Punch that protruding paunch

Fitness is not a destination; it's a continuous Journey. So, get rid of your ugly paunch thereby improving your posture, appearance and self esteem..

There was a time, may be 25-30 years ago when a man with a big, bulging, protruding paunch was supposed to be 'prosperous', tandurust' , Khato-peeto' smacking of . pseudo affluence. Well, the wheels have certainly turned full circle, things have changed drastically for the better over the,
years. A big fat paunch and ugly waistline is no ,longer a sign of prosperity! It makes the whole body look shapeless, even though other body parts may well be in proportion.

Before we come down to brass tracks we
have to work hard to lose 3 things

If other parts of I
your body are well under control and you have just one problem of a protruding tummy, then it definitely points out to one of these- that you are eating far beyond your capacity, eating indiscriminately, eating big mouthfuls, chewing haphazardly, snacking incessantly, indulging in large fatty meals, having too many meals, guzzling down drink after drink, blocke~ gases in the stomach, have lots of sugar in your diet with no physical activity or an exercise regimen to tone up your tummy.
All this can sometimes promote belching, bloating and intestinal pain. Also please keep in mind that all kinds of negative emotions and fear affect the gastro-intestinal tract. To give you an example, haven't you observed children frequenting the toilet during examination time? The connection between the mind and the body is so intimate that when the mind goes out of gear the whole body suffers or certain parts of your body which are 'weak' in constitution,
You could flag off with eating much'less.quantity at a given meal. Instead of 100%, reduce your intake of food to 60-70% of your capacity. Eat very slowly and in small mouthfuls. If you are habituated to eating large mouthfuls start right ahead and eat with a teaspoon. When you eat with a teaspoon, naturally you will be taking in small quantity and thus masticating the food well. Remember digestion first starts in the mouth and that your stomach has no teeth. . Therefore chew your foods to liquid consistency.
Tastily spicetl non-veg foods, thick curries and gravies may delight your plate and palate - but does great harm if taken regularly. Avoid fried items and dishes which are soaked in ghee. All fried items should be kept on a plate which is first covered with tissue paper. As soon as you fry the item, place it on the tissue paper, which in turn will soak up the excess oil and masalas.
Again don't wash off a meal with a cup of coffee, tea or even alcohol or sit with a cigar perched on your lips after lunch or dinner or anytime. All these are heartburn agitators, If you are in the habit of taking a siesta after a heavy meal or wish to snatch those 40 winks then try to lie on your bed on your left side with head elevated by a pillow. If by chance, one meal is heavy, then the other one could be balanced by just having fruits or a bowl of salads.
It would be worth your while to invest in a Tummy Trimmer available at shops which cater to health care products a'nd goods, Pay a visit to these sports go shops. You will be surprised at the vast range of health related gadgets that have popped up in the market.
