Belly fat is stored lipids in the body’s midsection and is also called abdominal or visceral fat. It occurs when you take in more calories than you burn with daily activities. Losing weight in your mid-area increases quality of life as it reduces your risk of heart problems or diabetes.
Fruits
Avocados
Avocados contain soluble fiber [1] that helps burn belly fat and prevent weight gain because it keeps you feeling full for longer periods; hence, controlling your appetite. Although it is a fatty food, it contains the healthy form of lipids called monounsaturated fats [2]. Monounsaturated lipids are mostly oils and are easily burned, leading to no excess storage. Asides from this, avocados can also reduce the risk of heart diseases when they replace unhealthy fats in your diet.
Banana
Water weight is false weight. It occurs due to various reasons like salt intake, stress, and hormonal changes; however, your body may log up to four extra pounds of water weight, which usually stores in your midsection. Bananas contain potassium [3], which, when combined with sodium, helps to prevent the body from gaining water weight.
Citrus
Citrus fruits include oranges, lemon, grapefruits and lime. These fruits are rich in vitamin C, which helps to speed up the weight loss process during workouts. A study [4] conducted in 2005 showed that people who had vitamin C deficiencies had higher body mass index than those who did not. Vitamin C helps to kick-start weight loss and makes your belly-blasting journey an easy one.
