Stress is bad for your body, there is no doubt here. Not only does it decrease your immune defenses, but it also increases fat in the worst place possible-inside your stomach cavity.

Now keep in mind that even if you have low subcutaneous fat, you could be holding onto excess internal fat in your stomach. And this type of fat does not look good because it causes the typical pot belly look.

So here is how to lower stress for accelerated fat loss:

1. Discover your patterns of arousal: And the best way to do this, perhaps the only way, is to keep a running log of events. You see, its’ simply too hard to keep track of all the details in your head. You have to have some type of record keeping to figure out what makes you go over the edge.

2. Speed up the flooding: If you are being flooded by stress or anger, let it flood you. The key here is to let it flood you while doing something physical. You see, biologically, you are made to deal with stress in a physical way-this is how your body best gets rid of it.

3. Be careful with internal wording: The way you talk to yourself can make a world of difference. Even the simple switching of single words can make you feel much better. The key here is to stay away from absolutes like “never”, “always”, so on and so forth. These types of words are very damaging.

4. Tap into your network again and again: Doing so is perhaps the most effective tool for managing stress. You see, we are made to work in groups. And if you tap into your group, not only will you gain valuable insights, but you will also feel a blanket of security.

5. Fill up your piggy bank: Doing so will help you prevent the biggest modern stressor of all: financial ruin. Too many people live lives full of fear and uncertainty because of money. By saving some day in and day out, you will buffer yourself against this stressor.

Stress should not be taken lightly. After all, it is a killer-there is no doubt about this. So make sure you take action on this information today. If you wait, you will most likely forget what you have learned.
