Every centimeter counts when it comes to belly size, and there are simple habits you can eliminate to get a flat stomach.
A bloated stomach can be caused by trapped gas in the digestive tract, excessive fluid intake, or that favorite steak your grandmother keeps serving you. Whatever the cause, reducing your belly fat, or at least getting rid of that bloated feeling, can offer numerous benefits.
Eating too fast:
We’re all busy, rushing to different destinations, and carrying out our regular activities under pressure. However, there are some things you should always do in moderation, like eating.
Eating too quickly causes you to swallow air, which produces gas and increases the size of your stomach. This isn’t a myth. You feel bloated when you’ve eaten too fast. It also slows down digestion. Stephanie Middleberg, a nutritionist in New York City with Middleberg Nutrition, explains why. When you eat hastily, you don’t chew thoroughly, and larger pieces of food remain in your intestines during the digestion process. Digestive enzymes haven’t been able to do their job properly. Furthermore, your body hasn’t had time to register the amount ingested, and ultimately, you’ve put more food into your system than it needs.
