9 Simple Habits To Wake Up With A Flat Abdomen

Do you want your abdomen to be flat? Perhaps you can achieve this easier than you first imagined.

Put these simple advices into practice and you can see results quickly.

Often times, adding simple habits, such as the ones below, to your daily routine will make the difference and help you to feel really good.

We invite you to take a test to prove it for yourself.

1. To show a flat abdomen, avoid yogurts

Yogurts have many properties, but if you’re looking for a flat abdomen, you should avoid having them for dinner.

Many of these products have lots of added sugars, in addition to lactose, which is a natural sugar that is often difficult to digest.

The combination of lactose and added sugars can cause inflammation  and swelling of the abdomen.

However, if you believe that a yogurt is the best option to indulge yourself with dinner, choose one that has no more than 8 grams of sugar.

2. Do eight minutes of exercise before bedtime

If you do eight minutes of exercise before going to sleep, you may notice how you’ll wake up with a much flatter abdomen. Also, if you practice sports every day, you will be able to lose weight.

The most recommended exercise in this regard is, first, to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Also, you will need dumbbells.

• Lower your butt to do a squat, then lift and raise the dumbbells above your head.
• Repeat the exercise several times until you complete the eight minutes.
• Between one session and another we can take a break of 20 or 30 seconds.

3. Bet on a cold shower

A cold shower before going to sleep can not only do a  great job for your circulation, but also for flattering your abdomen.

Thanks to the cold bath, you will be able to lower your body temperature and stimulate brown fat, a tissue that consumes energy to increase your body temperature.

That way, you’ll be able to burn calories. If you don’t feel like taking a cold shower, choose lukewarm water, but not hot.

4. Have a proper breakfast

Starting the day with a good breakfast is essential, as butyric acid will help you reduce inflammation in the body and increase insulin resistance.

• A good choice might be a combination of oats, dark chocolate, berries, nuts and cinnamon.
• This way you will be able to stimulate your bowels and will be less bloated. 
• In turn, you will feel much lighter.

5. Forget certain types of food

Chinese food tends to make sodium one of its main elements and this will make you more bloated.

Along the same lines is Mexican food, which also contains large amounts of sodium.

6. Do not consume sugarless gum

While you may believe otherwise, sugarless gum is not as harmless as it sounds. Several studies have shown that sorbitol, a type of sugar alcohol used in sugarless gum, requires slow digestion.

As a result, the fermentation of bacteria is favored and this  ends up causing diarrhea, in addition to bloating and flatulence.

And that’s not all, as chewing gum sends a signal to the brain to whet your appetite.

7. Avoid granola bars

Cereal bars may seem like the perfect appetizer,  but there’s nothing further from reality, and for a variety of reasons.

• These seemingly harmless foods contain whey lactose, so they cause bloating.
• In addition, they also have soybean seeds, which tend to give off gas.
• Remember that this is a processed product and this type of food has been shown to  have more calories than you might think. So it’s likely to make us gain weight.

8. Vitamins yes, but homemade

Although some people currently believe that there are vitamins low in calories and very well prepared, there is nothing like something natural that you can prepare yourself.

Commercial vitamins  often have chemicals that neutralize the positive effect of natural nutrients  and serve to conserve them.

So, the best option is to opt for organic alternatives prepared at home.

You can include ingredients such as:

• Spinach;
• Seeds;
• Almond Milk;
• Coconut oil;
• Fruits.
