10 Things to Know About Belly Fat

1. Belly Fat is Worse Than Other Fat It's true. Belly fat is the worst kind of fat. Deep belly fat (the kind that makes for a classic beer belly) actually puts out proteins & hormones that make all kinds of bad things worse, including LDL (bad) cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglycerides. It's, also, a player in insulin resistance & red-alert-causing inflammation.
2. Dropping Belly Fat Isn't Just a Calorie Game The type of food you eat affects whether belly fat stays or goes. In one study, two groups of people ate the same number of calories. One group got their carbs from refined grains, the other from beans & whole grains. The latter group lost more belly fat. You can do this by replacing 2 servings a day of refined grains such as, white bread & white pasta with a couple servings of satisfying lentils, chickpeas, or kidney beans.
Omnitrition® has the best weight loss products!  From fat & carb blockers to fat burning drinks to their newest weight loss supplement that makes weight loss fast & easy!
3. Some Condiments Can Make Belly Fat Disappear In one study in which obese people consumed either 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or a placebo each day.  The apple cider vinegar group dropped more body & belly fat than those who took the placebo, even though everyone was on the same diet & did the same workout. Just don't take it straight. 4. Sitting Promotes Belly Fat Belly fat prefers when you sit.  So if you want to make the fluff around your waist vanish, it's time to get up & move. Only 3 hours a week of aerobic exercise such as, walking, jogging, cycling & elliptical training can bust belly fat. You just need to do it at a fast pace.
With Omni Weight Loss Drops® you don't need to exercise!  It works without exercise!  And you can lose weight fast & easy!
5. A 1,000 Crunches Won't Do the Trick Crunches can firm up the muscles under your fat & keep your core strong, which is important for many reasons. But they won't make your fat magically disappear.  For fat burning, you need regular aerobic exercise, such as walking.
Omnitrition's Charge® gives you more energy & Omni Sport® gives you more stamina! Charge® is, also, an appetite suppressant. Gayle Sibat, Winter Springs, FL- Omni Sport® helps me get more out of my workout at the gym, especially after a long day at work.
6. Green Tea Has a Belly-Busting Effect Exercisers who drink green tea all day lose more belly fat than exercisers who don't. It could be that catechins, a compound in green tea, may boost your body's calorie- and fat-burning mechanisms.
Thermo Herbal Tea®, Omnitrition®'s unique fat burner, is formulated to help with weight loss by burning stored body fat & increasing lean muscle mass at the same time. It combines green & black tea for a great taste! Drink it before your Omnifit Vanilla Shake® & you get "shake and bake", burning even more calories.
7. TV Remotes Have a "Bye-Bye Belly Fat" Button Keep belly fat away by pushing the "off" button on your TV remote. People who cut their TV time in half consume 100 less calories per day without even trying. That's a pound every 35 days without trying!
8. You Really Can Blame It on Stress The higher your stress, the bigger your waist. Stress makes the hormone cortisol climb, which makes you crave high-calorie snacks that get stored in your belly as fat. Learn to tame your response to stress. I take Omnitrition's Charge® & Phytonutrients® to help with stress.
What are PhytoNutrients? Phytonutrients are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention. 4 of the leading causes of death in the Western countries include: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, & hypertension. Julie Guenther, Buckley, WA- I never go without them. They help keep the stresses of daily life manageable. Get your Phytonutrients® today!
9. Flat-Belly Success is Measured in Inches, Not Just Pounds You can lose in inches, not just weight.  Just like Dr. Simeon's Pounds & Inches diet, I did the Omni Weight Loss Drops® diet & lost about 16 inches & 35 pounds in 6 weeks.
10. You Can Eat More and Still Shrink Your Belly Studies have shown that people who eat six small meals a day have smaller waists than people who eat two or three large meals a day. Of course, "small" is the key. Here's how to do it right: To stop belly fat for good, avoid sugar, syrups, and saturated trans fats. Instead, eat more whole grains, lean proteins & fiber. Do exercise and practice stress control. Your waist's loss is your life's gain.  Omni Weight Loss Drops® burns stored fat, too!

6.  Apply ergonomics: When standing for long periods, put one foot forward & bend your knees slightly. Chairs should be appropriate for the task & support your lower back, if not, use a small pillow or rolled towel.

12 Foods That Can Help Lower Cholesterol Naturally

What is too high when it comes to cholesterol? A healthy total cholesterol is under 200. LDL cholesterol should be under 100. & ideal HDL is above 60. Best triglyceride levels are below 150 mg/dL. Because people with high cholesterol are at a greater risk of heart disease, it is important to take steps to keep levels in the healthy range. When cholesterol levels are high, some people choose cholesterol-lowering mediations or supplements. Others make lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, exercising & eating a healthy diet. Here are some heart-healthy foods that are particularly worth eating:
	When it comes to heart health, oatmeal is great. But other grains, like barley, are also healthy picks. Both are packed with fiber, which helps keep you full for longer so you reach for the chips less. But fiber does more than just keep you slim. Soluble fiber, the kind that the body can digest, seems to reduce the amount of cholesterol the body absorbs from the intestines, lowering total cholesterol and LDL or "bad" cholesterol in the process.
1. Oats And Barley
	The right seafood can lower cholesterol for a couple of reasons. First, eating more fish might mean that you're replacing meat in your diet, and meat contains more LDL-boosting saturated fats. Second, fish like salmon, sardines & albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have shown to lower triglycerides.
2. Fish
	Toss them in salads, sprinkle them on oatmeal or snack on them by the handful. Just about any variety of nut can lower total cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels, according to a 2010 analysis of data from 25 studies on nut consumption.
3. Nuts
	Swapping the saturated fats found in butter for the unsaturated ones in oils is a good for both your waistline & your heart. Doing so can help reduce total cholesterol, but using olive oil in particular may also increase HDL, or "good" cholesterol.
4. Olive Oil
	A medium-sized apple contains about 4 grams of LDL-lowering soluble fiber, or about 17 % of your recommended daily intake. An apple a day can help keep the heart doctor away!
5. Apples
	Strawberries are rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that can lower LDL. One study found that supplementing a heart-healthy diet with strawberries had similar results to adding oats to a heart-healthy diet. I like strawberries with my oatmeal.
6. Strawberries
	You'll also find pectin in oranges, grapefruits & other citrus fruits. And adding more fiber to your diet can lower blood pressure & reduce inflammation, both of which help your heart.
7. Citrus Fruits
	Kidney, navy, garbanzos & other beans and lentils are all great sources of soluble fiber, which helps keep you full & can reduce cholesterol. A 2008 study from Arizona State University found that people who ate a half-cup of beans a day over a 24-week period lowered their cholesterol by 8%. If you eat around 2,000 to 2,500 calories a day, aim for 1 1/2cup to 2 cups of beans a week.
8. Beans And Lentils
	Like with fish, if you're eating soy, chances are you're eating less meat, which is higher in saturated fat & cholesterol. Soy is unique in the fact that it's a great source of protein, and yet it's free of any animal products, so it's also cholesterol free. However, it's not the cholesterol-busting superpower it was once touted to be. A 2010 study found that eating soy can result in only 8 to 10 % decrease in total cholesterol.
9. Soy
	A little alcohol, in moderation, is good for you. Part of the reason why? A 2000 study established that occasional drinking of alcohol can raise HDL, or "good" cholesterol. Red wine may be particularly beneficial, since it's rich in antioxidants, which may lower LDL levels.
10. Red Wine
	Like olive oil, avocados are rich in cholesterol-lowering unsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats, the ones found in the creamy green fruit, may lower LDL & raise HDL, but only if you are replacing unhealthier dietary fats with these heart-healthy ones.
11. Avocados
	The miracle drink has been linked to everything from fighting cancer to keeping the mind sharp, but few studies have truly explained why green tea is such a powerful health elixir & just how much of it you'd need to drink to see results. While it does appear to lower "bad" cholesterol, it's only a slight reduction.
12. Green Tea
Here are the nutritional supplements from Omnitrition® that I take to help with my cholesterol:
	Most diseases & illnesses can be attributed to lack of proper nutrition. Taking Omni 4® every day will ensure you are giving your body what it needs. Omni4® contains Co-Enzyme Q10, "The Spark of Life", an anti-aging nutrient, helps with renal failure, congestive heart failure, hypertension, neurological & neuro-degenerative diseases, diabetes & cancer.

Vitamins are beneficial to our bodies to keep us healthy and provide us with healthy teeth and gums, healthy skin, hair, nails and more.
