I have been asked a
couple times my tips to a “flat tummy” so I have decided to make a post on the
topic. ENJOY.
One major cause to a nonexistent
flat tummy even whiles eating healthy foods could be eating foods that do NOT
work for YOU. For example Broccoli is a super food vegetable with many
benefits. NO TWO WAYS ABOUT THAT. But personally, I cannot eat broccoli because
it results in my stomach bloating, upset stomach and let’s face it –Gas...lol.
It may not do this to you, for me it does. Same with Cauliflower. FIND OUT
WHICH FOODS WORKS FOR YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND STICK TO THAT. For me spinach
is my best smoothie ingredient. For every smoothie, spinach must go down with
it. What works for others may not work for you! Vegetables full of mostly water
work for most people! (Yellow/red pepper, cucumber, carrots, spinach, tomatoes,
kontomire leaves etc).
Pay close attention to
the things you are eating and how you feel after you eat them. This could be
one cause in “I eat healthy food, wake up with a flat tommy and doesn’t stay throughout
the day”. Other food(s) that may cause this are: Dairy (Lactose), Wheat. I personally
do not consume lactose. THAT CAN HELP
Limit your sodium
intake/carbonated/ sugar you can do WITHOUT (check my earlier blog on salt
intake). What I do? No carbonation at all. No salad dressing. (Try squeezing lemon/balsamic/apple
cider vinegar).
THIRSTY? Drink lots of
water. Drink 3.5 – 4 Liters of water a day (check out my earlier blog on the
benefits of drinking water)
MY SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY
FOR FOOD: I LOVE my foods that comes
from tress, have a mom, come from the ground and have not been altered by
chemical processes. The alien cousins are welcome once in a while, and they won’t
cause me any harm, if my primary source of nutrients are benign. That translates
to wiser choices balance. TAKE CARE OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BECAUSE YOUR LIFE
MATTERS.
Stay Up, Stay Blessed, Be fit and Never, Ever give
Up In this fitness Journey… persistence is the KEY.
