How to Get Rid Of Double Chin Within A Week?
A Double Chin aka submental fat is those extra layers of fat that develop beneath your chin. You don’t necessarily have to be overweight or obese to have a double chin, it can be due to several factors including your age, diet, lifestyle habits as well as genetics. If you are someone who’s bothered about the extra flab beneath your chin, try out these simple ways to get rid of it quickly.
Simple exercises:
- Chewing gum can be a minor workout for your facial muscles, especially that of your jaw. When you chew gum regularly, you can notice an overall fat loss in your chin. Also, chewing gum can help you lose weight by reducing the number of calories in your diet.
- Ball exercises such as the ball squeeze can help reduce that flab off your chin. In a seated position with your back straight and shoulders relaxed, place a 10-inch ball under your chin and then press it into a firm motion. Do it 25 times every day.
- Kiss the ceiling. Stand straight with your shoulders and keep your arms loosediv. Then slowly tilt your head backward and look upwards. Pucker your lips and try to kiss the ceiling and extend it to the maximum. Ensure that the area beneath your chin is stretching when you do this. Hold that position for 20 seconds and repeat the exercises for 15 times.
- Neck rotations help you move all the muscles around your chin and jaw. Try stretching your neck from one side to another and repeat this for 10 times in both directions.
Diet tips:
If your double chin is because you are overweight or obese, losing weight can help get rid of it. Here are some tips for healthy eating:
- Cut down processed foods and fried foods
- Consume a low-fat dairy-rich diet
- Include a lot of vegetables and fruits in your diet
- Consume whole grains instead of refined grains
- Consume sugar in moderation
- Include healthy fats including avocados, nuts, and olive oil
Lifestyle modifications:
- Moderate physical activity up to 300 minutes per week or 45 minutes per day, as recommended by the Mayo clinic.
If your double chin is due to genetic factors, you could consider surgical options including lipolysis (heat from a laser to melt away fat and contour your skin) and mesotherapy (small amounts of fat-dissolving compounds delivered through injections).
