Saggy belly– the scourge of most women. Unhealthy lifestyle, sudden weight loss, childbirth – all this can cause sagging skin in the abdominal area. This aesthetic problem causes not only psychological discomfort but also deprives the pleasure of wearing what you want. Fortunately, this problem is solvable. I WANT to tell you how to get rid of sagging belly once and for all.
To solve the problem of sagging belly should be approached in a complex. No cream designed to tighten the skin, you can not create the perfect shape. We need to act in a comprehensive manner.
Food
You need to start a fight with a sagging stomach with adjusting your diet. The first thing to do is to reduce the number of so-called empty calories. Empty calories are:
- High-calorie sweets, cakes (chocolate, jams and preserves, pies, cupcakes, donuts, cookies, etc.);
Fatty and processed meats (steak, ham, bacon, sausages, offal, etc.);
- Fat cheeses, sour cream, mayonnaise, ice cream;
- Dishes, deep-fried;
- Sweet high-calorie beverages (coffee, tea, milkshakes, packaged juices, soda, alcohol).
Give preference to dishes, steamed, grilled, or baked in the oven.
Don’t forget that beautiful belly depends on the amount of fiber in your diet. Nutritionists recommend that women consume 21-25 daily grams of fiber. Dietary fiber fills the volume of the stomach, creating a feeling of satiety, and is great for stimulating bowel motility. Fiber is found in whole grain products (pasta, bread from wheat flour, cereals), fruits, vegetables, legumes.
Drink plenty of fluids especially plain drinking water. Drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water a day. Welcome also green and herbal teas. Drink them without sugar, with lemon and mint as desired.

The mixture should be applied on the problem area, wrap the top with cling film and leave for 20-30 minutes then rinse with warm water and do massage.
Make it better every day, touching the skin with your fingers a variety of techniques (pulling, stroking, rubbing). If you apply on the skin special firming cream or simply orange essential oil, juniper or bergamot, the effect of the procedure will be much better.
