“Reduce stomach naturally without surgery. You will lose weight and look great.”
From the studies below, it is safe to assume that whatever can help reduce the stomach size will help control appetite and thus weight reduction. Further proof is the extreme example of surgical procedure to reduce stomach size. One of the major reasons for surgery to promote weight loss is that the operations close off parts of the stomach to make it smaller. Operations that only reduce stomach size are known as "restrictive operations" because they restrict the amount of food the stomach can hold.
Note: We are
not suggesting surgery but there are natural ways to reduce stomach.
The stomach is a muscular
organ - about the size of your hand - that stretches when full and returns to
normal when empty. This stretching of the stomach is only temporary. The size
of stomach that varies among individuals, affects food intake.
Although bigger people tend to have bigger appetites, the size of the
stomach--and not just the size of the body--appears to affect the feeling of
fullness, or satiation, during and after a meal, according to research from the
Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota.
The investigators found that compared with normal-weight adults, those who were
overweight or obese took longer to feel satiated at mealtime. Similarly, those
whose empty stomachs were larger needed more calories to feel completely full.
It was not merely a matter of bigger people having bigger stomachs, said the
researchers. Instead, the size of a person's empty stomach (called fasting gastric
volume) was related to a feeling of fullness independent of body size.
Their study included 134 healthy volunteers who, after an overnight fast, drank
a liquid meal until they reached maximum satiation. Their stomach volume before
and after eating was measured through non-invasive imaging. The researchers
found that both body mass index (BMI) and fasting gastric volume were
independently linked to the time it took participants to become full.
The study suggests that factors governing stomach volume might predispose
people to obesity and could serve as targets for weight-control tactics. These
control mechanisms could range from eating patterns, such as whether a person
eats small meals throughout the day or tends to binge, to hormones, to the nerves
that control stomach contraction and relaxation (Gastroenterology, February
2004).
Conclusion: Reduced stomach not only
improves the appearance but helps control weight. Because, reduced stomach
makes you feel full with less food reducing the amount of food eaten and thus
the calories consumed. This leads to weight loss. Therefore, you're killing two
birds with one-stone, the reduced stomach which reduces weight in this simple
but effective exercise from “The Power of Breathing.”
Quiz: Who is more likely to die early?
A. An overweight person with a flat stomach.
B. A normal-weight person with a big stomach.
Answer: B.
Surprisingly, a normal-weight man or woman who has a big stomach is more likely to die early from heart disease than an overweight or even obese man or woman who has a flat stomach.
That's why "Banish Belly" is an important part of losing weight.
