“It’s very easy to gain visceral fat on a diet with sugary drinks,” Dr. Louise Wiseman tells The Express.
A study carried out by Harvard Medical School, in which more than 2,500 volunteers participated, confirms the claim of the health professional.
Research results revealed that consuming sugary beverages was “positively associated” with visceral fat levels. Daily users of sugary drinks had visceral fat levels 10% higher than those who did not.
In addition to dispensing sweetened beverages, Wiseman recommends other changes to put an end to excess belly fat. The main healthy habit to burn that fat is ” 30 minutes of exercise” daily, the doctor said.
Wiseman also named other proven ways to decrease belly girth. For those who want to lose weight, the doctor said that it is essential to sleep well, avoid alcohol consumption, minimize stress and have a balanced diet.
