Belly fat is known as visceral fat and is much deeper than subcutaneous
fat. Visceral fat surrounds the organs and can lead to conditions such
as heart disease and diabetes. Belly fat may be caused by a variety of
things including diet, stress and lack of exercise. There are some ways
you can lose belly fat and lower your risk for associated diseases.
Chronic stress can increase your levels of cortisol according to
prevention.com. Excess cortisol not only contributes to appetite, but it
also causes you to crave fatty and sugary foods. In addition, cortisol
overproduction makes your body store fat in the abdominal area. Practice
meditation, deep breathing techniques or yoga a few times a week to
help control stress and eliminate belly fat
Alcohol consumption can increase belly fat. According to the
mayoclinic.com, you should drink less than two alcoholic beverages
daily to decrease belly fat. A study performed by the Journal of
Clinical Nutrition on eighty men showed that fat metabolism slowed by 73
percent after having two vodka drinks. Thefactsaboutfitness.com states
that your body will convert alcohol to acetate after drinking, which
will inhibit fat loss.
