The simplest way to reduce excess fat on the belly

The simplest methods to reduce belly fat mainly include adjusting dietary structure, increasing aerobic exercise, conducting core training, improving lifestyle habits, and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning. Abdominal fat accumulation is usually related to factors such as overeating, lack of exercise, and slow metabolism, and requires comprehensive intervention to effectively improve.

These exercises can promote whole-body fat breakdown, especially with significant effects on visceral fat consumption. Maintain a heart rate between 60% and 70% of the maximum heart rate during exercise, and after 20 minutes of continuous exercise, the proportion of fat supply will significantly increase.

Perform 3 sets of tablet supports per day, each lasting 30-60 seconds; Roll up the abdomen 15-20 times per group, pay attention to using the abdomen to exert force instead of the neck. Enhanced core muscle group can improve abdominal relaxation, and combined with aerobic exercise, it can accelerate local fat metabolism.

Learning abdominal breathing techniques and practicing for 10 minutes every day can help activate deep abdominal muscles. Massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.
