So you just noticed some horizontal lines on your stomach and you’re mad uh? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lines on the stomach are usually formed by sand or bowel movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can also be caused by all kinds of things, like eating too much salty food, drinking too much water, and even biting your nails! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s some info on what causes them and how you can get rid of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stomach lines may be unavoidable but they don’t have to remain that way! Ok, let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lines on Stomach – What The Real Causes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stomach lines are caused by a number of different things, usually one of them being your bowel movements<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, they can also be caused by eating too much salty food, drinking too much water, and even biting your nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stomach lines can be formed very fast or very slow depending on what has caused them to form in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read an article where this man ate way too much beef for dinner and he had stomach lines all around his stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lines on his stomach were so bad that he ended up going to the hospital for it. Thankfully, he didn’t have a disease but rather a virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you happen to have a problem with your digestive system then more than likely you’re going to end up with pretty bad stomach lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I want to tell you some of the worst things that will cause these lines on your stomach and the cures for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Excess Salt In Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever bitten into a hot dog that was just too salty? Or what about drinking pop that has just too much sugar in it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of these things can cause stomach lines. And if you do them both at the same time then you’re going to have a bad time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is that they both cause your mouth to water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, when you swallow the salt from the sausage it will mix with the saliva from your mouth and your stomach will be full of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your stomach will push its way out of your stomach and you’ll get these lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cure for salty foods is to avoid eating too much of them. Drink more water<\/a> or pop so that your mouth doesn’t water so much from eating a salty food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen people that literally put so much salt on their pizza that it looks like it’s bleeding out of the side of the pizza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever seen this happen then you know exactly what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Carrying Too Much Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The second thing that causes stomach lines is carrying too much weight. You can have all kinds of health problems if you carry too much weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, heartburn and even cancer are sure to follow if you’re over weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it’s very important to not carry all that extra weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many diet programs<\/a> that you can stick with, like eating healthy foods like vegetables and fruits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also cut back on your sodium intake, and exercise more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re older then don’t even think about it because you’re out of time. You should start to think about getting into shape when you turn 30 or 40 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Constipation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stomach lines are also caused by constipation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very common in adults since they no longer go to the bathroom as much as they did when they were younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may be caused by all the medications they take in order to relieve the pain in their joints or other parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes these medications even cause constipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, most adults that have stomach lines do not have any problems with their bowels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with stomach lines is that they tend to get worse over time, which is what all of the medications for joint pain are designed to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you experience constipation then try eating more fiber<\/a> or drinking more water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Eating Too Much<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eating too much food on a regular basis can cause stomach lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your digestive system has to push more food through your intestines while trying to digest the largest amount at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything that slows down the digestion process is going to allow these lines to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Too Much Water (Excessive Fluid Intake)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Water intake is also a cause of stomach lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you tend to drink more water than usual now then you can probably expect those stomach lines to form over time as the water builds up in your gut and causes a blockage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, it will push the contents of your digestive systems out towards your sides and that’s why you see those lines forming around your stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Too Much Exercise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Too much exercise can also cause stomach lines because you’re pushing different parts of your body in different directions and if it gets out of balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you’ll start to feel uncomfortable and that’s when you’ll start to feel the pain in your stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Stomach Creases Normal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is yes they are normal. They are just lines that form on your stomach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they can be caused by something different than what most people think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, I read about this lady that was doing exercises in the gym at work and she was complaining about having lines on her stomach after each workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t until she started to see a doctor that the cause of the stomach lines became known to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was having pains in her back so she went to see a doctor who prescribed some medication for her back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, instead of taking the pain medication, she noticed that it did make her stomach feel better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She did some more research on the internet and it finally clicked for her that yoga was what had caused these lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She eventually realized that all of the yoga postures were straining her back muscles, which is why she started getting stomach pains after doing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Get Rid Of Fat Lines on Stomach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get rid of fat lines on your stomach is by losing weight<\/a>. It’s true that some people can change some of their diet habits and lose weight and still have stomach lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, for the most part, you’re going to want to lose weight in order for this line problem to go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this doesn’t mean that you’ll just sit around and mope while you try to lose weight. You need to find a way that will help you lose weight while minimizing any pain that may occur from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because remember you’re going to need your stomach muscles in order for them not to hurt anymore after doing these exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that there are exercises that will go a long way towards helping you lose weight and relieve any pain caused by losing weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These exercises are also great at strengthening your stomach muscles, which will help prevent any pain in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you’re one of these people then here are some ideas that may work for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Strengthen Your Stomach Muscles With These Exercises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to remember the two main muscles in your stomach; the intrinsic and the external oblique muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal oblique muscle is what controls how much air moves up into your lungs to be taken into your mouth for breathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, this muscle is normally covered by the external oblique muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if your external oblique muscles are very strong then it’s going to be harder for you to move that air into your lungs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it’s important that you do some exercises that will strengthen this part of your stomach. Something like doing these exercises about once per week should be just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that strengthening the internal oblique muscle will not cause those stomach lines to go away since those weight loss exercises are just going to damage those internal muscles as well as the other ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you need to do both of these exercises in order to get rid of those stomach lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Try These Sit Up Exercises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sit-ups and abdominal exercises are also effective for strengthening your stomach and reducing those stomach lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem with sit-ups is that they’re very hard on the spine and the neck muscles. So, it’s not very wise to do them too often because you’ll start hurting yourself as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can hurt yourself even more by doing sit-ups with weights as well as doing crunches as these two exercises are even stronger than sit-ups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this is that they put more pressure on different parts of your neck muscles and spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you can do these exercises by using a stability ball<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stability balls are great because they help your body balance itself out and they won’t roll around like normal balls would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t use a normal ball for this exercise because it’s too round and it will tend to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
