The digestive system, often called our "second brain," plays a vital role in overall health. Even the cleanest, nutrient-rich diet won't benefit the body if digestion is poor, leading to nutrient deficiencies, fat buildup, and water retention.
For sustainable belly fat loss, especially for vegans and vegetarians, the following strategies are recommended:
Vinegar with Meals
A small amount (1 tbsp diluted) of vinegar helps regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support fat loss.
Increased Intake of Whole Lentils
Including unprocessed lentils like moong, urad, and chana twice daily improves waist-hip ratio and stabilizes blood sugar.
Peppermint Herbal Tea
Herbal teas such as peppermint aid in body fat regulation and provide a soothing, low-calorie drink option.
Chia Seeds Daily
Ground chia seeds supply healthy fats that enhance satiety and reduce unnecessary snacking.
Steady-State Cardio
Moderate-intensity cardio (like brisk walking, yoga, or cycling) for 40–60 minutes supports metabolism and steady fat burning.
Flax Seeds
Adding flaxseeds to meals helps suppress appetite, lower cholesterol, and promote fat loss.
Food Sensitivity Testing
Identifying and eliminating food intolerances can relieve bloating, support digestion, and enhance weight management.
Intermittent Fasting
Fasting for 12–16 hours improves hormonal balance, boosts metabolism, and promotes fat breakdown.
