No doubt, the researchers have eyes only for our belly button since they discovered that more than 100 000 billion bacteria live there (of 170 different species) and that the intestine is equipped with 200 million neurons, number equivalent to that of a dog or cat brain. Hence the interest of seriously taking care of our intestinal ecosystem, the microbiota.
On the one hand, by monitoring these precious hosts, which, via their secretions in the immune and circulatory systems, influence the brain . On the other hand by controlling the permeability of the intestinal mucosa.
The belly, our second brain
"If it is reduced to a strainer, toxic substances escape and colonize joints, tissues, blood, immune system , brain ... with fatigue, osteo-articular and muscular pain, eczema, allergies, repetitive infections (especially digestive), overweight, food intolerance (mainly lactose and gluten), depression, stress, migraines "explains Dr. Didier Chos *.
"For beyond calories , we must take into account the functional aspect of food, its impact on biological mechanisms, including those who play in this relationship bowel-brain-disease-allergy."
The right strategy: grow these live bacteria - the probiotics - and the prebiotics that feed them to restore this precious intestinal flora. To balance it.
Vary your diet
Prebiotics and fiber in fruits and vegetables are monitored: asparagus, artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, dandelion, garlic, onions, salsify, rye bread.
Resistant starches are also monitored: cooked and chilled potatoes, cold rice and pasta salad, low-ripe banana, white beans, lentils, chickpeas, mushrooms, barley and buckwheat.
If the body is not used, it will adopt this new diet gradually to avoid too much fermentation.
Probiotics are filled with fermented milks (miso and kefir), yogurts, sauerkraut and / or dietary supplements.
Only a doctor specialized in micronutrition can, after a precise interrogation and if necessary an examination, can identify the exact strains to swallow. Otherwise, there are supplements that provide a standard range of strains.
Lifter the belly skin with a cream "anti-roundness"
Because the belly makes the bed of fat and not that of cellulite , a special slimming treatment applied by circular movements in the direction of clockwise, with an exemplary regularity (every day) and a little patience (two to three weeks minimum), can offer visible results.
Their formulas favor active ingredients that seek to destock fatty acids in adipocytes and fight against their resettlement. Some also offer toning and lifting assets.
Give a youthful touch to your belly with a thalassotherapy cure

In addition to massage baths, wraps and adapted showers, the cure includes pool rehabilitation sessions, specific massages and Cellu-M6 sessions.
A dietary aid is provided to eat better to rebalance the intestinal flora, as well as self-massage and abdominal breathing.
Go to the hypopressive gym
The learning of hypopressive gym , developed by Marcel Caufriez, doctor of motor sciences and rehabilitation, which tones 80% of muscle fibers of the perineum and abdominals is ideal. Sitting down or lying down, we inhale deeply, we breathe out while emptying the air as much as possible. We block the breathing then we suck and maintain as long as possible.
To do twelve times daily (for a quarter of an hour) over a period of one month in the attack phase, then every other day the next five months. Balance: 1 cm of waist circumference less per month, or 6 cm in six months. To maintain a quarter of an hour a week. A unique technique to strengthen the abdomen and refine the waist.
Opt for "thin waist" massages
Curvatures are readily available under the belly button. In question: heredity, stress, poor diet, hormones. If diet and sport have little impact, deep massage is a good indication to mobilize and eliminate fat.
The famous LPG method offers two targeted treatments of fifteen minutes. Another option is a massage that relaxes and mobilizes fat. We choose a harmony of essential oils (energy, relaxation, harmony) that is mixed with Flat Belly Thinness Concentrate. For half an hour, the beautician concentrates on energetic and adipocyte zones, then performs a Japanese palpation-sliding, also privileging breathing and relaxation.
