Introduction
The most common reason for the unpopular double chin is overweight or the advancing age, whereby the connective tissue on the chin becomes weaker, resulting in a hanging skin fold. But also younger, slim people can suffer from a double chin, then hereditary factors are decisive. To make a double chin disappear, it is often not enough to lose weight.
Although a result will show on the scales, it is usually not possible to control by diet where we burn fat. In addition, a hanging skin fold can be emphasized even more unsightly by losing weight too quickly. So there are two options to get rid of the double chin: cosmetic surgery and gymnastic exercises. Since surgery always involves certain risks and is very expensive, the exercises presented below are recommended in any case.
What can I do?
In addition to genetic factors that favour the development of a double chin and which cannot be influenced, there are also avoidable reasons that cause a double chin to develop. The most important factor here is overweight, with excess fatty tissue being deposited especially in the neck and nape of the neck. But also strong weight fluctuations as they occur in crash diets can be the cause for sagging skin under the chin.
Overweight and above all strong weight fluctuations (losing weight too quickly) should therefore be avoided in any case. A healthy lifestyle with sufficient nutrients can help to strengthen the connective tissue so that it appears firmer and less worn out. Furthermore, adequate sun protection should be ensured, as the skin under the chin can be protected from additional wrinkling.
Below are some exercises to prevent or reduce a double chin, which can be a cheap and safe alternative to surgery or “fat-way injection”. A prerequisite is the regular and consistent performance of the exercises. In addition, the exercises are more suitable as prevention and support a still intact connective tissue. Realistically, however, it must be said that the exercises can neither make fat disappear completely nor restore completely overstretched connective tissue to its old form.
