Sadhguru’s tips to lose belly fat and improve overall health

Belly fat isn’t just about looks. Sadhguru warns it could signal deeper problems like hormonal imbalance, infertility, heart disease, and even depression. 

Belly fat is a big red flag

Movement is important

One hour at the gym can't undo eight hours of sitting. Sedentary work life is a hidden cause of belly fat. Moving throughout the day is more important than short bursts of exercise.

Yoga over gym time

Sadhguru believes yoga especially Hatha Yoga is better than lifting weights. It balances hormones and heals from within.

Manage stress

Stress raises cortisol, a hormone that stores fat especially in your belly. Sadhguru says yoga and meditation are powerful tools to calm the mind and detox the body.

He recommends 30 to 40 minutes of walking or active movement daily. It's not optional. Sitting too long harms your health and makes belly fat worse. 

Walking is a necessity

Processed food, sugary snacks, and odd eating times cause bloating and weight gain. Sadhguru suggests sticking to natural, fiber-rich foods that nourish your body and support digestion.

Junk food can lead to gut trouble

Chewing each bite 24 times slows eating, improves digestion, and connects you with your food. Eating with your hands also increases mindfulness at meals.

Chew every bit 24 times

Sadhguru recommends eating only twice a day helps your gut reset, boosts fat burning, and aligns your body with natural rhythms.

Only two meals a day

Healthy habits shouldn’t wait. Sadhguru urges teenagers to start mindful eating and yoga early. Prevention is easier than cure and builds lasting wellness from within.

Start young, stay healthy
