It is well known that prolonged periods of inactivity and a diet high in saturated fat and high sugar can lead to us storing fat in our midsection that surrounds our internal organs, known as 'visceral fat.'

Some of the fat from fat cells get into the main vein that supplies and delivers blood to the liver, and then ends raising cholesterol levels. It can also cause a variety of health issues like increased blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and type 2 Diabetes.

Unfortunately, we can't target any of these fat reserves specifically, as our bodies lose overall body fat and since we can't target our bellies specifically, no number of crunches will help us burn reserves there faster.

This means that to get rid of belly fat, you have to do exactly the same exercise you would do if you wanted to lose weight in general. The best way to do this is through a combination of cardio, high burn and High Intensity Interval Training workouts. While exercise helps you burn fat, it does build muscle, depending on the exercise.

That's why it's recommended that you concentrate on cardio, instead of ab work in general. You can still do some ab exercises if your end goal is having strong abdominal wall or a six pack, but avoid making it the centre of your training.

Other ways of losing belly fat are:

• Adopting an active lifestyle and cutting out high sugar and high saturated fat foods will eventually lead to a flat and healthy stomach. "
• The only way to get permanent results is to introduce conditions you can then maintain for the rest of your life. Small changes introduced gradually in your lifestyle will make a big difference in the long run.
• When you do anything too extreme you will end up with more weight than you started with, the moment you stop your training and dieting regimen.

Our bodies adapt to any monotonous training, so the trick here is to keep your regime fresh:

• Do HIIT, jogging and sprints, body weight circuits and strength training. The more confused your body is the better the results you'll get. Implement regular daily exercise into your life, and make it your goal to complete at least one routine each day.

Not everyone can afford to eat healthy with fresh fruit and vegetables daily, therefore most of us have to settle for 'healthier.' The easiest way to do that is to make small adjustments to the quality of food and reduce portion sizes. Even eating pasta and rice in small amounts will lead to fat loss in the long run.

Stress is a contributing problem. We eat more comfort when we're stressed and we can't process the food we eat properly. The easiest way to deal with stress, is to take time out and detach from a problem or stressful situation, for a few minutes. It may only takes a few minutes to de-stress and then feel and function better for the rest of the day.

Getting rid of belly fat takes patience and regular work and better choices on a daily basis. As with everything, there are simply no shortcuts that will give you permanent results, it's all about lifestyle choices and hard work. It usually pays off.
