7 Natural Ways To Lose Your Belly Fat

Do you really want to know how to lose your belly fat naturally? Have you ever dream of washboard ads or a flat tummy but do not want to take pills, shakes or potions? Do you wish for an exercise plan that do not depend on complicated abdominal crunches that take an athlete to actually pull off? Then I have a solution for you. The only natural way to lose your belly fat is called the “diet and exercise plan”


1. To start off, you must have a balanced low calorie diet. The first suggestion is to eat around outside of the supermarket. That is, do not go into isles where all processed food is. Rather, eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, in addition to this eat a moderate amount of lean meat and low fat dairy products. Stock your kitchen with natural foods like whole legumes and grains such as soybean.


2. Keep in mind that there are food choices that you can make to save calories. For example, by taking 1 cup of potato chips rather than 2 cups of air popped popcorn you save 95 calories. Again, by eating ½ cup of sliced strawberries with ½ cup of fat free vanilla yogurt instead of eating the prepackaged fruit on the bottom strawberry you save 105 calories.



 

 3. Then, start to ramp up a cardio routine. At least 5 times a week you should be doing heart healthy exercises. Research has shown that dieters who walk for 50 minutes 3 times a week lost almost twice as much belly fat as those who only reduce their calories

 

 4. As a natural way to lose belly fat, you should aim for 45 minutes of strenuous exercise. This exercise should include jogging, cycling, fast walking, or using cardio machine at your gym.

 

 5. The best routine that can burn up to 500 calories in one session is warming up for 3 minutes, picking up the intensity for 3 minutes, pushing yourself as hard as you can for 2 minutes, then slowing down for 3 minutes followed by pushing yourself for another 2 minutes.

 6. On top of your cardio you should be doing strength training. The key to finding a natural way to lose your belly fat is working your muscles. Buy a belly ball and work out with this large 22 inch stability ball. In sporting goods stores they cost about $30.00 and if you are serious about finding a natural way to lose your belly fat you will get one.

 7. Lie on your back and hold the ball in the air between your legs for one minute. It is easier to get the hang of than a traditional crunch and will strengthen your muscles as well. The key to the natural way to lose your belly fat is diet, proper exercise including cardio and strength training routines

 

Studies have also shown that people with flat belly maintain good health condition with increased chance of longevity. Most women can drop weight on the scale but NEVER Lose The Fat On Their tummy! You need to find proper foods and targeted exercise that will help you with this problem. For full details visit: >> HERE

WHO HAS FAILED OUR EDUCATION; PARENTS OR TEACHER?

On Sunday, 11th May, 2013, at about 7pm, the question on this blog was

debated on CHANNELS TELEVISION in a program titled ‘Face Off’,  between

 one Mr. Adegbola Johnson (a teacher) and Mr. Idada Joachim (a parent). The

 heated debate that evening pointed accusing fingers to both parents and

teachers as the culprits responsible for the falling standard of education in

 Nigeria.

As a teacher and parent, I tried taking a more objective view. I tend to toll

the idea of Henry Steele Commage, who once said,  "Change does not

necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change.

Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and

|the ability to satisfy them" 

For me,  the constant falling of the standard of education in the country can be attributed to so

 many factors, where all stakeholders tend to blame the other party on the issue-parents

blame  teachers  for lack of professionalism. The teacher on the other hand blames the parent

for not spending much time with the child.
 We can assert that the system has under-

performed for sure.

The larger society accuses the government for its inability of to provide basic infrastructure and teaching facilities for quality education at all levels of the system.
