In daily life, we can often see many men with round beer bellies. Although they are all called "beer belly", obesity really has little to do with beer.

Is the beer belly drunk by drinking beer?

From the point of view of nutrition, the calorie of 100 ml beer is only 40 calories, and the calorie of 600ml bottled beer that is often drunk is equivalent to half a bowl of rice. Therefore, beer is not a high-calorie food.

On the other hand, the metabolites of beer can't be stored in the body as energy, so it won't directly cause a beer belly.

In fact, the formation of beer belly is related to many factors, such as gender, age, exercise, sleep, diet and so on. Simply put, if the long-term energy intake is excessive and not consumed in time, fat will accumulate in the abdomen and form abdominal obesity. Even people who never drink beer will have a beer belly if they consume too much energy for a long time.

People with beer bellies may be more "short-lived"

As the saying goes, "waist circumference is big, life span is short", in fact, there is some scientific truth!

Abdominal obesity is also called visceral obesity, which means that excessive fat is not only accumulated under the skin, but also accumulated in the internal organs, which is very harmful.

Excessive accumulation of visceral fat may cause corresponding diseases. For example, lipid deposition on the arterial wall tends to narrow and harden blood vessels, leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and cerebral hemorrhage; Accumulation in the liver can cause fatty liver; Accumulation in the kidney can cause kidney diseases and so on. ...

Data show that beer belly is directly related to at least 15 diseases that can lead to death, such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and diabetes. Even increase the incidence of malignant tumors such as esophageal ai, gastric ai, colorectal ai and pancreatic ai.

How to lose "dangerous" beer belly?

In Chinese medicine, the essence of beer belly is spleen deficiency, and spleen is the organ that transports water and dampness. After spleen deficiency, the body's water-liquid metabolic function is out of balance, and the internal dampness stops accumulating in the body for a long time, and then becomes turbid, that is, "dampness stagnation produces phlegm." Beer belly is actually formed by accumulation of phlegm and dampness.

Abdominal obesity caused by spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness is actually rooted in the spleen and stomach, and can be "reduced abdomen" by the following methods:

0 1. Moxibustion for invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness

1, Zhongwan point: It has the functions of soothing the liver and nourishing the stomach, resolving food stagnation, regulating the stomach and strengthening the spleen, reducing adverse reactions and promoting diuresis. Moxibustion can regulate waterways and improve metabolism, thus helping to lose weight.

2, Shenque point: can promote the circulation of qi and blood, make the secretion function of digestive organs such as gastrointestinal tract active, and reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat.

3. Daheng point: it can help transport water and dampness, and has the functions of eliminating dampness and resolving stagnation, regulating qi and strengthening spleen, and regulating stomach.

4, with the pulse point: this point is the intersection of the gallbladder meridian and pulse of the foot shaoyang. Moxibustion at pulse points can supplement the yang of lower jiao, play the role of warming phlegm and eliminating dampness, make blood smooth and promote fat metabolism.

02. Push the abdomen and expel turbidity after a meal.

Pushing abdomen is also a good way to improve spleen deficiency. The method is simple: push your hands down from your heart 50 times.

Pushing the abdomen from top to bottom is equivalent to adjusting the meridians on the abdomen, that is, combing the meridians such as Ren Meridian, Stomach Meridian, Spleen Meridian, Kidney Meridian, Liver Meridian and Gallbladder Meridian, which can adjust the function of viscera and eliminate the excess garbage blocked in the body.

After pushing, some people will burp and fart, and then feel comfortable. This is the performance of turbidity removal. Push it often half an hour after meals, and insist on moxibustion at the same time. I believe that no matter how stubborn the beer belly is, it will be "leveled" slowly.
