As the saying goes: every middle-aged person will be blessed.
When people reach middle age, they see that their arms are thick, their legs are long, and the most important thing is that their lower abdomen is also bald, especially male friends, and their stomachs can even be as large as if they were pregnant in October.
Beer belly, really drunk beer?
You know, obesity is the most important reason for men's large stomachs, fat is constantly accumulated in the abdomen, and the big belly is as strong as a wine barrel, so it is always called "beer belly".
But beer is not the main cause of abdominal fat accumulation.
Beer itself is not a high calorie food, in general, 100ml of beer calories are only 30-40 calories, while the same quality of the two pot head calories can reach 338 calories, think not more than 10 times the beer.
Of course, it does not mean that people have low calories.
Compared with Coke, the calories of a can of beer (330ml) can reach about 130 calories, which is 20 calories less than a can of Coke of the same size.
Although the calories of beer are not too high, drinking alcohol will stimulate people's appetite, which is why when drinking skewers, you will find that the higher you drink, the more you skewer.
Why are men prone to beer belly?
First, overeating is unscientific
Long-term drinking will make these calories accumulate in the body, and most of these men with beer belly like to sit for a long time, resulting in long-term accumulation of heat in the abdomen, forming a beer belly. this
Overeating leads to more and more fat accumulation. They are mainly manifested as abdominal obesity, which is extremely difficult to lose weight.
Second, less exercise
Abdominal obesity is similar to other obesity, mainly by the imbalance of the body's income and expenditure, the daily absorption of too much energy, and the consumption of less energy, if you can do proper exercise after drinking, it is difficult to produce a beer belly.
However, obese men with abdominal type rarely exercise, resulting in an aggravated beer belly.
Belly fat, which is much more harmful than ordinary fat
1. Seriously affect the appearance
Once a man has abdominal obesity, it means that he has become a typical middle-aged male figure, the body will become clumsy, the whole face will become older, and the appearance will decline.
Beer belly will make a significant change in the appearance of the body, compared with the well-proportioned body shape, the movement is unstable, there is a clear sense of bulkiness.
2. Cause fatty liver
Abdominal obesity is more likely to have diseases than well-proportioned robust obesity, especially long-term accumulation of abdominal fat, which may lead to weakened organ function, the main effect of fat accumulation is to cause fatty liver, if not intervened, it may also form cirrhosis, increasing the probability of liver cancer.
3. It is easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Excessive body fat is easy to cause diabetes and a series of chronic diseases such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension, which are the main causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Many patients with abdominal obesity originally had normal blood pressure, but after 4-5 years of abdominal obesity, blood pressure began to rise slowly, resulting in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Do sit-ups usually, can I lose weight?
In fact, the so-called lean belly is a local fat loss, many people think that as long as you do sit-ups, abdominal strength training, you can achieve the role of burning belly fat.
But in fact, local fat loss is not reliable, such as sit-ups, such as sit-ups, the main exercise is abs strength, belongs to strength training, its energy consumption is mainly provided by sugar, not fat.
Muscle movement requires energy, including fat, but this fat is mainly derived from the blood.
Therefore, it is essentially a fantasy to want to achieve the purpose of "turning fat into muscle" by exercising local areas.
If you really want to reduce your stomach, it is not much use to do a few sit-ups every day and raise your legs a hundred times a day, but it is better to combine aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise to train together, and the effect will be better.
For example, it can be aimed at abdominal strength training, such as curls, plate support, etc., through anaerobic training to increase abdominal strength, while consuming a lot of sugar in the body.
Secondly, in the performance of aerobic exercise, such as running, swimming, cycling, etc., because strength training has consumed a lot of sugar, so at this time in acute aerobic exercise is mainly to consume fat.
By practicing both inside and out, your stomach can slim down.
Of course, don't forget to control your diet, otherwise you will work hard for an hour or two, and as a result, you will eat fried chicken and hamburgers, and then a glass of beer, and the calories consumed will be replenished.
