Weight Loss: Pot Belly!

 

It was different this time!!

'Miss photogenic' as we call Reena, was looking little different in her holiday pics. Her clothes looked one size bigger for her and also her smile looked as if she has stopped at 'breathe in' position.

Mahesh came upset to me for his consultation. I was surprised because his sugar levels were absolutely fine this time. I asked him reason for his despair. To which he responded, a lady colleague teased her today saying her Ganesh instead of Mahesh. I controlled my laughter but understood what he was going through.

This is not only the story of Reena or Mahesh, we have all gone through or going through this; struggling with that ugly looking and stubborn Belly Fat.

Why does a big belly happens?
Medical science gives us 5 reasons of a big abdomen-
Foetus, foecal, flatulence, fluid and fat.
All others are mostly taken care by nature but the belly fat has to be worked on. Since we created it, we are responsible to get rid of it.

Is it something to be worried about?
Mother in laws are really happy to see their sons with big bellies. "The bahurani is feeding my son well". Some call it the sign of prosperity.
But the fact is- the bigger your tummy is, the higher your hospitals bills would be in the near future, especially if you have reached 40+ age, and all that prosperity will shift to the doctors.

High belly fats can lead to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, hepatic disorders, hormonal imbalances and infertility (in women), just to name a few.

Now time for some good news.
It can be reduced and you can still get back to your flat tummy, sexy curves, and a fit body. What is required is a professional help with regards to right diet, proper nutrition, personalised exercise regime and stress management. Yes, it's possible!!

A fit body is always a work in progress. Let's start today!!
