How to reduce belly fat

As we get older, our body becomes more prone to gaining weight. Fat accumulation, so-called night fat, occurs when your metabolism is slower than before. In particular, thick belly fat is more likely to increase.

If the ability to use fat cells efficiently is lacking, belly fat can accumulate more easily and it can be more difficult to lose belly fat. Experts point out that in order to reduce the belly fat that accumulates with age, exercise is necessary, but a healthy diet is also necessary.

Here are some tips to reduce belly fat.

More Fiber

It is recommended that people over the age of 50 consume 21 to 30 grams of fiber daily. Fiber is known to support a healthy bowel movement, and it also has a positive effect on reducing belly fat. Fruits, chia seeds, and beans eaten with their skins are good sources of dietary fiber.

Adequate hydration

Maintaining adequate fluids has a huge impact on weight loss. Water is needed for fat burning as well as removing waste products from the body and helping control appetite.

Reduce sugar and processed foods

Chronic inflammation is associated with several negative health outcomes, including weight gain. The presence of inflammation is also related to the accumulation of belly fat. So to help manage inflammation, you need to minimize your intake of sugar and processed foods and include fish in your diet. Fish like salmon are great sources of Omega-3.

Avoid alcohol

Alcohol adds so-called empty calories to your diet and lowers your inhibitions, making it easier to overeat. Alcohol also affects sleep, which can lead to weight gain by increasing appetite.

Take vitamin B12 supplements

Vitamin B12 supplements can be a great way to reduce our belly fat. As you get older, adding certain supplements is essential, but if you are trying to lose belly fat, taking a vitamin B12 supplement may be a good option as it has been shown to play an important role in metabolism and fat loss. Supplements like the Aronamin Gold Tab are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients that your body needs.

Consume low-fat protein 

Consuming lean protein, such as lean meat, beans, lentils, and fish, can also help you get rid of belly fat. As we age, muscle mass begins to decrease. Eating enough protein can help support muscle mass, which can also help you lose belly fat.
