fat, we can have a slim waist, said nutritionist Dr. Truong Hong Son (Vietnam Institute of Applied Medicine).
Sitting too much
A sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of fat gain no matter how hard you try to lose weight.
Many people do not realize that they have been sitting at their desks for hours without standing up, even just to get a glass of water or do some small exercises. The habit of 'sitting' in one place without taking time to move increases your risk of high blood pressure and obesity because only physical activity can burn calories, reducing the activity of the fat-burning enzyme lipoprotein lipase. Thus, you will face high blood sugar, accumulate more belly fat, and even affect your longevity in the long run.
People who sit a lot without taking breaks often have many wrinkles and folds on their abdomen, affecting their appearance.
Distraction while eating
When eating, we need to focus on the food, both to enjoy the full flavor of the food, but more importantly - this is a simple way to lose weight. Are you surprised to know that distraction in our meals is one of the causes of increased belly fat, because it is difficult for you to eat according to the prescribed regimen. When you eat while holding your phone to surf social networks, text, watch video clips, watch TV... you can accidentally increase your food consumption without realizing it. This bad habit is very common in daily life and it is a big obstacle for you in the process of losing weight.
When you eat while using your phone to surf social media, text, watch video clips, watch TV... you can unintentionally increase your food consumption without realizing it.
Along with losing concentration while eating, snacking is also a bad habit that needs to be overcome. Snacks are mostly fast foods such as chips, chocolate, candy, chips... which are foods that easily increase the size of the abdomen. These snacks contain a lot of empty calories, which are harmful to health. You may not know that the consequences of frequent snacking are feeling tired, having difficulty concentrating... but you can easily recognize obesity after a long period of snacking.
However, you don’t have to be so extreme as to completely avoid snacking. You should build healthy snacks with low-calorie, high-fiber foods such as yogurt, nuts, fruits, fruit smoothies, salads, etc.
Lack of sleep
Sleep is very important to the human body, that is something everyone knows. However, lack of sleep not only makes your health decline but can also lead to obesity.
Not being able to sleep at night makes you often feel hungry, easily leading to having to eat at night to 'caress' the stomach, the inevitable result is the accumulation of fat around the waist. The next consequence of people who lack sleep is fatigue, lack of energy. This makes them not want to exercise or do any exercise. Being lazy will make us have more excess energy, leading to weight gain.
At the same time, when you lack sleep, your metabolism is also disrupted. The inevitable result is weight gain, and even other chronic diseases.
Lack of sleep also causes stress. Many people think that being tired and stressed will make them lose weight, but the opposite is true. People with stress tend to eat a lot of fast food, sweets, and fats, because sugar provides energy quickly when the body is stressed. This energy is stored mainly in belly fat, which is difficult to eliminate.
Get enough sleep, at least 7 hours per night for adults.
Not eating enough meals
Skipping any meal of the day causes disruptions to the body. Because when you skip a meal, your body's metabolic rate will slow down. At this time, the body will switch to conservation mode, retaining fat instead of burning it for energy. This can make it more difficult to lose weight or control weight over time.
In addition, when you skip a meal, you tend to overeat at the next meal. Portion control becomes more difficult, leading to excessive calorie intake and weight gain.
Drink lots of fruit juice
Many people think that fruit juice is a part of a diet. But this is a mistake because fruit juice lacks fiber, vitamins..., causing an increase in calories in the body, leading to fat accumulation in the abdomen.
The best way to eat fruit is to cut it into pieces to increase the amount of fiber and reduce the amount of sugar absorbed into the body.
Of course, when you understand that even fruit juice is a 'black star' to a slim waist, you also understand that you need to stay away from soft drinks. Soft drinks contain a lot of sugar, which can increase blood sugar levels. Drinking too much soft drinks over a long period of time can increase visceral fat, especially belly fat.
Plain water, herbal tea... are the best types of water to help lose weight and control weight effectively, provided you drink enough, about 1.5 -2 liters per day.
