Poor sleep can also lead to a beer belly.
Of course, every man's genes are different, and the possibility of "beer belly" is also different. Generally speaking, teenagers often have a "beer belly" because of overnutrition; For middle-aged people, sleep quality is the main reason. With the increase of age, the deep sleep stage of men will also decrease. Because of poor sleep quality, hormone secretion will be reduced. The lack of hormones will increase the adipose tissue in the body and gather in the abdomen, and the effect will be more obvious with the increase of age.
In addition, many middle-aged people sit in the office for a long time and lack exercise, which is easy to cause abdominal fat accumulation. Under the pressure of work, many people will overeat, leading to indigestion, which is also easy to cause overweight. Some people think that "the heart is wide and the body is fat", and getting fat is a carefree performance. Most men get fat soon after they get married. There are about 30 billion fat cells in the average man, and these cells will gain weight with age. Therefore, almost every man is always heavier than before after the age of 30, and his genes, hormones and slow metabolism begin to affect his abdomen. Drinking beer has nothing to do with waistline.
Traditionally, drinking too much beer will make people have a big "beer belly", but the latest research shows that how much beer to drink has nothing to do with people's waistline.
European researchers have found that people who drink beer are not more likely to have a beer belly or even obesity than those who don't drink beer. Although beer is not a diet drink, it is not the reason why drinkers are overweight. The researchers found that excluding physical exercise and education, people who regularly drink beer will not have bigger waistlines and heavier weights than those who don't drink or rarely drink.
However, among men who love drinking, non-smokers are more likely to gain weight than smokers. Recently, British and Czech researchers conducted a random sampling survey on drinking habits and obesity of nearly 2,000 Czechs, and found that "beer belly" has little to do with how much beer you drink. In fact, a glass of beer has only 150 calories and only 0.3 grams of fat, and beer contains substances such as raspberries, which can also reduce the probability of heart disease and diabetes. Therefore, it is no problem to drink a glass of beer every day.
"Beer belly" is harmful.
According to a report recently published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the annual expenditure for treating obesity-related diseases in the United States is about $75 billion, which exceeds the amount for treating diseases caused by smoking and alcoholism. If the probability of general obesity is higher after middle age, abdominal obesity ("beer belly") will increase with age. Abdominal obesity has attracted great attention of the World Health Organization, because many countries have entered an aging society. If we don't pay attention to abdominal obesity, "beer belly" is likely to become one of the most dangerous killers affecting health.
Abdominal obesity is one of the main factors to accelerate aging. At present, it has been proved that there are more than 15 diseases directly related to abdominal obesity, including coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral embolism, breast cancer, liver and kidney failure and so on. Previously, studies showed that men with "beer bellies" were eight times more likely to suffer from hypertension, five times more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease and seven times more likely to suffer from diabetes. Diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction are also common among men with "beer bellies". Eliminating the "beer belly" requires many efforts.
In order to eliminate the "beer belly", we need to work together in many ways, such as eating 7 points full at ordinary times; Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day; Take a hot bath before going to bed to improve sleep.
Japanese medical experts have formulated a set of exercises that can be done anytime and anywhere, which has a good effect on eliminating "beer belly". First, support your elbows with your hands and stand with your legs side by side; Second, take fewer elevators and walk upstairs; Third, whatever you can do standing up, you'd better do it standing up, such as waiting for someone, making a phone call, reading newspapers, putting on shoes and socks, etc. Slightly stand on tiptoe, so that the body is in a relatively tense state. Experts also suggest that in order to lose the fat on the stomach, it is best to strengthen the abdominal exercise while strengthening the whole body exercise.
In addition, three meals a day: breakfast and lunch can not be ignored. If you don't have lunch, you will probably go home hungry and have a big meal at the table. Eat less snacks: only carry low-fat and low-energy snacks or snacks, such as fruits, vegetables and biscuits.
Put a bottle of water on your desk: be sure to drink water during the day. When you want to eat sweets, just drink a glass of water, and the desire to eat sweets will soon disappear. Don't let mental stress make you eat more: when you are stressed, don't pick up food, but go out for a walk. Physical activity is more conducive to relieving mental stress than eating.
Don't eat out: Restaurant meals usually contain more energy and fat than those cooked at home. Pay attention to the restaurants serving low-fat meals near your unit. Don't go to fast food chains because there are few low-fat foods to choose from.
Don't eat alone: eat with colleagues and friends. Focus on your partner's conversation, not food. Don't eat buffet: buffet often leads to eating a lot.
Pay attention to drinking: alcohol contains high energy, which can prevent the consumption of body fat and reduce willpower. If you want to drink some wine, you'd better mix it with soda water. Drink plenty of water and low-energy drinks.
