Getting Rid of Stubborn Belly Fat

If you're been fighting the battle of the bulge for some time, you know that some areas of the body can be tougher than others. Part of that is the result of genetics. Your body is preprogrammed to collect fat in specific areas. So even when you follow a proper diet and exercise program, you can't specifically remove fat from one area.

However, in the case of belly fat, there are some specific things you can do to target the area and get rid of stubborn belly fat. There are some factors that make belly fat more likely to accumulate on the body and when you attack those, you'll find that you can have a smaller middle.

Stubborn belly fat can sometimes be the result of stress. Stress causes hormonal changes, particularly with the hormone cortisol, that cause fat to settle in the abdomen. This is the most dangerous place for fat to settle for your health, and it also can make it difficult to find clothing that fits appropriately.

Reducing your stress levels can help you to normalize your hormone levels and get rid of stubborn belly fat. You can also try dietary supplements that are designed to normalize your cortisol levels. Make sure to take the supplement as the manufacturer recommends and talk to your healthcare provider before beginning any supplement.

Getting enough sleep is also critical to preventing the accumulation of belly fat and getting rid of stubborn belly fat that already surrounds your waistline. The average adult needs 7-9 hours of sleep each night and gets far less. This affects the cortisol levels in the same way that stress does. Make sure to get your beauty sleep each night so that you can get rid of stubborn belly fat.

You also need to make sure you're drinking plenty of water. Sometimes the abdomen becomes bloated and even if you get rid of stubborn belly fat, you still feel like your stomach is larger than it should be. When you drink water and cut down on salt in your diet, you can have a flatter belly.

Belly fat is unique because while it's caused by genetic factors, it's also affected by stress, digestion, water retention, and sleep habits. When you get these things under control, along with proper diet and exercise, you'll find that you're able to get rid of stubborn belly fat and have the flat tummy you've always wanted.
