Extra padding around the middle is one of the ‘gifts’ of ageing! This visceral fat is responsible for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other, equally devastating diseases. But there are ways to beat belly fat back and deny your expanding centre any more material. Here are our top 5 tips for sculpting your tum and carving off belly fat!

1. Up your intake of soluble fibre

   Soluble fibre is a super-star ingredient that slows the passage of food through your digestive system. This helpful stuff is responsible for helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing calorie absorption.
    

2. Move it and lose it

   Cardio is a belly fat buster! Aerobic exercise seems to specifically target belly fat stores and the benefits of cardio are not all about your waistline - you’ll live longer, manage stress better and feel more energised if you pick up the pace!
   
   

3. Sleeeep!

   Getting enough sleep might sound easier said than done - but it’s a must for hormone regulation - a key factor in determining how and where your body stores fat. Aim for at least 7 hours a night.
   
   

4. Eat pre and probiotic foods or supplements

   Gut health is incredibly important for determining how your body metabolises food and stores fat. A healthy gut will work with you to control your weight and optimise nutritional uptake. By eating pre and probiotic foods you will give your body the edge over belly fat!
