Like I said, your body essentially needs a proper diet plan and exercise. You must maintain a calorie count whenever you have a bite of any food. Similarly, you should exercise to burn the calories you ate. If you have a balance between food and exercise then none of the health issues will have an effect on your body.

2. Lower Belly Fat
Surprisingly, Lower belly fat occurs because of anxiety, stress and depression. All these three body reactions will produce a stress-hormone known as ‘cortisol’. When your body excites cortisol, your lower abdomen will store excess fat. So, your small or major feelings will show up a great effect on your body. Furthermore, irregular sleep timings or sleeping patterns can cause a lot of negative impact on your body, especially on your lower abdomen.
Next time when you feel nervous, anxious, stressed or depressed just think about your poor belly. What did it do to you? Don’t harm it.
Here’s the wonderful tip!
Don’t stress yourself too much for any reason, it may be work stress, relationships stress, examinations stress or mathematics stress. Stay calm, cool and be successful. Remember successful people have only two things on their lips – Silence and Smile. Similarly, don’t feel too depressed or don’t show up over anxiety for little things coz, in the end, you should live a long life.
You can also munch on foods that decrease your cortisol levels and soothe your body. Practise some breathing exercises if possible!

3. Lower body fat (Thighs and Buttock)
Lower body fat is all about the calories you consume. How much calories you consume, that much you will gain fat at your thighs area. So, reducing calorie intake is the first step to follow since your body naturally utilizes excess fat as its next energy source. Your body either uses calories or energy for the body functions like respiration or blood circulation. When you consume more calories than you burn, your body stores the excess calories in fat cells. Thereby your thigh area expands more and more as you consume.
This tip is important!
You should not only lower your calorie intake but also you should cut down on fatty foods, fried foods, excess gluten and refined carbohydrates such as french fries, vegetable oil, pizza, white rice, bread, pasta, sugar and many more. Rather munch on some significant portions of fresh, boiled or steamed delightful veggies.
The second tip which helps you to get rid of thigh fat or buttock fat is by performing simple exercises. Exercising your body is the most effective way to tone your leg muscles.

This type of body fat is usually diagnosed in the people who travel quite often on buses, trains or flights. When you sit constantly for a long time, the lower part of your body such as legs tends to swell. Also, during pregnancy, water retention in the legs is the most common issue.
Here is the solution!
Don’t consume the salty foods which are responsible for the water retention in your body. Drink more water and pee often so that the fluids will go away from your body. Most importantly, don’t sit constantly for more than 30 minutes at a place. Walk, walk and walk as much as you can. Use the staircase instead of elevators.
