The low intensity exercise proven to reduce harmful visceral fat - key tips

In addition to engaging in regular exercise, you should eat a healthy diet to reduce belly fat.

“Focus on plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and choose lean sources of protein and low-fat dairy products,” advises Mayo Clinic.

According to the health body, you should also limit added sugar and saturated fat, which is found in meat and high-fat dairy products, such as cheese and butter.

“Choose moderate amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats — found in fish, nuts and certain vegetable oils — instead,” it adds.
