The burden of having the perfect body is on every person in society but it doesn’t have to be. The idea of a perfect body set by the media is not really perfect. Everyone is built differently and has a unique physique. People of all shapes and sizes can be healthy – or they can be at risk for diseases like heart disease or diabetes. And only a competent physician can decide this, not a nosy relative who wants you to lose weight.
That being said, if you get regular checkups and your doctor has advised you to lose some belly fat but you don’t have the time to join a gym, this blog is for you.
By following simple and effective exercises for belly fat reduction you can tone your tummy to a healthier size.
Simple Exercises for Belly Fat

Bring Back Bicycles
Whatever happened to the good old days when you explored the neighbourhood on your bicycle? It’s time to bring them back.

Bariatric Surgery: A Weight Loss Treatment
Bariatric surgery is not a fat removal surgery; rather, it is a long-term weight loss treatment. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries that make alterations to your digestive tract to help you lose weight are referred to as bariatric surgery.
Ayu Health perform all kinds of bariatric surgeries. These include ?
- Gastric Bypass Surgery: A treatment that limits both the amount of food that the stomach can hold and the absorption of calories and nutrients.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this procedure, 80% of the stomach is removed. This makes it smaller hence it cannot hold as much food and also reduces appetite.
- Gastric Band: An adjustable gastric band is wrapped over the top of the stomach, forming a smaller pouch above. Less food is stored, and patients feel fuller faster. With regular tweaks, the band is reduced in size over time.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion With Duodenal Switch: There are two major phases to this procedure. The first phase is a sleeve gastrectomy, which removes approximately 80% of the stomach. The second phase bypasses the majority of the intestine by connecting the end segment of the intestine to the segment near the stomach. This decreases nutrient absorption and limits how much you can eat, including proteins and fats.
Bariatric surgeries have many advantages compared to other fat removal surgeries like liposuction. Some of which include ?
- Improved glucose and insulin levels, leading to amelioration and even resolution of type 2 diabetes
- Improved cardiovascular health
- Improved fertility and alleviated PCOS symptoms
- Joint pain relief
- Elimination of sleep apnea
*It is important to note that bariatric surgery is not recommended for everyone who is overweight. It is usually recommended when other weight-loss approaches, such as diet and exercise, have failed or when you are experiencing major health issues as a result of your obesity.
