How to Get Rid of Belly Fat and a Protruding Stomach

When men start to accumulate fat, it often begins around the belly. This fat, known in medical terms as visceral fat, is particularly dangerous because it surrounds the internal organs. Once the abdomen is filled with fat, the body begins to store fat in the liver, pancreas, and muscles, leading to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

Research shows that when men overeat and avoid exercise, fat starts to accumulate in the belly. Once the stomach becomes full of fat, there is little space left to store it, causing the belly to expand. In addition, excess salt, sugary foods, and constipation can also cause a protruding stomach. Irregular sleep patterns—less than five or more than eight hours of sleep—can contribute to this problem. Sitting immediately after meals and not drinking enough water can also lead to fat buildup.

Stress and tension trigger the release of a hormone called cortisol, which encourages fat storage around the abdomen. This excess fat can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health issues.

The most effective and immediate solution for reducing belly fat is exercise. When you engage in physical activity, belly fat is often the first to go, which also helps in overall weight reduction.

You can start with 10-second intervals and gradually increase the duration to 30 seconds or even a minute. When you feel your hips dropping or your body alignment isn’t straight, take a short break and resume the exercise.

Special Exercises for Reducing Belly Fat

Vertical Leg Raises (Crunches)

This is a highly effective exercise for reducing belly fat. It strengthens the muscles around the abdomen and helps to burn fat. It’s also great for the lower back. This exercise not only helps you lose belly fat but also relaxes your body afterward.

A protruding stomach may look unattractive, but with regular exercise, a toned abdomen with six-pack abs can enhance a man’s masculinity and a woman’s waistline. The swollen muscles around the abdomen can be transformed into a symbol of fitness and beauty.

 

Star Abs

• This is a powerful exercise that, when done for 15-20 minutes daily, can help reduce belly fat and bring it into shape. Doing 100 Star Abs exercises daily can make a significant difference.

How to Perform Star Abs Exercise:

• Lie flat on your back. Extend your arms out behind you to form a "V" shape. Do the same with your legs.
• Lift your arms and legs. Tighten your core and attempt to lift your upper body and legs at the same time. As your legs come closer to your chest, bend your knees and try to hug them with your arms.
• Simultaneously straighten your legs and arms again.

By incorporating these exercises into your routine and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can effectively combat belly fat and enjoy a more toned and fit physique.
