Ways to reduce belly

It is to be noticed that having fat deposited belly is a warning sign of accumulation of fat in the body. It may lead to life style diseases. I believe in prevention is better than cure, however, there are some ways to reduce belly size, of course, it needs long term hard work, commitment and patience. You cannot see results in one day.
  • Please practice to contract the abdominal muscles always, which means, hold the belly inside when you walk, sit and stand
  • When you do exercise, massage the abdomen to make the muscles strong (avoid during pregnancy and any other related contra indications)
  • Avoid large menus daily.Try to have less portion of food at regular intervals
  • Avoid carbohydrate rich foods
