Sometimes I laugh when I see men who are 3-6 months heavy with big protruding round stomach. Now I began to wonder that did it come naturally or they themselves caused it. Well lets find out.
Pot Belly or Abdominal obesity is when excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen has built up to the extent that it is likely to have a negative impact on health. In these part of the world, obesity is not really attended to as a serious health issue. The belief is people who take in alcoholic drink will have pot belly Yes it is a predisposing factor to have a pot belly stomach. But do you know that consumption of food (Junk food) without burning them out is also a leading cause .Potbellies comprise two types of fat that is, a soft potbelly is made largely of what is called subcutaneous fat, meaning fat that lies beneath the skin, just above the muscle tissue. That is why it is soft - your hand is pushing against a layer of fat.
A hard potbelly has more of what is referred to as visceral fat, which is fat between your muscles and organs. Hard bellies place you at greater risk of cardiovascular disease and intestinal disorders. The reason is that the fat is deep inside, pushing against your internal organs and disrupting the normal working of your digestive and circulatory systems.
A point to note:. Pot belly raises your cholesterol level and increases chances of coronary-artery disease. why: your body burns fat continually . Most fat is absorbed from its storage place directly into your bloodstream, which transports it to wherever it is needed for energy. Unfortunately, your liver sees this high concentration of fat passing through and responds by producing excess LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol that blocks up your arteries).
There are several ways to stop fat collecting around your stomach region - cut dietary fat, which the body stores around the stomach region, exercise to burn fat and try lift weights to increase your resting metabolism . Also, avoid big meals, smoking of cigarettes, strengthen your back by exercising it this act can shrink pot bellies.
Note : Edible compounds called phytoestrogens (found in plant foods such as soy products, bean sprouts, seeds and nuts) help distribute fat evenly on the body instead of letting it lump in one place.
