Job pressure, financial insecurity, problems in personal relations, traffic & pollution all take a heavy toll of our mental well being.nnAll the above factors combined with continuous negative thinking and not living in the present moment lead to a pressure-cooker environment of the mindnnAll of us lead a life either in the past or in the future.Your mind either thinks about the past or fantasizes and worries about the past. Nobody lives in the present moment living every moment and enjoying it as it is!nnThis constant oscillation of the mind from past to present and present to past like a pendulum takes a heavy toll of your mind and body.Stress builds up and ageing becomes accelerated.The efficiency of the body’s various fat burning organs becomes very low.nnStress is the main cause of stored toxins in the body. These toxins impair the normal functioning of the various fat burning and excretory organs like thyroid gland, lever, kidney etc.nnThis results in the body not being able to cope up with even normal pressures exerted at various levels due to heavy work or faulty diet and the net result is obesity and weight gain.nnAccumulated stress and anxiety from daily stress full modern living releases a hormone known as cortisole.nnResearch indicates that Cortisole is the hormone responsible for preferential deposition of fat in the abdominal area.nnSo if you want a sexy six pack, getting rid of stress is very important.nnThere are thousands of books on relieving stress and positive thinking. But no book has the exact answer for the varied stressful states of mind.nnYour breath has a vital connection with your mind.

Since it never reaches intestine, the intestine doesn’t give "full" signal to the brain. This causes the person to eat more. It has been observed that you tend to eat atleast 400 calories more when you are drunk.nnSo, to reduce abdominal fat you need to reduce alcohol consumption or atleast reduce fat consumption whenever you drink.nnSpot reduction of abdominal fat is very difficult because fat melts evenly throughout the body. As such to reduce abdominal fat you must strive to reduce fat all over the body.nnExpelling the toxins out of your system and correcting the body’s fat burning mechanism can achieve this. Detailed explanation of how to do this has been explained in my e-book.nnAlcohol also seems to make the body burn less fat and favours fat storage and subsequent weight gain.nnAdditionally, doing crunches regularly will help you a great deal in overcoming excess abdominal fat.nnYou can get more cutting edge fat burning secrets in my Free 5day email ecourse by subscribing to my newsletter at: www.eweightlosstips.com/weightlossltr.htm
