Enjoying food and drink is a natural way of life, but what do you do when weight begins to creep up and attach itself to your body and your once perfect stomach becomes larger? Average height men are advised to stick to an average of 2,500 calories per day and these calories include all drinks.

Metabolism begins to decrease in men around the average age of 40 if they have had a healthy diet. Despite this, any man can naturally and healthily increase his own metabolism with diet and exercise. Eating fresh fish, healthy-cooked chicken and beans or lentils can aid with the metabolism increasing naturally.
Exercise
-
Pull ups, press ups, light weights and swimming are just a few exercises which can help you to gain the perfect manly stomach you desire. If your not used to exercising, it is always best to begin exercising with stretching before moving on to cardio-type warm ups such as jogging on the spot for a few minutes. When you perform your pull up exercise movements, better physical results can be acheived if you hold each pull up for a few seconds and ensure your breathing correctly.

Diet

A healthy diet does not mean you can't have the occasional treat, but it must benefit your health and fitness levels to the best possible healthy outcome for you. If you love your meats, grill them and try to eat red meat no more than twice a week. Telling yourself you had fish even though it was fried actually can defeat the purpose. Fish can be grilled, steamed and oven-baked with healthy herbs and spices as well as with some fruit to give the taste that will satisfy your pallet. Change your cooking oil and butter to soya, organic or olive oil. This will not only help you to lose excess tummy fat but will benefit your cholesterol levels, blood pressure and overall heart and other organs. Vegetables and fruit must be eaten every day to help provide the vitamin intake your body requires to work efficiently.
