How to Get 6 Pack Abs – Daily Healthy Lifestyle Tips to Adopt for Easy Weight Management

While a nutritious diet and an effective workout of exercises are essential in helping you getting the 6 pack abs, our daily lifestyle habits also play a key role in determining the amount of fats build up in our body.

Below are a few useful tips that we will need to pay particular attention to if you want to minimize the amount of fats being build up in your body and they are as follows :

1) Stress Level
2) Getting enough sleep
3) Staying well hydrated

1) Stress Level

A substantial high level of physical and emotional stress will increase the amount of catabolic hormone cortisol. Having an excessive amount of cortisol will lead to muscle breakdown and will in turn, encourage the increase in storage of body fats.

How to maintain a healthy stress level :

- Take 30-60 seconds a few times in a day to just relax , close your eyes and breathe deeply and slowly.
- Try yoga or qigong .
- Learn how to calm down and don’t let the everyday hassles bother you too much.

2) Getting enough sleep

Studies have shown that just one or two hours less sleep than what you need per night will lead to an increase in cortisol levels which will again lead to muscle loss and fat gain. The recommended hours of sleep each night is 7-8 hours for an individual to operate at his highest efficiency.

How to ensure enough sleep :

Getting 7-8 hours is definitely a tough feat to achieve for many of us who have a hectic schedule. A good way to counter this would be to have a detailed planning schedule for your everyday chores after work. For example, Monday could be the day to do the groceries. Tuesday would be the day to do the laundry and so on. Share the workload with your partner where possible. Utilize your time wisely and practice good time management. In this way, you will be able to squeeze out more time for your night sleep.

3) Staying well hydrated.

By staying well hydrated, your body will be able to work better, burn fats better, your exercising performance will be maximized and lastly, your appetite will be suppressed and you will not overeat.

How to stay well hydrated :

Experts have recommended 8-10 glasses of water consumption each day. The colour of your urine is a good telltale sign in determining whether are you well-hydrated. Your ultimate aim will be to obtain clear or very light yellow urine. Once it gets darker, you will have to drink more water. Make it a habit to carry a few drinking bottles with you and take a few sips throughout the day. Avoid sweetened drinks as the extra calories will just be stored as body fats.

With these few simple tweats in your daily lifestyle habits,you will be able to take better control over your own body's weight management effectively.
