Foods that fight belly fat

How do you get rid of belly fat? Exercise is obviously a must, but what you eat also plays a very important role.

Where your body stores fat is genetic, nor can you decide for yourself where your body should burn fat, but new studies show that there are certain foods that cause you to store belly fat and certain foods that help you lose fat in that part. Remember belly fat is not only the usual fat under your skin, it is also the fat around your organs and it is considered a health risk of having a large stomach.
