Lon my stomachor rather the accumulations of fat on the abdominal area, can affect both the young womeneven if they exercise regularly and follow a predominantly healthy diet, both those mature, especially during the period of menopause, and he doesn’t even save money those who are constantly under stress: Let’s find out why, with two experts.
Belly and abdominal accumulations, because they form
91% of the under 40s and over 80% of the 40-50 year olds interviewed by our Body Positive survey by iO Donna indicate in weight and in the belly the main factors of concern about one’s body.
Even those who adopt a healthy lifestyle, which includes movement and a balanced diet, can have the so-called “stomach”: «In these cases we talk about accumulations of hormonal originand occur in particular types of physical conformation due to a significant presence of androgen hormones”, he explains Federica Almondo, specialist in food science, expert in nutrigenetics and founder of Cerva 16 Milan. «Another situation that favors the accumulation of abdominal fat is chronic stress. This happens because when the organism due to the excessive production of the hormone cortisol which characterizes it.”
The expert points out that hormones cannot be blamed alone. «Stomach often also results from a sedentary lifestyle and from onediet that exceeds refined carbohydrates e The sugars». Making it a worry, however, is not necessary. Because with the right strategy, which combines physical activity, professional aesthetic protocols and correct nutrition, it is possible to act on the belly area.
Walking and professional belly-focused massages
An excellent one encouraging push, which allows you to regulate the tendency to abdominal accumulation, is the introduction of a minimum of physical activity. «Walking half an hour a dayat a brisk paceit is essential: it reactivates the metabolism, tones the muscles and mobilizes accumulated fats”, Tabata Negri, method therapist Renata Franca Terraggio 23 Milan.
Associated with movement, which must be constant and daily, is recommended a cycle of ten specific massage sessions, draining and capable of breaking down the accumulations of adipocytes. «Excellent results are obtained with the protocol MiracleTouchconceived by a Brazilian beauty specialist, and carried out by experts who boast the title of pupil, achieved only after having participated in specific and rigorous training courses”, explains Tabata Negri.
«It effectively erases the roundness and swelling of the bacon thanks to the gestures that characterize it, which alternate deep and modeling solicitations, with delicate lymph-draining touches: the former dissolve fat accumulations, while the latter mobilize stagnant liquids in the skin tissues”.
At the table, healthy foods
Choose whole grains instead of refined ones, like white pasta and bread, which the body transforms into glucose (simple sugar) it’s the first step. «Varying the types of cereals as much as possible is important. I suggest alternating the “pasta – rice – bread” trilogy with buckwheat, spelt, barley and quinoa pasta, for example. In this way we also correctly nourish the intestinal flora, which is essential for strengthening the immune system, improving mood and overall health”, explains nutritionist Federica Almondo.
«When they are consumed refined cereals, the cunning consists inalways combine a protein source to balance the amount of sugars. For this reason it would be good to combine pasta or rice, for example, with legumes or fish, even as a single dish”, says the expert.
Finally, some substances can help control stress and unwanted levels of the hormone cortisol which promote the accumulation of sugars. «Substances such as tryptophan and magnesium should not be missing from the table. We find them in whole grains, to be consumed also in the evening meal without exaggerating with the quantity, in green leafy vegetables and legumes”.
