Loose skin under the chin is an accumulation of adipose tissue under the chin, which causes a very annoying aesthetic problem for the person suffering from it. Like any other area where fat tends to accumulate in the body, loose skin under the chin can affect both men and women, especially in adults. In this article we will show you how to strengthen your neck and reduce the double chin!

Why does a double chin occur?  The local area of ​​fat is usually due to obesity or overweight, bad habits with a sedentary lifestyle, smoking and poor diet, genetics, or hormonal changes related to aging.

When a person reaches the age of 28-30, their hormone levels are relatively lower than in previous years.  After the age of 30 and over time, hormonal factors associated with fat begin to change.  This annoying problem tends to be exacerbated in both men and women.

This is the time when many people begin to suffer from problems associated with local areas of celebration, not only under the chin, but in other areas of the body – such as the abdominal cavity, thighs, back or  buttocks.

How can you prevent and reduce the double chin?

Like any other area with local accumulation of celebration, the double chin is a difficult area to get to life. It will require special efforts to eliminate the excess fat. For many people who are overweight or obese, they manage to lose many pounds through diet and exercise. But maybe they forget to work the area around the chin, and as a result, this area does not reflect the same level of exercise as the rest of the body.  What can you do to prevent the appearance of double chin?

Fight fluid retention

The excessive consumption of alcohol, sugar and salt is associated with the annoying occurrence of double chin. These elements not only increase the amount of adipose tissue in the body, they also induce fluid retention which makes parts of the body including the face more swollen. It is important to avoid excessive intake and increase your water intake, in order to stay hydrated. Ironically, a body that is more dehydrated is more likely to retain fluids and other harmful substances.

Fight allergy allergies

People who have intolerance or allergy to certain foods like gluten hypersensitivity or irritable bowel syndrome are more likely to form double chin in the future. If your stomach is inflamed or your abdominal cavity is flaccid, it is a sign that something is wrong with your digestive system, which could possibly affect the formation of a double chin. 

According to the International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, the cause of inflammation is not clear, but gases that accumulate in the gut appear to be associated with this intolerance.

Exercises to reduce the double chin

In addition to taking the above recommendations into consideration, following an exercise that helps strengthen and remove fat around the neck area and under the chin is an effective way to reduce double chin. These exercises are an ideal alternative to an extreme method such as surgery, and can also help prevent the double chin from returning.

• To begin with,  bend your head to one side and hold that position  while touching the palate with the tip of your tongue and repeating it 10 to 15 times. Then lean your head to the other side and repeat the exercise.
• Lie on your back, relax the muscles of your face and then try  to bend your head until your chin almost touches your chest. Do this 10 times and gradually build up repetitions up to 50 times.
• For the final exercise of this simple routine, you need to sit on a chair and push yourself back against the backrest. Then you will tilt your head back to look at the ceiling. Hold this position,  try to stretch your head forward while imagining kissing the ceiling. Do this several times, then relax.
