Causes of the appearance of body fat

 

The problem of fat deposits on the abdomen and sides is more relevant for women than for men. Representatives of the strong half of humanity rarely have a sagging belly or sides protruding from their pants. Men who do not observe their diet at all, consume fast food, drink soda, enjoy beer, and live a sedentary lifestyle are the exceptions.

So, in women, deposits appear even without addiction to beer and hamburgers. And this feature is connected with the childbearing function. Nature made sure that the expectant mother had a small supply of fat necessary to bear a child during a famine. Moreover, the layer of fatty layer serves as protection for the unborn baby.

But while maintaining your body in good shape, the stomach remains flat even in older women. However, the situation is changed by various factors that affect the appearance of excess weight and body fat:

• Improper nutrition:

 To begin with, sugar and wheat products stimulate the formation of fat tissue. Even if you've given up these goods, as well as fast food, your body will begin to store fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in improper proportions. As a result, you can't fully avoid carbohydrates.

• Stress:

 Nervous strain provokes the production of cortisol, the stress hormone. And he gives the installation to the body to store fat in reserve. And if you often experience stress, while eating right, avoiding the appearance of the sides and abdomen will be problematic.

•Sedentary lifestyle:

 Decreased activity almost guarantees weight gain. This is due to a decrease in metabolism and poor digestion. If you have a sedentary job, allocate 2-3 days a week to visit the gym. 1-2 hours of intense training is enough to keep the body in good shape and reduce the risk of obesity.

• Hormonal imbalance:

 Many body systems are affected by diseases of the endocrine system. And the growth of adipose tissue on the abdomen and sides is one of the consequences of thyroid disease and hormonal imbalance. At the same time, it is very difficult to lose weight even with a strict diet and intense exercise.

•Age:

 The older the person, the worse the metabolism. For this reason, it is much easier to gain weight after 30 years than in 20 years.

 

One of the frequent problems is a large volume of the abdomen and sides with normal weight. In this case, the main focus is on physical activity in order to speed up the process of losing weight.

To lose weight in the abdomen and sides, you first need to eliminate the cause of weight gain. If you have problems in endocrinology, then be sure to undergo treatment. With the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, eliminate other factors that provoke weight gain:

• Eat often, but in small portions. A rigid diet and hunger strikes will do more harm than good.

• Give up sweets, soda and flour products.

• Increase physical activity. If you don’t have time to go to the gym, do aerobics, yoga or take a walk in the evenings at home.

• Even regular stair climbing will do.

• Observe the drinking regime, drinking at least 1.5 liters of clean water per day. In summer, the body needs more - at least 2 liters per day.

• Give up salt or reduce its intake. It is unusual and tasteless only for the first 5-7 days, then you get used to the new taste of food and it will seem more pleasant to you.

• Keep track of calories. Buy a kitchen scale, weigh each food you eat and write it down in a food journal. This will help to calculate the number of calories incoming and adjust them so as not to reach the norm a little.
