Lose belly fat with these six lifestyle changes

You’re trying your best to lose weight, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to lose belly fat. Worry not; with these six simple diet and exercise tips, you can say bye-bye to belly fat:

• Drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water daily. Keeping yourself hydrated will prevent constipation and control your sodium levels, both of which are crucial if you want to lose belly fat.

• Increase the intake of both soluble and insoluble fiber in your food, as it reduces bloating.

• Eat potassium-rich fruits like banana and sweet potato as they will help rid your body of excess water and reduce your waist size.

• Reduce your intake of salt because it increases edema (swelling caused by fluid retention) and bloating. Strictly avoid ready-to-eat meals as these are laden with different flavours and salt. Also avoid foods that are hard to digest, like those that are sugar-rich and oily.

• Eat protein-rich food and reduce carbs in your diet. Be sure to include plenty of fruits and vegetables.

• Running or a 45-minute brisk walk daily will help you burn that extra fat.
