The Truth About Crunches: Effective Weight Loss Strategies Revealed

Crunches and other exercises targeting specific areas of fat are ineffective for spot reduction, according to obesity researcher Dr. Nick Fuller. Fat loss occurs throughout the body, determined by genetics, gender, and age. Weight-loss supplements also lack scientific support. Instead, Fuller recommends a lifestyle overhaul including sleep, diet, and consistent physical activity to achieve overall fat loss. Regular exercise, even in small amounts, can have positive effects on internal organs and counteract the negative health consequences of prolonged sitting.
