Sometimes, we find that, despite the work out routine, number of times we go to the gym, we end up battling with belly fat and wondering why it doesn’t all just go away. It is never really just about doing a high number of sit-ups, what you take in affects the outlook of your belly.

This is a common mistake that we all make. We like to take a chill soda when the weather is hot. Being soda-free would definitely go a long way to see that your tummy turns out the way it should.

Salt and salty foods

The more sodium we consume, the more fluid we retain which gives rise to the bloating. But the truth is, Nigerian dishes have a considerable amount of salt in them, look for suitable alternatives or cook with less salt.

Junk food

Irrespective of the fact that they always there, and sometimes only when on the go, endeavour to eat more proper meals. As junk food is highly unhealthy and made of flour and sugar.
