However, there are always a group of people who have many problems in physical examination, and they also have some similar characteristics-
For example, these two: round belly and round head.
Belly rolling "round"-central obesity!
When people reach middle age, it is inevitable that they will get fat and their stomachs will become "round", which is what we often call "beer belly".
Beer belly is mainly caused by excessive visceral fat, which is the same as other fattening principles, such as eating more and exercising less.
The fat of male compatriots is easy to accumulate in the waist and abdomen, and the fat of female compatriots is easy to accumulate under the skin. But that doesn't mean women won't have beer bellies.
Under normal circumstances, people who gain weight are all fat together, and they won't say where they are fat. However, with the increase of age, male compatriots over 30 years old, or postmenopausal female compatriots, are prone to beer belly. After menopause, women are more likely to accumulate fat in the abdomen, which is mainly related to the decrease of estrogen.
Waist circumference:
If men exceed 90 cm and women exceed 80 cm, it can be called central obesity.
Waist-hip ratio = waist circumference/hip circumference
Male waist-hip ratio is 0.85~0.95. More than 0.95 is abnormal.
The female standard is 0.67~0.8. More than 0.85 is abnormal.
But the biggest problem is the disease caused by beer belly. Your beer belly determines your health.
People who have a "beer belly" are probably also central obesity!
According to a study published at the general meeting of the American Society for Cardiology Prevention on October 20th-8th, compared with people without central obesity (regardless of whether the body mass index is normal or not), people with central obesity with normal body mass index have an increased cardiovascular risk.
At the same time, obese people are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other chronic diseases.
Fat head "round"-thick neck!
"Big head and thick neck, not rich, but a cook", although this is a cliche, but it tells a truth-the thicker the neck, the greater the chance of cardiovascular disease!
As early as 20 10, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism measured the necks of more than 3,000 subjects, and tested their blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar and other indicators. It was found that the thicker the neck, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease.
If the male's neck circumference is more than 39 cm and the female's neck circumference is more than 35 cm, it means that the neck is thick and the risk of cardiovascular disease is high.
Zeng Qiang, director of the International Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, reminded that when measuring the neck, the tape should be placed horizontally at the thinnest part of the neck, that is, the upper edge of the seventh cervical vertebra behind the neck (the most prominent part behind the neck when lowering the head), and the measurement should be completed below the front Adam's apple.
In the final analysis, the most critical factor affecting health is still
Fat!
Visceral fat is necessary for human body, but if visceral fat is stored too much, it may lead to various health crises.
Visceral obesity, how terrible is it?
1. Causes heart and brain problems.
Human visceral fat content is too high, and it is more likely to suffer from hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Excess visceral fat may enter the blood, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, heart disease and metabolic syndrome, and increasing the risk of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and myocardial infarction.
2. Increase the burden on the heart
Excess adipose tissue in the body needs to consume more oxygen, which means that the heart must pump blood harder to provide more oxygen for adipose tissue.
In the long run, it will increase the pressure on the heart. The more fat accumulated in the artery, the worse the arterial function, the thicker the vascular wall, the less the blood flow, and the increased risk of thrombosis, which will affect the blood circulation of the whole body.
3. Cause corresponding organ diseases.
If fat cells are deposited in the liver, it may cause fatty liver, and if it is not treated in time, it may cause cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
Excess fat accumulated in the pancreas may lead to obesity of islet cells and cause diabetes.
When too much fat is deposited in the kidney, it will affect its function of purifying blood. The kidney needs to work harder, and in severe cases, renal failure may occur.
Once too much fat is deposited in the lungs, shortness of breath may occur, resulting in insufficient oxygen delivery in the blood stream, leading to systemic fatigue and affecting immune function.
In addition, excessive visceral fat can also affect mood and hormone secretion, causing anxiety.
Teach you a few tricks to help internal organs "slim down"
1. Eat more cellulose.
If you want to lose weight successfully, you can't lack cellulose. Can make excretion smooth and promote metabolism.
Foods rich in cellulose include oats, mung beans, tomatoes and grapefruit.
2. Limit daily calorie intake
Eating habits are also very important! If you don't have much activity at ordinary times, it is suggested that the calorie intake should not exceed the body weight (kg) × 25; If you exercise regularly and have a large amount of exercise, you should not consume more calories than your body weight (kg) ×35.
3. Eat less carbohydrates
Including rice, bread and other staple foods. Eating too much will cause too much sugar to be metabolized, thus allowing visceral fat to accumulate in the abdominal cavity. But don't stop eating, because when the carbohydrate intake is zero, the brain will be blank and unable to concentrate. For women with excessive visceral fat, the daily carbohydrate intake should not exceed 100g, and the ratio of three meals is 5:3:2, which is the golden ratio that is more conducive to digestion and metabolism.
Exercise at least half an hour a day.
People with excess visceral fat need half an hour to an hour of exercise every day, such as running, walking, swimming and cycling.
Ball games can not only consume energy, but also promote the secretion of adrenaline and help break down fat.
Even if you don't have abdominal obesity, if you are busy at work, often sedentary, have more entertainment and are in a bad mood, you should adjust your life according to the above methods to prevent problems before they happen.
