1. Wrong Sitting and Sleeping habits
First and obviously number 1 is poor sitting and standing habits. We all like to relax but at the same we all look looking good. These things may seem to some to be mutually exclusive but they aren’t.
We slouch on the couch, throw our lower backs on a bench curving like we are a crescent moon 🌙.
Also when sleeping, curling is good but try sleeping on ur stomach and on your back as well as they hinder your from bending your spine.
Recommendation
Using improper Pillows is also a thing. If the pillows thickness is higher than the length of your shoulder, the pillow would slowly alter the structure of your spine which would inturn affect your overall posture.

2. Not emptying your stomach Regularly
This is one that most people think they aren’t guilty of, well. The guts of a person are mainly comprised of the intestines, the stomach, the liver, kidneys and a few smaller organs. Amongst this, how you eat and relieve yourself determines the size of your intestines and stomach. Meanwhile other factors affect the size of your kidneys and livers.
If you don’t empty yourself as regular as you eat, you are intentionally causing the large intestine to expand to accumulate more junk because you don’t want to let it out and this intestine can expand beyond how you can imagine. It has the ability to grow to over 3 times it’s size. That is a lot of space which would lead to your abdomen to expand to make space for it.
Recommendations:
Try emptying your internal junk, before any heavy meal or on a regular pace.
3. Breathing with your stomach
Yup!!! You read correctly. Take a minute and check this: when you breath, is your thorax expanding alone or is it expanding with your abdomen.
Your thoracic section is the section which contains your rib cage, that is from neck, through your chest ending before your stomach section. Your abdomen is the section from where your ribs end till your waist.
Recommendations:
Try doing deep controlled breaths regularly and making sure your stomach is in check when you remember while breathing.
During respiration (breathing), when we inhale (breath in) our lungs expand and our rib cage opens to accommodate the expanding lungs. The is what naturally happens and your can experience it when you take a proper deep breath and hold.
This has nothing to do with the expansion of the abdomen that people allow to happen, this habit is mostly a side effect or not exercising and allowing your organs to misalign or weak stomach muscles.
Try breathing making sure your can properly allow your lungs and chest to expand without relaxing your belly to follow the motion. There would be a level of stretching the occurs on the skin level which is normal but any other expansion would increase your belly or lead to u having an internally weaker belly which can easily expand when you drink or eat anytiny thing make your belly to always appear larger.
4. Eating heavily instead of frequently.
The problem from overfeeding is not just from that it can lead to obesity or difficulty in breathing or something related. This effects are when you go beyond and over the norms of humanity.
Every person’s stomach and intestines have a volume for which when they are in, they wouldn’t cause the belly to bulge. But, these organs are capable of expanding when you over stuff then and even grow into bigger organs the more you continue filling them to the brim.
Recommendations
Eat smaller quantities of food, if you intend to add weight, still eat small quantities of food but do it more frequently.
For example
Just like muscles, the system does not prefer to be stretched, so if it is constantly being stretched to its limit, it would simply grow so it can relax.
Eating large quantities of food on a sit would certainly lead to a large belly following the system explained above. The term large in the context is relative to the person and their system.
Children digest food faster, active people digest food faster, larger people are likely to have larger stomachs meaning they can hold more without causing their stomachs to stretch out. This is a chat that can help you compare the volume of food that you should eat at a time.
Naturally 3 square meals of eating just enough to match your size and system should be enough but for those interested in adding weight without adding their belly size and spoiling their shapes should remember to eat at least 4 hours after a previous meal. And the can check here for more tips on that goal.
5. Starving
I know what you are thinking, how is not putting water in a bottle make it bigger? You have to know that the belly is a muscular container, without the muscles to keep your internal organs in shape, everything would just be anywhere any time.
How does starving lead to a bigger belly?
When you starve, the muscles in your stomach are broken down and used as a source of energy. This muscle which were supposed to be used to properly keep your organs protected and in place would now be absent and you real abdomen section would remain shape less.
Recommendations
Make sure to eat at least every 10 hours.
6. Lifting things with your waist and spine.
This is also one of those things that people don’t think before doing but end up doing it intentionally. The body uses muscles to perform majority of movements. Carrying things is a form of movement but here’s the problem, the muscles of the spin and upper waist are not designed for lifting things. They are designed for keeping us upright.
This muscles are aligned to provide alignment and are constantly working everyday. That is why it is not very recommended to focus on them during a workout routine.
Using this muscles in poor alignment would lead to them loosing their alignment which would lead to you being poorly structured which can lead to further issues. If you have this already, here’s how to fix it.
Recommendations
Always practice lifting using your legs. You do this by taking a squatting position in front of what you intend to lift then grabbing it with your arms and as you stand up you carry the item. This prevents strain on your spin and would let to you build a rounder butt.
7. Pushing your back outside to hide your stomach or breast
Recommendations
8. Not getting enough sleep.
Recommendations
9. Not stretching your body regularly.
Stretching helps the body relax muscles that build up stress on a daily basis. At times, the stress in these muscles can cause them loose their strength, structure or alignment.
Recommendations
10. Being Insecure about your body.
Being insecure about your body also finds itself here, that is because some features may either stand out on you more than on others or maybe you have features that don’t show. Some ladies would prefer to hide their breast by bending their backs, some would hide their stomachs by bending their backs, some move around head down just due to low self esteem and all these are terrible things to do, as in they’ll do more worse than they are worth.
Recommendations
Stand up tall, look at people on their faces. Know your problems, learn how to properly fix them. Let the things that you have naturally be things you are proud of instead of things you try to hide.
