Get a flat belly after quarantine

Here are Top 5 Tips to get a flat belly in the quarantine days!

1- Exercises for a flat tummy: Losing belly fat is the hardest, they say. And when you want to strengthen your core and lose the flab, we most commonly resort to crunches. Here are some moves that can help you lose fat from the mid-section.

• Lie straight on the floor with your legs extended over your hips. Pull yourself up, like one would do while doing crunches ensuring that your hands reach towards your feet. Bring your arms back overhead, lowering your right leg towards the floor. Repeat the same with left leg. Repeat 20 times.
• Lie down with your back onto the floor. Bring your hands behind your head. Start with your legs bent at approximately 45 degrees angle; bring the right knee into the chest while straightening out your left leg. At the same time, rotate your top half bringing your right elbow to your left knee, then switch to the other side. Repeat 3 times, 1 minute each.

Each of these moves stimulates and tightens the core muscles while burning calories.

2- Check your food: The kind of food you will eat in this period is vital in bringing about any change. Natural foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and pastas, chicken, beef, fish and low fat dairy should replace processed foods full of sugar.

3- Avoid salt; To minimize water retention, lower your sodium intake. This means you need to avoid salt. You can flavour your food with other herbs and spices instead.

4- Drink water: Have adequate water to flush away those toxins. This will give you dual benefits of a glowing skin and a flat tummy. Drinking water does not only mean having gallons of water in a day, but also drinking healthy drinks like green teas with anti-oxidants and fresh vegetable and fruit juices.

5- Stay away from alcohol: Alcohol can make your stomach feel bloated. To get that perfect tummy for a figure-hugging dress, stay away from having any alcohol.
