6 Ways to Burn Your Belly Fat

If you’re looking to make your belly smaller, there’s a better way to do it than rolling on the floor trying to do crunches. Instead, try using strategies that burn up cortisol, a hormone in your body that depletes lean muscle and holds on to fat in the abdominal region. One of the most important ways to help this process is to reduce stress in your life, because stress causes cortisol levels to spike. Other ways include: getting enough sleep; doing short bursts of exercise; reducing or eliminating refined sugars from your diet; supplementing with vitamin C; slowing down your breathing; and, believe it or not, eating fats―the good kinds such as the Omega 3’s found in salmon, avocados and walnuts.
