How to reduce belly fat without exercise?

1. Start eating fruits

Fruits like apples, oranges, berries, grapes, pears, etc. are very beneficial for reducing belly fat. These fruits help in the detoxification of the body. As they have natural sugar content, they help in regulating blood glucose levels. These fruits contain potassium and magnesium; vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, and folic acid. In addition, these fruits have fiber and flavonoids. Fiber helps in preventing constipation, whereas flavonoids act as antioxidants and prevent heart disease. So, eat plenty of them daily.

 2. Drink lots of water

Drinking enough water is also very beneficial to reduce stomach fat. Our skin flushes toxins out of our body, and thus drinking a sufficient amount of water prevents toxins accumulation in our system. Water also helps digestion. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day; if possible, try to make it 10 glasses.  Avoid drinking juice or soda since they add calories.

 3. Eat nuts

These nuts should be eaten raw, unsalted, and preferably soaked overnight to make them easier to digest. Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, and pecans are nutritionally rich and provide protein, zinc, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, copper, selenium, phosphorous, etc.

 4. Add Fiber To Your Diet

Fiber-rich foods provide bulk in your diet, keeping you feeling full longer. Try adding oatmeal, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, berries, apples, carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, sweet potato, kale, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, garlic, mushrooms, chia seed, quinoa, flaxseeds, chlorella, brewer's yeast, and coconut to your menu plan.

 5. Use olive oil

Olive oil contains monounsaturated fats which are good for cardiovascular health. Add some extra virgin olive oil to salads, soups, pasta, bread, muffins, vegetables, pizza, meat, seafood, eggs, etc. Olive oil reduces bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and enhances good cholesterol (HDL). It also lowers triglycerides in the blood.

 6.  Eat heart-healthy fats 

Omega-3 fatty acids help keep our skin looking young and prevent wrinkles. And they help lower cholesterol levels. So, we recommend eating fish twice a week. Or take a daily supplement.

 7. Reduce alcohol consumption

Alcohol intake increases stress hormone levels and raises cortisol levels. Cortisol is known to cause belly fat. In addition, alcohol causes dehydration and disturbs sleep patterns. It also affects digestion. Hence, drinking alcohol should be avoided. Instead, opt for non-alcoholic drinks to stay healthy.

8. Try intermittent fasting

Fast for 12 hours one day each week, then eat normally three days a week. Intermittent fasting burns fat by keeping insulin low. Insulin pushes water and glucose (blood sugar) into cells, where it gets stored as fat. When we don't eat for a while, there's no insulin spike, so excess blood sugar doesn't get converted to fat.

9. Avoid Processed Foods

A lot of people don't realize how processed foods can really harm their bodies. These items have chemicals added to them so they can last longer or look better. But these chemicals aren't actually good for you. But highly processed foods don't supply the necessary nutrients, nor do they leave you feeling satisfied. Instead, these items may lead to overeating and weight gain. If you're looking to drop weight fast, focus on eating fresh fruits and veggies, whole grain bread and cereals, lean meats, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, legumes (beans), herbs and spices, and olive oil.
