3 exercises to tone your abdomen

Having a firm and flat abdomen is the dream of many people, however, and although it seems like a difficult task, it is not impossible to achieve it. Currently there are various techniques that strengthen the abdomen without having to do the traditional sit- ups .


Towel training is based on isometric exercises that consist of a sustained muscle contraction without flexion and extension movement, which strengthens all the abdominal , transverse, internal and external oblique muscles. Salud180 recommends the following routine for a steel abdomen.


What material do you need?


Two small towels.

Routine

 

1. Pike: Bring your feet forward with the towels, using your abs .


2. Plank: In push-up position, bring one leg to the opposite side using your side abs , do a push-up, then bring the other leg up and repeat the push-up.


3. Plank with movement: In a push-up position, with the towels in your hands, circle out and in with one arm and then do the same with the other. Keep your back straight and don't move your hips.


Do this routine twice a week on inconsequential days. Always make sure you perform the postures correctly. The neck should be in line with the spine , the back should be straight and the hips firm. You will soon notice the results!

Gestational obesity and vitamin B12 deficiency

Low vitamin B12 (cobalamin) levels can cause weight gain in pregnant women.  This is the conclusion of a study conducted by scientists from the University of Warwick Medical School in Great Britain. British specialists compared fat cells obtained from laboratory cultures with samples taken from pregnant women. The analysis showed that the increased production of these cells occurs when there is not enough vitamin B12 in the pregnant woman's body.  This information suggests that low vitamin B12 levels may predispose pregnant women to obesity. - The results of our study show that low levels of vitamin B12 impair the metabolism of fat cells, which can lead to increased fat accumulation, deterioration of its processing and post-inflammatory damage.  All these factors predispose to weight gain - comments the researcher Jinous Samavat, emphasizing the important role of vitamin B12 supplementation, the so-called  red vitamin during pregnancy.

Short fasts make it easy to lose weight if they are practiced with a few precautions.  It is not a question of being brutalized: on the contrary!  Better to start small and take it step by step.  We give you the procedure to follow. When you have never skipped a meal, it is with this preliminary that you must begin:  identify and listen to your food sensations, and not  eat without hunger  .  “  Our western society eats a lot, and it is formatted on the principle of having 3 meals a day (which is still recent and does not exist everywhere in the world). But, in reality, no scientific data proves that this food organization has a real interest in weight and health. This translates into knowing how to adapt your meals (and their quantity) to your appetite, but also skipping those for which you are not actually hungry.  This allows you to realize that you can feel good without eating every 4 hours.  Because contrary to what is sometimes bel...
