Distended stomach has become a problem that is often faced by many women in Indonesia. Even though the body weight is ideal, the area around the stomach still looks big and bloated. This turns out to be natural if you don't strictly regulate your diet and exercise regularly. Lots of people think that reducing food portions and extreme exercise can instantly help shrink a distended stomach. In fact, these two things will actually put your body in a state of shock due to changes in habits or routines that are too sudden, causing you to fall ill. Therefore, to get a proportional stomach shape in a healthy way, consider the following 5 tips that you can do.
Rest Enough
Busy activities sometimes make you forget that your body needs adequate rest to function properly. This also affects the body's metabolism which is responsible for digesting fat perfectly. In fact, sleeping less than seven hours a day can trigger your body to produce the hormone ghrelin which can increase appetite. In severe cases, this can also cause you to become obese. Start improving the quality of your sleep so that your appetite is maintained and at a normal level so that you can be free from a distended stomach.
Do Cardio Exercise
Cardio exercise is one of the most powerful ways to lose fat. Movements in cardio sports involve major organs, such as the heart and lungs which can maximize the process of burning calories that accumulate in your body. Add sit-ups , push-ups , squats and running to your exercise routine and feel the difference in a few weeks.
Avoid Consuming Sugar
Reduce your obsession with sugar and artificial sweeteners. Sugar is basically addictive which causes you to constantly want to consume it again and again. The American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended ideal sugar consumption per day: six teaspoons of sugar (100 calories) per day for women, and nine teaspoons of sugar (150 calories) for men. If you consume more sugar than recommended, then you will be more susceptible to the risk of developing health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and fat accumulation which causes your stomach to become distended. Replace your flavored snacks with healthy snacks, such as fruits and vegetables to avoid these risks.
Don't Eat Before Bed
The feeling of hunger that comes at night is very difficult to bear. You tend to have trouble sleeping if your stomach is empty and therefore eat more at night. Naturally, the body does burn some fat deposits while you sleep. However, the burning will not occur completely and will still leave fat deposits if your stomach is too full. Lying down immediately after eating can also cause you to get stomach acid reflux and indigestion due to changes in gravity that occur. Your body becomes unable to pull the food in the stomach downwards and instead hoards it into residual fat. Try to eat food at least two to three hours before going to bed. If you feel very hungry a few moments before going to bed, avoid consuming carbohydrates and consume fruits which are certainly more healthy.
Stay away from Unhealthy Lifestyle
Unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking and consuming alcohol also trigger your stomach to become distended. Smoking is believed to help reduce weight because it suppresses appetite. In fact, smoking actually pushes fat toward your core and causes your belly to get bigger. Consuming alcoholic beverages also causes your body to have to work extra to digest large amounts of sugar and calories which in fact will only accumulate as fat in the stomach. Stay away from these two habits and start switching to a healthy lifestyle to get the ideal stomach shape.
