What is abdominal distension? How do I fix it?
Abdominal distention is commonly referred to as “pot belly”. It is brought on by over loading your intestinal system with large volumes of food, then sitting down, or lying down, thereby allowing the stomach muscle to relax. When this process is repeated often, it will lead to a permanent protrusion that is almost impossible to change. Many bodybuilders and power lifters can cause distension by over eating in an attempt to gain weight. In order to correct abdominal distension begin by adjusting your dietary program. Eat smaller, more frequent meals that are low in fat. Avoid eating large quantities of food throughout the day, especially late at night or before going to the gym. Pay attention to your posture to prevent a “lazy stomach”.
