9 Natural Ways to Burn Belly Fat

Summertime is the season for all things outdoors.  For many of us, the warmer months mean donning sleeveless shirts, shorts, and bathing suits.  It’s also the time of year when people worry the most about their appearance, or more importantly, losing that stubborn fat that clings to your waistline and reminds you of all of the culinary indulgences you enjoyed over the winter.  While there are countless miracle pills and quick fixes available out there, most of them either don’t work or carry incredible health risks.

Here are some quick tips to lose unwanted belly fat that actually work and won’t damage your health in the process.

This isn’t just great advice for shedding unwanted pounds around the midsection.  The health benefits of getting adequate rest are well-documented and can help you lose weight from several different angles.  Sure, it’s easy to make excuses as to why you don’t have time for the prescribed eight hours of sleep or why you don’t really need it, but please read on!

Needless to say, not getting enough rest leaves you feeling exhausted and hinders physical performance.  What you may not realize is that nervous function, hormone production, and metabolism are also crippled due to lack of quality sleep.  If your nervous system can’t function at full capacity, you’re far more likely to work slower, stress more, exercise less, and eat things that you shouldn’t because you’re in a hurry.  Furthermore, inadequate rest can impair the production of key hormones responsible for the metabolism of fat cells.

Remember that one complete sleep cycle for adult humans can range from 90 – 110 minutes and ideally you want to get in 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep – about five complete cycles.  This will help your brain and body to function at peak performance and to burn away stubborn belly fat much more efficiently.[/su_box]
