There are many obese people, and the types of obesity vary among different groups. There is a type of abdominal obesity patient, also known as central obesity. The characteristics of these people are relatively large waist circumference and more obvious fatness than in the limbs.
For such people, there is a high probability that visceral fat is excessive. This means that your internal organs are covered by a thick layer of fat. As the five internal organs and six bowels are mainly located near the waist and abdomen, the waist circumference will become extremely prominent.
People with excessive visceral fat mean that the risk of cardiovascular diseases is greatly increased. They are prone to problems such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart disease, and excessive cholesterol. It may even induce carcinogenic factors and sleep apnea syndrome.
The main culprit for abdominal obesity is the lack of self-discipline in diet. People who usually love to eat these kinds of foods are more likely to have a protruding abdomen.
1. Loving sweet foods
People who love sweet foods mean that blood sugar will rise, and excess sugar will be converted into fat and accumulate. Commonly seen foods such as cookies, doughnuts, egg tarts, candies, cakes, milk tea, and cola are all very high in sugar content.
A 20-year follow-up investigation found that people who consume more than 50 grams of sugar (such as fructose, glucose, sucrose, etc.) in a day have a higher growth rate of visceral fat than those who consume less than 50 grams of sugar.
Therefore, to reduce visceral fat, the key is to give up visible sweet foods and eat more high-fiber vegetables to supplement dietary fiber. Only in this way can we control the rate of blood sugar rise, inhibit fat accumulation, and slowly reduce the belly.
2. Loving high-fat foods
Some meats with high fat content, such as streaky pork and fat beef, are rich in various saturated fatty acids. Home-cooked dishes like barbecued pork and streaky pork, as well as various fried foods such as deep-fried dough sticks, fried chicken, and pancakes, will make you consume excessive unsaturated fatty acids, leading to the accumulation of visceral fat.
To reduce visceral fat and shrink the belly, we should eat less foods with high fat content and fried foods. Choose lean meat, chicken breast and other foods. The food should be cooked in a low-oil and low-salt way to effectively reduce calorie intake and help with weight loss.
3. Loving alcohol
There is an inevitable connection between drinking alcohol and obesity, and people who love drinking alcohol have a higher rate of abdominal obesity. After alcohol is consumed, the liver is busy decomposing alcohol and cannot decompose fat. Belly fat will take the opportunity to accumulate. And drinking alcohol is usually accompanied by various side dishes. After a drink, the calorie intake is often excessive.
To reduce visceral fat, it is better to try to quit drinking or reduce the amount and frequency of drinking. Drink more tea and warm water and maintain a healthy diet. The waist circumference will naturally decrease slowly.
4. Often eating various processed meat products
Relevant research data shows that people who often eat processed meat products have a significantly higher probability of abdominal obesity than those who eat less.
Various sausages, hams, bacons, etc. In order to extend the shelf life and improve the taste, these foods often add a large amount of salt and preservatives, which are easy to cause edema and make the abdomen look more bloated. The high fat content in processed meats also easily causes the accumulation of abdominal fat.
