2 things to do and 5 things to avoid if you want to destroy excess fat in time for Tet

-Drink a glass of water before meals

A glass of water will help you reduce hunger and limit the amount of food you eat. Persistently drinking water before eating, you will soon see positive changes in your waistline.

-Stand for about 15 minutes after eating

Lying down or sitting after a full meal will hinder the stomach's activity and cause fat to gradually accumulate in the abdomen. After a meal, stand up straight and do some light exercise to help the stomach work better, thereby making the abdomen firmer and slimmer.

5 things to avoid doing

-Don't skip breakfast

Many people think that skipping breakfast will help you lose weight because your body limits energy absorption, but this is completely wrong. Skipping breakfast does not help you lose weight but makes you gain weight quickly.

A light breakfast helps the body maintain its biological rhythm and boosts metabolism. Waiting until noon or afternoon to eat will make you hungry and overeat, leaving you with excess energy that cannot be absorbed. At this time, the amount of fat in the body will be stored more, causing you to gain weight uncontrollably.

-No strenuous exercise

Exercising in the evening before bed will not help you lose fat. On the contrary, vigorous exercise before bed will increase your body temperature and heart rate. It is best to do light exercise about 2 hours before bed, and only do light exercises close to bedtime, avoiding vigorous exercise.

-Do not eat late after dinner

The harmful effects of eating late at night on the body and weight probably do not need to be said much more. When falling asleep, the brain still releases growth hormones, eating late at night will cause this hormone to store food, thereby causing your body to have more excess fat.

-Do not drink alcohol

When sleeping, the body always needs absolute rest. So drinking more beer and alcohol makes the liver and kidneys work actively, which is not good at all. In addition, alcohol also affects the brain, you will immediately feel sleepy after drinking. However, the nervous system tends to be under pressure, easily wakes up, sleeps intermittently, not deep and feels tired after waking up.

-No electronic devices

Research from Harvard University shows that light from electronic devices such as computers, phones, tablets, televisions, etc. will prevent the body from producing Melatonin (a hormone that supports sleep). When Melatonin levels and sleep cycles are disrupted, the biological clock is out of time, causing physiological factors including temperature, blood pressure, and weight to change abnormally.
