I am a 40-year-old mother of two children. I recently noticed that my tummy is bulging. This has greatly affected my otherwise slim figure. Kindly advise me on what to do.

Your bulging tummy is due to an accumulation of belly fat which you will need to get rid of. One of the ways of doing this is to increase your fiber intake in order to displace the fat in your body. You therefore need to eat more of vegetables and fruits. While an increased water intake is helpful in helping to burn your belly fat, regular consumption of groundnuts which can help fill up your tummy and reduce your fatty intake is also good. In addition, you need to remove alcohol and fizzy carbonated drinks from your diet. Excessive salt in your diet leads to excessive fluid retention in the body and should therefore be avoided. Exercises especially aerobics, push ups, tennis and long walks are also good for burning off fats. So also are jogging, biking and dancing.
