What Helps Reduce Belly Fat?
Although some people want to reduce belly fat for cosmetic reasons, extra fat around your midsection can be deadly. People with increased belly fat are susceptible to heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Men should have a waist measurement of less than 40 inches, and women should have a measurement of less than 35. There are two types of belly fat: visceral, which covers the internal organs; and subcutaneous, which lies just under the skin. Reduce belly fat through diet modification and exercise. Exercise five days per week, and increase your consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
