Got it — you’re basically asking: where your body tends to store fat, what it means, and how to fix it (plus the benefits), in detail.
Let’s break it down cleanly 👇

Prioritize sleep (7–9 hours; this alone lowers cortisol)
-
Reduce added sugar & refined carbs
-
Eat more protein + fiber (eggs, fish, legumes, veggies)

Do strength training + walking (best combo for belly fat)

Add stress management (breathing, meditation, even daily walks)

Big Truth Most People Miss ⚠️
👉 You can’t spot-reduce fat, but
