The trend-setting hollow hides some danger

It must be said that from a distance it could almost look like a scar or an unwanted gift from multiple consecutive pregnancies or a caesarean section. In fact, often in these cases the heavily exercised abdominals are distanced and a hollow is created, which can also result in a relaxation of the internal organs. This is why doctors consider this "void" at the level of a pathology and it is often eliminated with surgery.Yes, it is true that every woman wants a toned, slender and well-defined body and a flat and firm stomach, but this Belly slot perhaps takes something away from the softness and sinuosity of the female body. However, this groove in the abdominal area has become, thanks to the performances in costumes or underwear by some stars or models, rhythmically posted on social networks or published in magazines, a real must that is trendy, an indispensable attribute for many women. Until recently, the tight gap was especially fashionable, or the groove between the legs, obtained after hours and hours of intense training, especially on the inner thigh. After the thigh gap, it was time for the bikini bridge, the arch formed by the hip bones on the bottom piece of the costume. Many fashion victims today are more and more enchanted by posting photos in bikinis depicting their own Belly slot, a trend launched by Ratajkovski in 2015, while on vacation in Capri, and which had a great success among her fans. In fact, many beautiful and well-known women of fashion or entertainment, for example Anna Tatangelo, former partner of Gigi D'Alessio, Chiara Biasi, Belen Rodriguez, Candice Swanepoel, Hilary Biasi, Michelle Hunziker, Chiara Ferragni and Alessandra Ambrosio still put in show with great satisfaction this symbol of charm and seduction of which they are proud. Obviously it is their genetic gift preserved by the constancy of intense workouts in the gym and above all thanks to a very healthy dietary lifestyle.

And then the mystery why sometimes the groove is seen and sometimes not in the photos of the stars is easily solved: much, if not all, depends on the pose taken before the shot. The same Belly slot in some photos appears markedly visible, while in those in which the same women are relaxed and not posing, the envied vertical line is very little noticeable or almost completely disappears. This happens because in the photos taken immediately after a forced workout, with the muscles more in evidence, or with poses designed to exaggerate the muscles of the whole body (bending to one side, raising both arms or just one behind the head, a po "as the divas of the past did, to lift the breasts and show them young and firm), the abdominals are stretched to the point of spasm.
