Change chip

Don't "declare war on your body", hug it, pamper it and love it more. Instead of looking at your belly and mentally telling yourself that you don't like it, why not start treating it kindly?

Your head and your belly are connected. And when you stress putting pressure on yourself with an unbalanced diet, creating anxiety to see you in a certain way, it ends up translating into gas, constipation, discomfort, binge eating or even sadness … On the other hand, if you pamper her, if she is happy, she responds regularly , energy, good humor and it leads you by the hand and easily to a healthy weight.

Take care of the microbiota

If our diet is made up of foods that nourish “good” bacteria, that is, if it includes enough probiotic and prebiotic foods, we can little by little heal our microbiota, which was previously known as the intestinal flora. This improves our immune system and also has a positive impact on our weight and our mood. As the Danone Institute explains, "probiotic is a product that contains defined, viable microorganisms in sufficient numbers, which affect the host's microflora, thus exerting their beneficial effects on the individual's health."

Yogurt, the great help

The easiest way to take probiotics is yogurt.

Why. Fermented vegetables also carry live bacteria, but they are difficult to find unpasteurized on the market and pasteurization kills them.
Also … Taking natural yogurt, with bifidus, kefir … favors the variety of probiotics in the diet.

Eat healthy

If you eat to "take care of yourself" and not to "punish yourself", it will be much easier for you to get him to fasten his pants because you will be listening to your belly and you will give him what he needs.

Bet on the Mediterranean-style diet. Because the Mediterranean diet is based on the foods that the microbiota like the most: vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, dairy … On the other hand, consuming an excess of proteins of animal origin (especially red meat), fats saturated and sugars, it can make you gain weight more easily.
Choose fresh foods. Processed and ultra-processed foods contain many additives and other substances that harm the microbiota and can contribute to the multiplication of bacteria related to obesity and intestinal disorders or increase hunger and consequently the consumption of calories.

Stand up to stress

When there is a peak of stress, the mind asks the intestine for help and it begins to save the energy it uses for digestion, etc. But if calm does not come, if it becomes chronic, the brain continues to demand sacrifices from the intestine and the microbiota is altered, generates more toxins that in turn influence the brain, and stress worsens.

How to mitigate it. Practice breathing, visualize yourself in a place that gives you peace and scream or sing at the top of your lungs.

Exercise

It is proven that exercise and physical activity can positively modify the composition of the microbiota. A study from the University of Cork (Ireland) found that the microbiota of athletes possessed a bacterium that is related to a greater ability to burn and not accumulate fat.

Infallible trick. Practice the exercise that you like the most, because that way you will be regular and release more endorphins, the pleasure hormones. Do you know the benefits of hypopressive abs?
