Losing weight requires endurance, a large dose of motivation and the practice of regular slimming programs. But if attendance in a slimming project is not your prerogative, there are non-cumbersome tips you can use without weighing down your daily routine. In an article published by our colleagues of the ETIMES, there are breathing techniques, allowing to lose weight. But there are other tips as effective as you can use daily.
These are simple and practical tips that will seem so obvious to you that you will wonder why you have not thought of it!
Your weight loss goes through your breathing
It is in fact a ventral breathing technique that is based on the same principles as sophrology. The large amount of inhaled oxygen will stimulate the oxidation of fat in your stomach. This is because this oxidation transforms lipids into three essential elements of the body: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The last two are combined and form the water present in your body, as for the carbon it is ejected by the lungs. This could explain why physical exercise helps to lose weight because there is an acceleration of breathing and therefore more lipid oxidation.
For exercise, just breathe a good shot through the mouth, block the breathing by inflating the belly counting to 10 and then exhale energetically through the nostrils. Repeat the exercise 5 minutes daily for more efficiency. This ventral breathing technique also reduces your anxiety and your daily stress level.
Contrast the temperature of your shower
It would surely surprise you to know that you can lose weight with a routine like your daily shower. The hypothesis would be that the contrast between the temperatures under the shower would help to soothe delayed muscle pain. This operation would activate your blood circulation rhythmically avoiding water retention and therefore weight gain. This will also allow you to start your day with a healthier mood.
At the end of your shower, start with a jet of hot water (with a temperature that you can withstand) for two minutes, then a jet of cold water for two minutes as well. Do this at three different intervals.
Do a massage yourself
It is true that institute massages are relatively expensive, especially when it comes to slimming massage. This does not mean that you can not do it at home. The best-known method is the palpate-rolling which has the ability to directly attack the fat deposits. It is an effective approach that reduces the effect of cellulite and orange peel. Be careful, if your cellulite is more or less long, the first sessions will be painful but you have to stick to it, it will become easier later.
Just take a skin fold at your thighs or the precise area you want to thin, roll and then knead in continuous movements by going first from bottom to top then from top to bottom so to dislodge the fat and melt it. Do not hesitate to use an oil or a slimming product to facilitate the massage for more efficiency.
Remember that losing weight also depends on your lifestyle. It's not about starving yourself or starving yourself, but rather about rebalancing food or re-evaluating your eating habits. You can keep the same pace of food, but try to reduce the number of times you eat carbohydrate-rich foods.
One of the best tips is substitution. When preparing a meal, you can substitute high-calorie ingredients with others that contain less, without altering the taste.
