GET RID OF BODY FAT TO STAY IN GOOD SHAPE
A toned body is a sign of good health that everyone desires.Researchers have defined 6 different types of body fat based on where on the body they are mainly accumulated. Although we can easily find hundreds of tips to get rid of them, a certain method can be helpful for one person and completely useless for another. Therefore, an understanding of how our body gains weight is necessary for effective and safe weight loss.
Obesity is a chronic health problem that requires long-term treatment. Lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) are recommended as first-line treatment in all patient.
Some individual may benefit from pharmacotherapy if lifestyle measures are unsuccessful. Surgical intervention may also be indicated in some patients. Doctors and nutritionists will help you to solve this problem.
Let's find out different types of fat so that you can have an effective plan to make them disappear with American International Hospital (AIH).
1. Full upper body fat
This type of fat usually starts to accumulate if you consume more calories than you burn, so the main causes here are overeating and inactivity. How to get rid of it:
- Do exercises: walking, running or swimming at least 30 minutes every day
- Stop consuming refined sugar and forget about sugar-sweetened drinks which make you consume plenty of unnecessary calories.
2. Lower abdomen fat
The lower abdomen tends to be a place where fat collects for many people. Some of the reasons that cause fat to store in this part of the body are stress, depression, and anxiety. How to get rid of it:
- Avoid stress and learn to relax. The stress hormone cortisol makes fat accumulate in the belly, so a good option for you is to meditate or do some breathing exercises.
- Drink green tea. It is a great fat burner. And drinking a cup of hot green tea is a good way to calm down when you need it.
3. Lower body fat
One of the reasons your thighs may be significantly bigger can be due to an excess of gluten in your diet. Gluten refers to the proteins found in grains, including wheat, rye, spelt, and barley. If you are not happy with the size of your lower body, you may want to consider trying a gluten-free diet. How to get rid of it:
- Walk up hills and stairs. It will burn the fat on your thighs very efficiently and will tone your leg muscles.
- Don’t skip breakfast. If you don’t eat breakfast to start your metabolism in the morning, you’ll feel hungrier throughout the day and will end up eating more.
4. Swollen stomach
Excessive alcohol consumption can make your belly grow, so start counting your drinks if you want a flatter stomach. How to get rid of it:
- Cut back on alcohol as most of its calories end up becoming belly fat.
- Divide your daily ration into smaller portions and eat more often. It will improve your metabolism, will help you to maintain energy and moreover, your belly will appear smaller after each meal.
5. Lower leg fat
This problem is common for women who have leg vein problems or swollen legs during pregnancy. How to get rid of it:
- Stop eating salty foods since salt causes fluid retention in your body.
- Don’t sit without moving for more than 30 minutes, try to stand up and walk regularly.
- Lay down with your feet elevated to prevent fluid from collecting in your lower legs.
6. Upper back fat
The main reason that causes upper back fat is inactivity. How to get rid of it:
- Start exercising immediately if back fat bothers you.
- Make sure that you sleep enough. Sleep deprivation can cause changes in your hormones, an increased appetite, and lead to weight gain which will lead to fat stored mostly in your belly and back.
- Eat more food that is rich with fiber. This will help reduce your appetite and calorie absorption from food.
