Losing weight without exercise - is that possible?

We will tell you what you need to pay attention to in order to be able to reduce excess belly fat in the long term.

Bremen – Fatty tissue on the stomach is a tiresome topic for many people.

Because belly fat in particular is often not as easy to get rid of as desired.

Women, in particular, are increasingly gaining weight in this area due to the female hormone estrogen.

However, a diet high in sugar and calories can also promote annoying love handles.

But fat is not just fat.

As the

German Obesity Society

(DAG) writes, abdominal fat can promote heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and severe COVID-19 courses.

Countless diets often promise rapid weight loss.

Not every diet is suitable for everyone.

The popular keto diet, for example, could actually harm your body.

But the topic of metabolism also often arises in connection with diets.

Accordingly, you adapt your diet depending on your metabolic type.

Sufficient exercise and sport, on the other hand, are good for health and physical fitness.

In addition, they also provide effective weight loss support – but they are not for everyone.

However, we have summarized for you below how you can get rid of your belly fat without exercising.

Lose weight urgently: Why belly fat can also be dangerous

Belly fat is not just annoying love handles, but according to experts it can also be harmful to your health and be risky.

As the health insurance company AOK informs, the internal abdominal fat, also known as visceral fat, poses health risks.

For example, “abdominal (belly) obesity is more damaging than fat that is distributed under the skin all over the body (subcutaneous fat),” states the MSD

Manual

Experts therefore warn against too much belly fat.

Because the more there is, the higher the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as arteriosclerosis, heart attack and stroke as well as metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus (diabetes).

An unhealthy diet, genetic predisposition as well as psychological and social aspects can be other reasons for too much visceral fat.

Often, however, even small changes that can be easily integrated into everyday life can help to reduce belly fat.

Lose weight without exercising: These seven tips will help you get rid of excess belly fat

So there are not only personal, aesthetic reasons that speak for losing belly fat - but also health reasons.

These tips will help you with your project:

  • Drink a lot:

    You should drink at least two liters of water every day.

    Still water is best, as carbonic acid acidifies the body and leaves an unpleasant feeling in your stomach.

    If you drink too little, the body cuts back on energy production and stores fat instead of burning it.

  • A balanced diet:

    According to nutrition and fitness experts, the right diet is the key to success when it comes to weight loss.

    Belly fat can be reduced relatively quickly if you avoid sugar and processed carbohydrates such as white bread, cereal, rice or pasta.

    The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends a variety of foods, i.e. a varied diet.

    According to DGE, you should include more plant-based foods (vegetables and fruits), protein in the form of legumes like beans and lentils, non-fat dairy products, lean meats, and whole-grain breads and pasta in your diet.

    Good fats like nuts, avocados, vegetable oils, and fatty fish like salmon are also important for vitamin absorption.

  • Eat Slowly and Mindfully:

    No matter how stressful your day is, make time for your meal.

    When swallowing, the body reacts more slowly with a feeling of satiety.

    Eating slowly, on the other hand, promotes digestion and prevents bloating.

  • Relieve Stress

    : When the body is overloaded, it produces steroids and releases cortisol.

    The stress hormone disrupts your metabolism and is often the reason why you resort to unhealthy foods.

    If you can't avoid day-to-day stress, find a stress relief outlet.

    A short walk or a hot bath in the evening.

  • More Vitamin C:

    Researchers from Arizona University found in a study

    published in

    Nutrition & Metabolism that vitamin C boosts fat burning in our body by more than a third.

    It is therefore worth reaching for grapefruit, kiwis or oranges more often.

  • Fill up on vitamin D:

    In a study presented in the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE), scientists found that there is a connection between vitamin D and the development of abdominal fat.

    They found that people with a lot of vitamin D in their bodies tend to have less belly fat.

    In addition to the metabolism, it also boosts cell renewal and the immune system.

  • Getting enough sleep

    : Make sure you get enough sleep.

    Seven to nine hours is ideal.

    This is reported by US and Chinese scientists in the journal

    Nature Aging.

    According to a study in the

    American Journal of Epidemiology, those who suffer from lack of sleep start.
