According to nutrition experts, adjusting eating habits can bring clear results if applied correctly.
According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (USA), eating habits directly affect metabolism and intestinal microbiome, factors related to fat accumulation and bloating.
Eat slowly, chew thoroughly
When eating too quickly, air is easily swallowed into the same food, causing bloating. At the same time, chewing thoroughly helps digestive enzymes work more effectively, reducing pressure on the stomach.
Prioritize easily digestible foods, limit processed foods
Foods high in refined sugar, bad fats and additives can disrupt digestion, contributing to belly fat accumulation. Instead, you should increase green vegetables, fruits and whole grains to support the digestive system.
Control portion sizes and avoid overeating in the evening
This helps the body not be "overloaded" with energy. Eating too much, especially before bed, slows down the digestion process and easily accumulates fat.
Dr. Frank Hu, a nutritionist at Harvard University, said: "Healthy eating habits not only help control weight but also improve digestive function and overall health.
Maintaining these three simple rules, combined with reasonable exercise, can help reduce belly fat and sustainably limit bloating.
