You have exercised for a few months and you still can not zip up your favorite jeans?

Most women find it difficult to get rid of the belly fat, mostly because of the 5 following reasons, but we have given a perfect solution for each of them, in order to help you finally get a flat and sexy stomach.

Your Body Lacks Magnesium

Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 chemical reactions in the body, including maintaining normal heart rate, regulating the blood sugar, and others. In addition to this, this mineral can help you lose weight and shape your body, and studies have shown that it also reduces the fluid retention during the menstrual cycle, which means that it reduces the bloating.

Solution: Consume food rich in magnesium, such as leafy green vegetables and nuts. You can also take magnesium as a dietary supplement. The recommended daily intake for women younger than 30 is 310 mg, and women older than 30 should take 320 mg.

You Do The Wrong Exercises

When trying to lose weight many people focus on static cardio exercises, such as running on a treadmill. Running with the same pace for 45 minutes will help you lose some weight at the beginning, but your metabolism will soon adjust, and you will stop burning calories once you get off the treadmill.

Solution: If you want to get rid of the belly fat do some exercises that require use of strength, such as weight lifting. This sport activity will release that much energy, that you will burn calories even two days after the exercise.

High intensity exercises in intervals are the most efficient, and you can make your own program by combining different activities, such as running, swimming, cycling, as well as strength training.

You Do Not Sleep Enough

The lack of sleep can cause serious changes to your body line. Researchers have shown that women who sleep five or less hours have 32 percent more chances of increasing the weight in the next 16 years, unlike women who sleep more.

Moreover, women who sleep just 4 hours a day often eat 300 additional calories during the day, and this comes only because of the fact that the lack of sleep increases the activity of the ghrelin hormone, responsible for the appetite.

Solution: Try to sleep 7 to 9 hours a day. Quality sleeping is also important, so remove every electronic device that might bother you. Maintain a comfortable room temperature -- 18 degrees is the perfect temperature for the body. Avoid consuming caffeine after the lunch and go to bed always at the same time.

You Eat Too Much Salt

If you often feel bloated after a salty meal, it does not only seem so. Too much salt pushes the water from the blood flow to the skin, causing bloating.

Most people enter more than the recommended 2300 mg sodium per day. Even if you are not using to much cooking salt, you are probably entering the excess sodium through other foods, such as canned food, dry meat delicacies, and even some dairy products.

Solution: Avoid adding salt to your dishes. Instead of doing so, enhance the taste using healthy herbal spices. Add more chili powder, cayenne peppers, cumin, ginger, basil, parsley, rosemary or cinnamon.

You Often Drink Carbonated Drinks

Carbonated drinks are rich in empty calories, and even those known to contain 0 calories can cause obesity. Namely, carbonated drinks are associated with the fatty deposits around the waist and the abdomen, and regular consumption of zero-calorie carbonated drinks can not only cause belly fat, but it can also result in fatty deposits on the whole body.

Solution: Stop this circle and start consuming water and unsweetened tea with your meals, and let this be your everyday routine. If desired, sweeten regular water with some pieces of fruit. Coffee is also good, but try not to add any sugar in it.
