What To Do About Belly Fat
Thoughtful Thursday
No one likes to admit they have it. No one likes to talk about it. But it is there...always hanging around! Belly Fat!
Belly fat is the visceral kind of fat, which is more likely to raise your risk for serious medical issues like heart disease, Alzheimer's, cancer, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high cholesterol (~Web MD).
What factors increase belly fat?
Eating foods high in added sugars, a more sedentary lifestyle, and lack of proper sleep are some of the factors linked with increased belly fat.
Now add STRESS to the mix! When you're stressed, your body releases cortisol, which can impact your metabolism and trigger the storage of more visceral fat.
What can we do about belly fat?
Here are three of my favorite oils with tips on how to integrate them into your daily routine!
The MetaPWR Blend promotes healthy metabolism, helps manage hunger cravings, calms your stomach and lifts your mood. Add a drop or two to each glass of water or take the convenient softgels, beadlets or gum.
Grapefruit essential oil supports healthy metabolism, reduces mental and physical fatigue (to help get you off the couch), and cleanses and purifies, too! You can take a few drops internally AND apply it topically with FCO to your abdomen to help target the inches around your belly.
Fennel essential oil supports a healthy lymphatic system to get rid of impurities. It's sweet taste helps bust sugar and carb cravings. For this reason, I love to apply a single drop to my gums when I feel nachie.

Of course, all of the levels of the healthy lifestyle pyramid contribute so it is super important to eat right, move every day, get proper rest, reduce your toxic load, and take care of life's little emergencies before they become big ones!
Sending love and blessings for health and happiness your way, today and every day!
