1- Defeat that belly!
     Shelter of the digestive system, the belly is said to be a real brain bis with the intestinal system. Fermentation, soft drinks, air swallowed while eating, constipation ... unpleasant demonstrations are legion. Why ? The slightest stroke of stress, a lively emotion, a food component that does not pass: the belly then becomes painful and swells.
 - Take your time to eat
Taken standing in the noise, a quickly swallowed sandwich favors the ingestion of air and slows the digestion. Eat in peace, sitting at the table, for at least 20 minutes, and chew each bite.


- Dose the fibers
They are found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and of course legumes (lentils, chickpeas, coconut beans, etc.) are essential for good transit. But be careful, to associate with alkaline foods, because alone and in large amounts (more than 30 g per day, an apple contains about 5 g to give you an idea), they can irritate the intestines and promote bloating .

- Bet on the right vegetables
They digest well, drain the body and facilitate elimination. Mollo, however, on "farinaceous" (especially dry vegetables), poorly advised to stomachs and fragile intestines.

 - Do not forget the proteins
White meat, fish and eggs can replenish energy and protein without fermenting or increasing the volume in the stomach. But beware of sauces and animal fats, difficult to digest.

- Choose the cooked
By changing the structure of foods, cooking facilitates chewing, digestion and assimilation.

 - Salt moderately
Excess salt promotes water retention in the belly. Taste before reseeding and limit the consumption of industrial products.

- Banish nibbling
With each new food intake, even minimal, the digestive juices are triggered and the digestive system, disturbed, leaves for a ride. A snack, ok, but at a fixed time.

- Take care of your digestive system
Difficulties to digest? Make a cure of probiotics (found easily in pharmacy).
Difficulties to eliminate? Make a cure of prunes and figs in the morning for a few days (taking into account that they bring a lot of quick sugars), otherwise make vegetarian meals high in fiber at night.

- Breathe
Good ventral breathing helps flush toxins out of the body. Lie on your back, with your hand flat on your tummy, send the air to the end of your shoulders, lower it down your shoulder blades, the rib cage, then the diaphragm, and return the air in the opposite direction.

2- Hunt down the bulges
    When one eats too much and hurts, fat accumulates around the waist. Wondering how to lose belly?
- Review your energy intake
     When we consume more calories than we burn, we inevitably store. In some, it is to the buttocks and thighs, in others to the belly: question of morphology and heredity. If this is your case, plan a small diet.

- Cream yourself
     Some slimming creams, rich in draining and destocking active ingredients, are specifically developed to fight against abdominal curves. Apply them morning and evening, and from time to time do a gentle scrub.
Prefer creams containing caffeine.

- Massage yourself
First in a clockwise direction and pressing lightly. Then by pinching the skin, taking off and rolling (rolling palpate).

- Stand upright
The belly is tied to the back, to the scapular girdle (shoulder blades, clavicles, sternum) and to the pelvis. As often as possible, consider squeezing your abs and straightening up.

 - Practice sports that refine size
That is to say: climbing, gym, combat sports, dance, badminton, rowing.

- Make abs
It's basic, but it really works. At the rate of 5 minutes every morning and always thinking about contracting the belly during the exercises, you make yourself a flat and tonic belly.
