With the arrival of summerMaybe you’re already a little late for the bikini operation, but it’s never too late. You can take advantage of the holidays to incorporate a series of habits that will completely change your way of life and help you get rid of the belly and lose weight.
Each person is different and the metabolism of each man or woman is not the same, but there are a series of guidelines that, applied correctly and without putting health at risk, are used to lose weight
1. Drink lots of water
Adequate water intake not only helps reduce toxins in our body, but also facilitates all digestive system processes. In addition, water will allow better hydration of all the organs of the body.
2. Consume fruits on an empty stomach
Eating fruit before breakfast is another mechanism that contributes to a better functioning of the lymphatic system, while facilitating the elimination of fats and toxins and improving intestinal transit.
3. Many cereals and carbohydrates in the right measure
Eating cereals, especially at breakfast and instead of other products such as industrial pastries, will provide the body with the necessary nutrients for daily energy. On the other hand, carbohydrates, present in pasta and rice, are positive after exercising, but they are not usually recommended at dinner time, where light foods are more advisable, such as a vegetable salad. ().
4. Eat slowly
When it comes to improving the digestion of fats, always necessary in their proper measure in any diet, food should be chewed calmly and not eaten in a hurry. Stress at mealtimes is also a contributing factor to being overweight.
5. Foods with fiber
Eating foods with fiber instead of fats will not only allow us to maintain the proper weight, but will also help our digestive system to do its job better and go to the bathroom with the right frequency. Fiber is found in vegetables, legumes and fruits. Fried foods, industrial pastries and processed foods must be eliminated little by little from day to day.
6. Exercise regularly
Going to the gym every day can be an option, but if this is not possible, we must try to get enough time to, for example, walk at a good pace for 30-40 minutes. The ‘running’, very fashionable in recent times, is a good alternative -always with caution- like cycling and swimming.
7. Aerobic/strength training
Cardio sessions can start with moderate activity. Stationary cycling, increased in intensity over a period of 30-40 minutes, can be a good method. A strength exercise such as weights or push-ups can then be performed to complete the training day.
8. Sets of abdominals
The abdominal exercises suppose other of the basic facets in the training. In the first week you can start with three sets of sit-ups a day and then gradually increase the duration in subsequent weeks. These exercises help tone the abdomen, while helping us lose weight.
