How to reduce Double Chin
A double
chin is one of the most common physical signs of aging. It can
also be a result of several other factors, including genetics and an unhealthy
diet that is high in fat and calories. A double chin occurs as a result of
loose skin and extra fat deposits.
Chin
Exercises
There are several chin exercises that
you can do if you wish to get rid of your double chin. For the first exercise,
begin by opening your mouth wide. Next, move your lower jaw in a downward and
outward direction as though you are trying to “scoop” something with your lower
jaw. You will know that you are doing this exercise right when you feel your
lower teeth touch the top of your upper lip. Repeat the exercise as much as 15
times and do it several times throughout the day.
The Chin Lift
The chin lift stretches and tones the muscles of the jaw,
neck and throat. To perform the chin lift, follow these simple steps:
- Stand or sit with your spine erect.
- Tilt your head back until you are looking toward the
ceiling
- Pucker your lips tightly, as if you wanted to kiss the
ceiling.
·
Try not to engage any other facial muscles while
doing this exercise; just use your lips. Hold your lips in a puckered position
for a five-count, then release. Repeat the exercise 5 to 10 times in a row.
Tongue on Teeth
- While keeping a straight back, open your mouth as wide
as possible.
- Place the tip of your tongue against the backside of
your bottom row of teeth.
- Inhale through your mouth, and exhale while making an
“ahh” sound.
- Continue this for one minute
- Relax the mouth and tongue.
- Repeat this once more.
The Neck Roll
The neck roll not only tones and stretches the muscles of
your jaw, throat and neck, but also releases tension from your shoulders and
can ease neck and shoulder pain.
- Stand or sit with an erect spine.
- While inhaling, gently turn your head to one side until
your chin touches your shoulder. You should be looking to one side.
Low Caloric Intake
If you wish to get rid of your double
chin, you’re going to have to make certain changes in your diet as well. If you
regularly eat junk foods, fast food and other foods that are packed with fat
and calories, then you are going to have to eliminate these from your diet – or
at the very least, cut back. Research suggests that consuming more calories
than your body requires speeds up the aging process. It is also believed that
cutting back on your caloric intake not only helps you get rid of your double
chin, but also helps you lose fat in other areas of your face.
CHIN PRESSING
Standing or sitting
with your back upright, rotate your head slowly with your chin leading the way.
Drive your chin to turn from one shoulder to another via the chest. Complete a
set of 10 in each direction.
GREEN
TEA
Green tea
contains potent antioxidants and various components that speed up your
metabolism rate. This will help you burn extra calories and lose weight.
Start
your day with a cup of green tea and drink several cups throughout the day.
Green tea is available in different flavors, so you can choose one that suits
your taste.
JAW STOPPER
Move your jaws up and down like you are
chewing and keeping your lips together. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. Open
your mouth as wide as possible with the tip of your tongue pressed against your
lower teeth. Holding this position, inhale then exhale with a `sigh' sound .
The entire move should take 90 seconds.
