Many people struggle with getting rid of extra fat around the midsection. Stress, too many cheat meals, and skipping out on regular exercise all plays a part in belly flab. Aesthetics aside, carrying extra weight in the abdomen can set you up for a variety of health issues, such as heart disease and type 2 Diabetes. Luckily, there are simple changes you can make to get rid of belly fat and reduce your chances for these diseases.
Simply moving more and spending less time being sedentary is key. Exercise such as running, biking, or even walking all helps burn belly fat fairly easily.
Eat more protein! According to a recent article from Prevention, eating more protein prevents you from becoming insulin resistant (insulin is a hormone that promotes fat storage in the abdomen). Eating healthy fats such as fish and nuts also helps in fat loss.
