The figure is not fat, but the abdomen is particularly fat and bulging. What's going on here?
Our bodies are very clever. Generally speaking, the accumulation of fat starts from our center of gravity, and then extends outward in circles, starting from the waist, abdomen and buttocks, then the thighs and upper body, and finally the arms and calves. With the increase of age, the secretion of estrogen will also decrease, the level of estrogen will drop, and the body will lose the role of estrogen. Fat distribution began to get fatter towards the center, and apple obesity was formed over time. The main reason of recessive obesity is bad living habits. For example, fried food, high-fat meat, high-sugar and high-calorie food, and insufficient vegetable intake lead to sustained long-term accumulation of nutrients and visceral fat.

Practice abdominal breathing before going to bed or waking up in the morning. That is, hold the ribs with both hands and inhale deeply, and the stomach bulges when inhaling. Then exhale deeply, and the abdomen will deflate to the maximum extent when exhaling. Because the density of fat and muscle is different, the same weight, muscle looks much smaller than fat, so the only way to improve this small base figure problem is diet management+shaping exercise.

Of course, we can't attribute this obesity to insulin, which is just trying to cope with the fluctuation and peak of blood sugar in its own way. The root of the problem is the intake of a large number of high-sugar and high-energy foods and drinks. Some exercises, such as high-intensity intermittent exercise, will release growth hormone and testosterone, which can effectively reduce the fat accumulated in the abdomen and make the body slim.

Adipose tissue is mainly concentrated below the abdomen and in the abdominal cavity. According to the classification standard of China Adult Overweight and Obesity Prevention Guide, the waist circumference of men is more than 85 cm, that of women is more than 80 cm, that of men is more than 0.9, and that of women is more than 0.8. Abdominal obesity is clinically called abdominal obesity. Diagnostic criteria of abdominal obesity, abdominal obesity male waist circumference greater than or equal to 102 cm, female waist circumference greater than or equal to 88 cm. Or the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference is greater than 1.0 for men and 0.9 for women, which is called abdominal obesity.
