2 Belly fat, or any area of your body that seems to accumulate more fat for that matter, is hereditary. Where you gain it and where you lose it depends largely on genes. However there are certain factors that can increase belly fat, stress is one of them.

Increased stress leads to increases in the hormone cortisol which causes your body to store fat in your middle and your butt. It's an evolutionary thing that never went away. Another factor is what you eat and drink.

Carbohydrates, especially ones from processed sugar, pasta and white breads, causes fat to be stored in the belly. You are better off with complex carbohydrates such as those found in whole grain breads. Alcohol also has a lot of fat carbs, and sugar that can lead to a "beer gut."

However, some of that "fat" may be bloat. If you've noticed that you feel puffy in your middle after eating certain foods you may want to cut those foods out. Salt can cause bloating because the sodium makes your cells retain water and blow up.

Also carbonated beverages, drinking with a straw, and eating too fast thus swallowing alot of air can cause bloating. (Think starving kids in Africa with the little pot bellies and emaciated bodies. ) While cutting down bloat might make your belly feel slightly flatter for the time being, it isn't going to take off any actual fat from the are.

Just make you feel better. As for losing the belly fat you already have, contrary to popular belief, you cannot "spot train," or lose weight on a specific area of your body. No amount of sit ups will melt fat off your stomach it will only serve to tighten the muscles under the fat.

The only sure fire way to lose weight is cardio. And, like I said, where you lose weight first from this cardio is genetic. If you are a woman, most likely you will lose in the chest area first.(Unfortunately, I know.) Best advice is to eat well and exercise right.

Hope this helped. Let me know if I left anything out.P.S.I too suffer from belly fat it runs in the fam .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
