5 easy ways to get a flatter stomach
1. Skip the salt shaker
The sodium found in salt encourages your body to retain water. Of course, the majority of our daily sodium intake comes from processed foods, so be sure to read nutrition labels, and watch out for salty snacks. Instead of salt, add some flavour to dishes with grated lemon rind or your favourite fresh or dried herbs.
2. Chew food slowly and well
3. Avoid using drinking straws
4. Don’t make carbonated beverages or beer your drink of choice
5. Relax, and be a good listener, at mealtime
