Belly fat? The most important reason is that you have too much visceral fat

In life, we can often see many people with big bellies. Big belly was previously called “General’s Belly”, which was considered a symbol of wealth. With the popularization of scientific common sense, people no longer think that having a big belly is a kind of qi, but a kind of sickness, which is a manifestation of unhealthy. So, why are obese people prone to have a big belly? In fact, one of the most important reasons is that these people have too much fat accumulation in their internal organs. The internal organs of the human body are mainly concentrated in the abdominal cavity. If the internal organs accumulate too much fat and increase in volume, the entire belly will protrude outward, forming a big belly. Excessive belly fat is extremely detrimental to health, so people with big belly should lose weight.

Why is fat easy to accumulate in the abdomen?

The main reason is that we usually consume too much high-fat, high-calorie food, and the remaining calories will be converted into fat in the body. Since the activities of the limbs are the most frequent, the fat will be stored in the parts with the least amount of daily activities, which are the internal organs and the abdomen.

How do you know if your visceral fat is too high? There is an easy way to self-test.

The self-test method is very simple: measure waist circumference. This is a more scientific and very easy to operate method. If the waist circumference of men is greater than 89 cm and the waist circumference of women is greater than 85 cm, it means that the visceral fat is excessive.

One of the most important signs of success in weight loss is to see whether the lower abdomen is back flat. A flat lower abdomen requires the reduction of visceral fat.

Anyone who loses weight knows that belly fat is quite stubborn and it is difficult to reduce it. Exercise is the best way to eliminate abdominal fat. Choose exercises that burn body fat to reduce visceral fat.

The exercise intensity is not enough, the effect is difficult to guarantee. If the exercise intensity is too high, it is easy to damage the joints. Swimming can effectively avoid this problem. Swimming is not only very effective for weight loss, but also has minimal damage to joints. It is the best choice especially for people who are overweight. When swimming, you can use the more common methods, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle. The speed does not need to be very fast, it is prone to fatigue, and it is difficult to persist for a long time. Every time you swim, you should stick to about 1 hour for the best results.

For those who are not very heavy, walking briskly on the way to and from get off work is also a good way. Brisk walking for 25 minutes a day can increase the level of visceral fat consumption, which consumes 47% more visceral fat than walking slowly. Walking to and from get off work can not only exercise your body, but also save money and support environmental protection.

Targeted exercises on the abdomen are also effective. The best way to exercise your abdomen is sit-ups. We learned this movement in physical education class in elementary school, and everyone knows it. Its function is to exercise the abdominal muscles, which can effectively help us reduce abdominal fat. Persist in 50 sit-ups a day, and after a month, your abdomen will decrease significantly.

After doing sit-ups, you can lie flat on the bed and do a warm compress on the abdomen. Put a hot towel on the abdomen. After 5 minutes, you can massage the abdomen. Massage the belly button clockwise for 5 minutes, then counterclockwise for another 5 minutes. Not only can relax the muscles, but also help lose belly fat.

Diet control is a topic that cannot be bypassed for weight loss. Note that I said diet control rather than dieting. Diet control includes not only reducing food intake, but also scientific diet.

To reduce the belly, the daily diet needs to be adjusted, the proportion of food should be improved, the sweets containing various refined sugars should be refused, and the fat intake should be reduced. In the choice of protein, you can eat more fish, poultry, eggs and other foods that contain high-quality protein, and you must have enough vegetables.

Many people know the importance of water to human health, but many people do not understand the effect of water on abdominal weight loss. Water can speed up the body’s metabolism, can play a laxative effect, accelerate gastrointestinal motility, reduce the accumulation of fat in the abdomen, and help expel toxins in the body.

Because boiled water has a weak taste, many people don’t like to drink it. However, boiled water is the substance most needed by the human body. Do not drink beverages, milk tea and other beverages. These beverages contain a lot of sugar and various additives and are very high in calories. Not only can it not help lose weight, but long-term drinking can cause obesity.

Studies have found that people who stay up late are more likely to gain weight. Therefore, refuse to stay up late and ensure adequate sleep time. High-quality sleep helps fat consumption and will make you full of energy. For an adult, 7-8 hours of sleep must be guaranteed every day.
