Tricks to lose belly and reduce volume

Shake to purify yourself

Vegetables and fruit have cleansing 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 remove 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 when 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 move inward, helping to strengthen the muscular girdles in this area.

Get straight!

Both sitting and standing, if you hunch your back, you make digestion difficult and promote abdominal distension. Roll your shoulders back and contract your abdomen.

Baby in motion

Nothing better than physical activity to get rid of abdominal bloating, but don't forget to drink while you exercise. A study published in the journal Archives of Sports Medicine indicates that hydration status 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 the belly even if you are thin

Nerves and stress swell, regardless of what you eat or what size you are. Stress causes hormonal ups and downs, to which the fat cells in the abdomen react by increasing in size. The more stress, the more belly fat. Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga, chi kung, or tai chi to regain your balance.

That you do not lack 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 drinking it as an infusion in the morning. You will purify your body and help you, by the way, to increase your defenses due to its high content of vitamin C.

Two diuretics a 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, blueberries, asparagus, watermelon, green tea, and tomato.

Look for regularity

If you don't go to the bathroom often enough, you will feel bloated. On vacation, changing habits, eating, etc., makes the task difficult. Avoid sedentary lifestyle and self-massage the lower abdomen. Do this by pressing your palms around your belly button. Say goodbye to constipation in 5 days and without pills with these tips.

Includes "tensor" 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 well-hydrated skin, so you should also include whole-grain carbohydrates, which are rich in selenium and help keep tissues young. And do not do without fiber (vegetables, vegetables, fruit) because it eliminates toxins and allows a smoother skin to appear.

And pecks "sticks"

But not bread. Try cutting the carrot, celery, bell pepper, or zucchini into small sticks for snacking. 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, it 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 avoiding bloating. If you eat quickly, you will swallow air with your food and end up with a bloated abdomen. Does it cost you? Start by counting to 10 before swallowing a bite. When you get it, increase to 20 and then 30.

A light and easily digestible dinner

Forget about precooked and fried foods. Vegetable purees and creams are an excellent option. While a vegetable broth is light, but it comes out of the stomach quickly because it is all liquid, the cream is thicker and has the necessary density to spend a while in the stomach and fill 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 don't have to beat yourself up in the gym, but you do need to do cardio every day (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 powerful lipolytic ingredients or equipment that kills fat cells. For example, draining massages help to eliminate accumulated fat and fluids in specific points. They are made by applying creams that use active ingredients such as l-carnitine or caffeine, which accelerate blood flow.

Cryolipolysis

You can also do several sessions of cryolipolysis, a non-invasive method that consists of applying cold through a device on the area to be treated to eliminate fat cells. The session lasts 1 hour and the results are appreciated after 3-4 weeks.

Seaweed wraps

Butt positivism

To these tips to pamper your tummy, you must add a change in attitude. You may be surprised to hear it, but the human body has two "brains." One of them, although many do not know it, is in the intestine. That would explain the reason for some disorders, for example an episode of diarrhea just before performing an exam.

Anxiety, depression, ulcers, irritable bowel … these and other disorders derive from that close connection between brain and intestine. Therefore, from today you must start sending positive messages to your brain and your belly. Ban negative phrases like "I have too much belly" or "I hate these love handles" from your vocabulary. And it is scientifically proven that these negative emotions –which we all feel at some time– "inflate" the stomach.

Why? Very simple, cortisol (stress hormone) contributes to increase abdominal fat. According to a recent study by University College London, optimistic people have much lower levels of cortisol than negative people, so… smile, be happy and enjoy the summer.

With the tricks in the gallery you will once again feel proud of your belly and you will look happy on the beach, in the pool and wherever you go this summer.
