On Indiatimes.com, Dr. Saurabh Sethi - an gut health expert, trained at AIIMS, Harvard and Stanford - said that the age of 30 is an important turning point for the body's metabolism.
According to Dr. Sethi, before and after this milestone, the body begins to process food in a different way, even if the eating habits do not change.
Dr. Saurabh Sethi gives advice on habits to maintain after the age of 30 to control visceral fat well.
Eat plenty of protein
Aim to consume 1.2 - 1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day. Protein helps tone muscles, creates a feeling of fullness for a long time and promotes metabolism. For a good source of protein, increase your intake of foods, such as lean meat, beans, dairy, or plant protein.
Do strength training at least three times a week
Lifting weights or doing resistance exercises helps maintain muscle and maintain a better metabolism.
Walk every day to support insulin
A simple walk every day helps the body use sugar better and reduces the risk of visceral fat accumulation. Dr. Sethi recommends that just 10 minutes of walking after each meal can have clear results.
Prioritize good sleep
Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Not getting enough sleep will disrupt hormones, cause hunger, increase cravings, thereby making it easier to store belly fat.
Try gentle intermittent fasting
The 12:12 fasting regimen - eaten within 12 hours and fasted for the remaining 12 hours - helps the digestive system rest, control appetite and reduce inflammation.
