Secret of pot belly

A recent research has revealed that you can get a pot belly if your daily intake of Vitamin C and Calcium in the food is less.

According to the report, those who take less than 56 mg of Vitamin C (recommended Vitamin C is 75 mg per day), the chances of fat accumulation rises upto 131%. So take sufficient quantities of vit.c naturally through fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is eliminated from the body in 12 hours, so maintain this vitamin by distributing your intake throughout the day.
Study says that Calcium taken less than 398 mg increases the chances of accumulating fat around stomach to 30%(recommended calcium per day is 1000mg in the age group 19-50 and 1200mg in the age group 50-70 years). If calcium intake is lower than recommended, it not only leads to thinning of bones and osteoporosis, but also increases the fat around the tummy.
It is a fact that sufficient amounts of Vitamin C and Calcium in the body do not allow the fat to accumulate in the mid section.
