Exercising
There are several exercises that contribute to tightening the abdominal and chest muscles. They include the following:
Cardio Exercises:
It is recommended to perform cardio exercises four to six times a week, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes to enhance fat burning, especially in the chest area.
Push-ups:
Push-ups effectively tighten chest muscles, strengthening the chest, shoulders, and arms. This exercise can be performed by lying on your stomach, lifting your body using your hands and toes, keeping your back and arms straight, and aligning your neck with your spine, then lowering your body slowly.
Drinking Plenty of Water
It is important to drink about 8-10 cups of water daily, as hydrating the body is one of the key factors to maintain skin elasticity and prevent sagging. This amount depends on an individual’s level of physical activity.
Creams
Creams can help effectively tighten the skin. It is preferable to use creams containing vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin A, or aloe vera, as these ingredients promote collagen and elastin levels in the body.
Avoiding Foods Rich in Unhealthy Fats
It is essential to avoid foods high in unhealthy fats, which can damage and degrade the skin, leading to the accumulation of visceral fat. Therefore, it is recommended to consume less than 7% of fats in the diet, aiming for a total fat intake of no more than 20-30% of total calories.
Collagen
Using collagen lotion or cream effectively nourishes the skin, leading to the tightening of sagging skin. This method is considered safer and less painful than surgery.
