Getting rid of belly fat isn't just a cosmetic desire, it's also essential for better health. Belly fat is one of the easiest and most difficult areas to lose fat. In fact, belly fat increases the risk of premature death even in people who are at a healthy weight.
If you are trying to get rid of that extra fat around your waist, try these foods.
The most effective foods to reduce belly fat
Bean

Beans are a great way to slim your waistline. Beans are high in soluble fiber, which helps reduce inflammation in your digestive system. Chronic inflammation can lead to weight gain.
Replace beef with salmon
A common mistake is trying to lose fat by cutting fat out of your diet completely. Not only is this ineffective, it's also unhealthy. The trick is to get the right kind of fat. Saturated fats like those found in meat and dairy won't help your weight loss goals, but replacing those fats with some polyunsaturated fats, like those found in salmon, is a better choice.
Salmon won't necessarily help you lose weight, but according to San Francisco Gate, replacing regular meat with fish is a step in the right direction.
Yogurt
One study found that obese adults who ate three servings of nonfat yogurt per day (as well as following a low-calorie diet) lost significantly more body fat and weight than those who followed a low-calorie diet but did not eat yogurt. According to WebMD, those who ate yogurt lost 22% more weight and 61% more body fat than the rest of the study group.

Red bell pepper
Did you know that one cup of bell peppers will give you three times the recommended daily amount of vitamin C? The great news is that the vitamin C in citrus fruits is very helpful in fighting belly fat. So eat this delicious and nutritious food regularly.
Broccoli
Similar to bell peppers, broccoli is high in vitamin C. Pair it with some hummus and you have a power-packed meal.
