3. Healthy Lifestyle Habits
Prioritize Quality Sleep
Lack of sleep disrupts hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, which can trigger cravings. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest per night.
Manage Stress
Chronic stress raises cortisol, a hormone that encourages belly fat storage. Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
4. Avoid Bloat-Inducing Foods

High-salt diets lead to water retention and bloating. Avoid processed, packaged, or fast foods high in sodium.
