How can you have a flat stomach by tomorrow?
Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.
Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
What is the main role of the strong acid released in the stomach during digestion?
It is HYDROCHLORIC ACID... See:http://health.howstuffworks.com/question464.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochloric_acid http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_your_stomach_produce_hydrochloric_acid http://www.aim4health.com/stomachpains.htm http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GPEA_enUS297US298&q=stomach+hydrochloric+acid

Best excerise for a flat stomach?
To get a flat stomach the best workout you can do is to actually focus on your whole body i.e. not just your abs. Working the larger muscle groups like in your legs will burn more calories for you which in turn will help you to reduce your body fat percentage. When you start to reduce your body fat percentage then you will start to get a flat stomach and even start to see a six pack.
If you have a bit of a gut at the moment then you're going to have to do a combination of workouts with the correct type of diet. You don't need to go on a fad diet (and I don't recommend them as they tend to have a yo-yo effect i.e. after you lose the weight and return to normal eating habits then you just pile the weight back on).
To get a flat stomach your best option is to eat a healthy balanced diet and combine that with a whole body workout each day. Don't let the whole body workout scare you off, it doesn't have to take very long and you can build on it week by week.
You need to reduce the amount of calories your eating every day. I want to emphasise that it's very important to have a balanced diet and that you eat at the right times of the day. If your diet isn't balanced then your body will store fat unnecessarily if it thinks it's not getting the right types of foods. Also the right combination of carbohydrates and protein(remember a balanced diet) will allow your body to get maximum energy.
Spread your meals out and eat more often. If you eat 3 times a day, try changing that to 5/6 times a day with smaller portions.
So if you reduce your calorie intake, eat sensible more often and with smaller portions and exercise daily then you will start to see a flat stomach soon.
What is the scientific word for stomach?

Why do you have bad gas after eating?
Bacteria living in your large intestine (this is normal, everyone has them and you would die without them) begin breaking down indigestible dietary fiber in the food you just ate. This dietary fiber is composed of very long chain complex carbohydrates (that mammals cannot digest), the bacteria break it down to simple sugars which they use as food (but you also absorb some of these simple sugars released by the bacteria so both of you benefit). But in the process of breaking down this dietary fiber the bacteria also release gasses as waste, a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. And that gives you gas.
Products like Bean-o contain an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase (derived from a fungus) that can digest this dietary fiber partially and acts before the food reaches the large intestine where these bacteria live. This reduces the problem significantly.
Products like Gas-x contain a mild detergent called simethicone that causes the gas bubbles to collapse forming much tinnier bubbles. While this does not eliminate the gas it stops the bloated feeling and pressure pain caused by the large bubbles that sometimes form.

What is the food mass called after it leaves the stomach?
Chyme.
Food begins entering the mouth and is mixed with saliva and this mass is called a bolus. The bolus goes down the esophogus to the stomach where it is mixed with stomach acids and becomes chyme. The chyme goes through gastric emptying into the small intestine where it is then mixed with bile to allow the transport of fat into the blood stream.
Drain cleaner. Glass shards. Thumbtacks. Molten iron. Batteries.
The abovementioned items are indeed, non-food items.
- Aside from these, a person who's been diagnosed with stomach ulcer, should not drink or eat the following food/ drinks:
- carbonated drinks
- caffeine-containing foods/drinks
- alcohol
- highly-seasoned meat/poultry products
- gas-producing food like broccoli, onions, etc.
- acidic fruits like lemon, grapefruit, oranges and pineapples
The idea is to prevent further damage to the lining of the intestinal wall which usually results not from eating foods but from skipping meals and alcohol drinking.
