How to get a flat stomach
We all want to avoid wasting money on new skirts and pants when our drawers are full of clothes that sometimes don't close! To get a flat stomach and defeat annoying abdominal bloating, you can use natural remedies that will help you reduce your abdominal circumference in a healthy and simple way.

Flat stomach in a week
-
Water
Water is an essential ally for cleansing the body, fighting cellulite, and reducing belly bloating. Drink a 1-liter bottle of still, non-carbonated water a day.
-
Herbal teas and smoothies
Drinking slimming and cleansing herbal teas and fruit and vegetable smoothies is an excellent way to reduce excess abdominal fat in a simple and healthy way. Here are our recipes for herbal teas and smoothies.
-
Fiber
Stomach aches, sluggish bowels, and digestive problems can be combated by consuming the right amount of fiber every day. It's good to eat whole grains, whole-grain bread and pasta , fruit with the skin, vegetables (especially raw ones), and plenty of bran.
-
Walking and running
Walking briskly or running for 30 minutes every day will not only help you feel fit but will also reduce bloating by promoting intestinal transit and improving digestion.
-
Phisical exercises
Exercise twice a day: 30-40 minutes of exercise daily, three times a week. The ideal sports are endurance sports, such as swimming , running, treadmill, cycling (or stationary bike), aerobics, and step. If you prefer team games, volleyball is a complete sport that works every muscle group.
-
Correct breathing
Take deep breaths, contracting and relaxing your diaphragm. Avoid holding your breath, and if you can, quit smoking.
-
Regularity in meals
Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper are the foundations for avoiding a bloated stomach. Eating a lot in the evening promotes abdominal fat.
-
Dried Fruit
A handful of dried fruit a day keeps you feeling full and contains vitamins, healthy unsaturated fats, and minerals. Avoid overeating and always choose unsalted dried fruit.
-
Massages and creams
A belly massage can promote drainage and reduce excess fat. Using a moisturizer will also improve skin elasticity and prevent stretch marks. Use small circular movements on your belly every day after showering.
-
Natural products
Use only natural products recommended by a trusted herbalist: for example, cumin or fennel seeds are useful for their digestive function.
What to avoid to have a flat stomach
-
Foods to Avoid
The first foods to avoid are fatty, fried foods and condiments, but also be careful with all leavened foods (bread and pizza). It's also best to limit your consumption of legumes and potatoes, which tend to promote bloating.
-
Liquids not to drink
All carbonated and sugary drinks are real enemies of a flat stomach because they bloat the abdomen due to the carbon dioxide they contain.
-
Crash diets
All drastic diets should be avoided: while they may allow you to lose weight quickly, they will leave you with a flabby, bulging belly.
-
Alcol
Alcohol is one of the biggest enemies of a flat stomach because it's high in calories. This is especially true for cocktails. A glass of white wine is better than a mixed drink. Wine is also better than carbonated beer.
-
Smoke
Finally, smoking also contributes to the increase in abdominal volume.
The best sport for a flat stomach
Certainly, as we've seen, regular physical activity is crucial for a flat stomach. It's even better if it's combined with a sport, even if it's just a casual workout. But what's the best sport for a flat stomach? Swimming, of course, because it moves all the muscles in the body in synchrony. Cross-country skiing is also particularly good for strengthening the abdominal muscles, and cycling certainly helps you lose weight, as does aerobic exercise.
