First, the causes of abdominal obesity
1, no meat, no joy.
From the parents' generation, it was difficult to eat meat, and now there are all kinds of delicious foods. With the improvement of economic level, people's diet has also improved, and big fish and meat are presented on the table, and they can eat whatever they want.
2, lazy love to eat out
For example, in hot summer, most people don't want to stay in the hot kitchen. People consume far more processed food than fresh vegetables. Processed food contains additives, which are high in oil, salt and sugar, which is also one of the reasons for obesity.
3. Lack of fitness awareness
People who can really stick to fitness for a long time are really scarce and generally lack fitness awareness, which leads to an increase in obese people.
4, keen on western fast food
When going out to eat, I often see a long queue in front of the checkout counter of western-style fast food restaurants such as McDonald's. The prevalence of western fast food in China is also an important reason why the waistline of China people is getting thicker and thicker.
Second, the harm of abdominal obesity
1, easy to cause fatty liver.
The abdomen is the concentration of important organs such as liver, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. When there is too much abdominal fat, a large amount of visceral fat will enter the digestive system, damage the liver and gradually evolve into fatty liver.
2, easy to lead to diabetes.
Abdominal obesity has a direct impact on human metabolism, which will affect the consumption and absorption of sugar and cause diabetes.
3. Increase the risk of cancer
Giovannucci, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, surveyed healthy men between the ages of 40 and 75. It was found that waist circumference was related to the incidence of colorectal cancer, and the risk of colorectal cancer increased by 2.56 times in patients with waist circumference ratio ≥ 109cm < 89cm. In other words, people with obese waist and abdomen are more likely to suffer from colorectal cancer. In addition, abdominal obesity will increase the risk of uterine cancer and liver cancer.
4, prone to heart disease
According to a report published in the British Medical Journal, too much abdominal fat has a certain impact on heart function, which hinders the normal blood supply in the body and increases the possibility of heart disease.
Third, the method of abdominal weight loss
1, exercise slimming method
Specific methods:
(1) Lie on your back, keep your upper body still, cross your feet, and exert pressure on your abdomen.
(2) Raise your feet at right angles to your upper body, then put them down and do it repeatedly.

(4) Lift your feet up, just like pedaling a bicycle, and turn your left and right feet back and forth. Do it twice a day for about 10 minutes each time.
2. Diet and thin abdomen method
Scientific diet is the key to prevent obesity, and overeating is forbidden to lose weight. In addition to eating more animal protein than usual, the intake of vegetables and fruits is also indispensable. Recommended amount of food per day: the staple food includes 450 grams of rice, flour and miscellaneous grains; 200 grams of animal food; Egg150g; 20 ml of edible oil; 250 ml of milk or soybean milk; 450g of vegetables and 0/00g of fruit/kloc; Others, such as sugar and sesame seeds, are about 20 grams each. In addition, try not to eat spicy, cold, fried and other irritating foods, which is very helpful for thin abdomen.
