Dr. Zeng Yuyu said that abdominal obesity is a very disturbing thing. There are many reasons for abdominal obesity, including sedentary, irregular work and rest, endocrine disorders, eating too much, or eating foods with high glycemic index, which leads to high blood sugar in the body and makes insulin start to synthesize fat. Therefore, in addition to the energy consumed by the body, excess fat will also accumulate and the waist circumference will gradually become larger.
There are also the following reasons, which are particularly easy to cause the accumulation of abdominal fat:
1. Stress may make the body desperately produce fat.
Stress releases a stress hormone (also known as cortisone) in the body, which promotes the body to synthesize excess blood sugar into fat, and dulls the brain's sensitivity to "satiety", making people unconsciously eat more than usual. The stress of modern people is mostly long-term work without physical exertion, and there is no way to consume calories, so we have to hoard it. In recent years, it has also been found that stress can induce the brain nerve to secrete a neuropeptide Y (NPY) substance, which makes people particularly want to eat foods with high sugar and carbohydrate, and fat is easily stored in the abdomen.
If you are over 2.30 years old, you will get fat if you don't eat much.
In fact, after the age of 30, the growth hormone in the body will begin to decrease, the muscles will be lost, and the metabolic ability will become worse. So as long as you eat more for a few days in a row, it will soon be reflected in your weight. After 40 years old, the situation is more obvious. Every 65,438+00 years old, his daily calorie consumption is 50 ~ 65,438+000 calories.
Smoking and drinking are easy to cause a big belly.
Most of the "beer bellies" of middle-aged men belong to this category. I usually like fried, grilled and salty food. In addition, according to Chinese medicine, wine belongs to "damp heat", which will hinder the circulation of meridians and blood and reduce my metabolic ability. Therefore, high body fat will increase the proportion of abdominal fat, and the whole stomach will become round.
The main component of alcohol is sugar. As long as it is not ingested, it will be converted into fat, and it will accumulate in the liver to form fatty liver. The calorie of 350cc beer is about 150 calories. At first glance, the calories are not high, but because drinking occasions usually don't just drink one can, but two or three cans, which is equivalent to eating a big bowl of rice. Don't think that spirits are not high in calories. Just shout "cheers" three times (a cup is about 45cc), and the heat is the same.
Studies have found that smokers, both men and women, are more likely to be overweight and obese.
4. Drink high fructose drinks and eat sweets, just as fat accumulates directly in the body.
According to research, the "high fructose syrup" commonly found in hand-cranked beverage shops or biscuits and sweets is particularly prone to abdominal fat accumulation. Compared with complex sugars such as sucrose and brown sugar, it requires slow decomposition of body enzymes, and fructose syrup is directly used to accumulate fat. Eating "high glycemic index food" will make blood sugar rise rapidly, promote the secretion of insulin and increase the formation of fat.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sweetness is easy to produce phlegm", and this "phlegm" includes some wastes produced by metabolic and circulatory disorders, including inflammatory substances such as fat and cholesterol.
Eating too much ice will increase the fat in abdominal cavity to protect internal organs.
"Ice" includes cold ice products and cold food. Among them, cold food will damage the yang of the five internal organs, affect the operation of the spleen and stomach, hinder the metabolic cycle of the whole body, make people look bloated and obese, and more will be fat in the lower abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Eating cold food can also make the abdomen bulge, especially for young women. Chinese medicine believes that there are important organs such as uterus and ovary in abdominal cavity, which are in charge of fertility. After eating cold food, the body will increase the accumulation of fat to help keep warm in order not to let these organs suffer.
6. menopause report, hormones change the position of fat.
According to the survey, half of the women aged 50-59 in Taiwan Province Province have waistlines greater than 80cm. Middle-aged women often wonder: "Why does the stomach get a lot bigger when the weight has not increased?" ? In fact, this has a lot to do with hormonal changes.
When you are young, fat easily grows on your hips and thighs. However, after menopause, the secretion of estrogen in the body is less, and the proportion of androgen is more, which leads to the change of fat distribution position, and it is easy to gain weight on the stomach like men, and gradually changes from "western pear" to "apple-shaped".
7. Lack of sleep will make your stomach fat.
We all seem to have a specious idea: sleep less and avoid getting fat. It seems that sleeping is one of the killers of getting fat. In fact, on the contrary, adequate sleep is the key to slimming down!
Reason 1: The most important time for our body to metabolize too much fat is when we sleep, especially during deep sleep, and even during deep sleep, almost 100% of our energy comes from body fat, so good quality sleep is an important step to lose weight.
Reason 2: When we sleep, we secrete leptin. As the name implies, leptin is an endocrine substance that improves the efficiency of body fat metabolism and makes the body slim. If we lack leptin, the body will reduce the metabolic rate of oil. With the thin voxel secreted during sleep, the body can naturally "be thin when lying down"! Therefore, good quality and adequate sleep are important factors to avoid obesity.
To get rid of abdominal obesity, Dr. Zeng Yuyu suggested pressing the following two acupoints:
? Zusanli:
Location: There is a depression on the outside of the knee, three inches below it (about four fingers wide).
Efficacy: It has the functions of regulating immunity, enhancing disease resistance, regulating spleen and stomach, tonifying middle energizer, dredging meridians, expelling wind and removing dampness, strengthening body resistance, tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, and is helpful for puffiness caused by spleen and stomach weakness.
? Yinlingquan:
Location: the inner side of the calf, the depression of the inner side of the tibia below the knee, opposite Yanglingquan.
Efficacy: tonify qi and blood, strengthen spleen and eliminate dampness. Because when eating a variety of flavors of food, these foods contain a lot of salt, which is easy to keep water in the body and cause edematous obesity. You can use * * * Yinling Spring to eliminate edema.
The above-mentioned acupoints * * * Method: Hold your hand into a fist, focusing on the back of the first bent knuckle of your index finger, and press moderately on the acupoints until you feel slight pain, 3 ~ 5 times a day.
According to research, the "high fructose syrup" commonly found in hand-cranked beverage shops or biscuits and sweets is particularly prone to abdominal fat accumulation. Adequate sleep is the key to slimming down! Stress causes the body to release a stress hormone (also known as cortisone), which promotes the body to synthesize excess blood sugar into fat.
