Belly fat ranks as the number one biggest body complaint for women as most men. Other than making you cringe when you take a look in the mirror, belly fat even more scary on the inside, increasing your chances of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It is unfortunate that belly fat expands as we get older. This is related to the increases production of cortisol which is a stress hormone. Combined with other hormonal factors such as low androgens, fat cells become inflamed and tissues expand to create fat where you don't want it - around the midsection. Called omentum, this blubbery tissues pumps out chemicals that keep you fat, creating a dangerous cycle and potential health issues you can't conceal. To eliminate your over-40 belly fat crisis, follow this stomach fat plan: 1. Eat in Reverse To Lose Belly Fat Can you blast off belly fat by eating spaghetti for breakfast? As a matter of fact you can. You should eat meals heavy in carbs early in the day so they get burned off instead of being stored as belly fat. When it's time for dinner you can do the opposite: Concentrate on eating lighter, more protein-based meals. 2. Drink One Glass of Red Wine Everyday to Reduce Belly Fat As we get older we tend to become more stressed, which directly affects the belly by inflaming fat cells therefore causing us to gain weight. Studies have shown a link between a moderate amount of alcohol consumption and less belly fat. It's good to reduce stress where you can and have one glass of red wine each day. This will help you relax and it provides antioxidant-rich resveratol, known to reduce inflammation. 3. Create A Fiber Pack to Lose Stomach Fat It is essential that all women over 40 consume 25 grams of fiber each day to stay health. Fiber helps you stay full as an added benefit. Don't consume all your fiber all at once or you will feel bloated, instead spread it out during the day. 4. Make A Belly Band Some women turn a blind eye to their waist size, but that's a dangerous mistake. Women you have a waist size larger than 32 inches are at risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Make a belly fat band by placing a ribbon around the center of your waist and cutting it to size with a pair of scissors . Use this band to track your waistline every day and make sure you are maintaining within the range of 32 inches or less. 5. Confuse Your Muscles to Lose Belly Fat This is something that may surprise you: Muscles get used to doing the same exercises, and when your are not challenging them, you stop burning as much fat. To counter this dilemma, change up your exercise routine. Belly Fat Foods: 1. Miso This Japanese staple that is made from fermented soybeans, rice or barley, lowers triglycerides in the blood that contribute to belly fat. You can buy instant miso soup in supermarkets for about $3 per pack. Make sure you buy the low-sodium variety. 2. Sauerkraut Unprocessed foods such as sauerkraut have bacteria that boosts digestion and reduces belly inflammation. Rather than eating it on a hot dog, try sauerkraut on whole-grain with turkey. You should aim to eat 3 teaspoons every day. You can buy canned sauerkraut for $1. Make sure you rinse it before eating and purchase the low-sodium kind. 3. Goldenberries The goldenberry is a bright yellow fruit from Brazil, loaded with B vitamins that are essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism. Although goldenberries are sold fresh, they are easier to find in dried form and are available at health food stores or online for about $12. You should eat 1/4 cup every day. lose belly fat
