Reasons for the formation of belly fat
Belly fat in women is a common problem associated with the consumption of large amounts of simple carbohydrates, sugar, and hormonal changes in the body.
Fat on the abdomen in men often occurs with the abuse of fatty, spicy, spicy foods, alcohol (especially beer, which is rich in female sex hormones), with a sedentary lifestyle.
The most common reasons why belly fat is:
- Improper nutrition … Namely, the use of sugary drinks and food, trans fats, alcohol abuse, insufficient intake of fiber, protein. Excessive carbohydrates, refined foods, sugar, dairy products, gluten lead to a build-up of fat that is difficult to handle. These foods also affect hormones, the normal functioning of which largely determines the body's ability to quickly burn excess fat.
- Overeating, tendency to eat before bed and at night … The situation is aggravated when overeating is combined with low mobility and lack of sports.
- Violation of intestinal microflora … The gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by friendly and pathogenic microbes that help to digest incoming food. For example, fungi actively absorb sugar and promote its utilization. However, if the microflora is disturbed and there are more bad microbes, their colonies grow, friendly microorganisms lose their ability to take part in the digestion of food. This leads to intestinal upset, accumulation of belly fat.
- Slouch … Poor posture leads to a violation of the blood supply to internal organs, a slowdown in metabolism, the formation of fat on the abdomen, sides and other parts of the body.
- Sedentary lifestyle … The problem of modern society, which is equally susceptible to men, women, children, adolescents.
- Hereditary predisposition … The tendency to accumulate adipose tissue largely depends on the genetic structure.
- Slow metabolism … The situation gets worse as a person grows up. This problem is most often affected by women with anemia, hypothyroidism.
- Regular stress … As a result, excess cortisol is produced. This hormone can cause increased hunger, slow down the process of losing weight and eliminate belly fat.
- Lack of sleep and late bedtime (after 00:00) … This factor also leads to an increase in body weight, the formation of body fat. In the period from 22:00 to 2:00, there is an active production of melatonin and growth hormone somatotropin, which are responsible for well-being, youth, and the breakdown of excess fat. If you follow the regime and hygiene of sleep, you can significantly speed up the process of eliminating the fat layer, improve the appearance and overall well-being. With a lack of sleep, the body is in a state of constant stress, due to which the hormone cortisol is produced - the main enemy of harmony.
- Hormonal changes in the body … Adolescence, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause contribute to the formation of belly fat. The accumulation of adipose tissue is associated with a violation of the concentration of estrogen - the main female sex hormone. The situation is aggravated by a combination of several factors at once: hereditary predisposition, a tendency to overeat and eat harmful, low-quality food, and lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Fat deposits are also observed in people who suffer from diabetes mellitus, hypertension, diseases of the thyroid gland and cardiovascular system. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the solution of the problem with fat on the sides in a comprehensive manner, having previously found out the exact reason for its development.
