What causes a man's belly to be big?

Starting from the age of 40, male sex hormone function decreases, androgen metabolism decreases, and the level of biologically active testosterone also decreases, but the levels of estrogen in the blood and urine are increasing. The increase in estrogen levels counteracts the effect of androgens, leading to a decrease in muscle mass in men, promoting the formation of fat, and the accumulation of visceral fat, resulting in central obesity.

This kind of big belly not only causes sagging and dull problems in life, but is also associated with many diseases. People with high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, diabetes and other sick groups may have low testosterone levels.

The body's androgen levels gradually decrease with age, and physiological functions begin to decline. Coupled with fierce social competition and extreme pressure at work and family, many men will also suffer from low libido, reduced erectile function, osteoporosis, sweating, depression, restlessness and reduced concentration, anxiety, and tendency to lose temper.

Poor sleep quality

Generally, people who sleep less will gain weight than those who sleep more, so we need to pay attention to controlling our sleep time. Research has shown that people who sleep within 5 hours have a 32% increase in visceral fat; people who sleep for 6 to 7 hours, body fat increases by 13%; people who sleep for no less than 8 hours increase by 22%. We basically think that people who sleep more will become obese. However, it is not true that if you sleep too much, you will be fat, and if you sleep too little, you will be fatter.

Overeating and overeating

Wine is a healthy drink with high caloric content. Drinking wine may cause fat deposition in the body, which may lead to potbelly. Wine is an alcoholic beverage that has a certain amount of calories, and wine has the effect of increasing the body's appetite. Therefore, after boys drink wine, they will eat a lot of other foods to replenish their appetite. As a result, abdominal fat accumulates more and more. The most likely place for fat to accumulate in our bodies is the waist and abdomen, thus forming the "General's Belly."

Relief of human metabolism

Generally, married men are around 30 years old, and the proportion of body fat and muscle tissue changes after the age of 20. As age increases, the fat content becomes more and more and the muscle tissue becomes lower and lower. Even if the weight does not change, the fat volume increases, resulting in the expansion of body dimensions, such as hips, waist, arms, etc.

In addition, people feel that as age increases and the amount of exercise decreases, metabolism decreases. Even if the caloric intake does not change and the body's metabolism slows down, unnecessary calories will become fat.

Changes in life patterns

Unmarried men do not pay attention to the rules of life. It is said that if one person eats enough, the whole family will not be hungry. After marriage, although the diet becomes more regular, they no longer pay attention to appearance and exercise, and enjoy a peaceful life after meals. This makes it very easy to gain weight.

Increased work pressure

Married men will face greater family pressure and economic pressure. Under long-term work pressure, they are prone to irregular work and rest, reduced kidney function, and are prone to gastric heat, abnormal appetite, overeating, etc. Obesity caused by work pressure is also called liver and stomach fire obesity, which often occurs in men after the age of 30.

What should I do if I have a fat belly?

Carry out reasonable exercise

In order to get a flat belly, you need to do some reasonable exercises. You should usually participate in more fitness exercises to burn belly fat, such as jogging, mountain climbing, cycling, swimming, playing basketball, etc. If you don’t have time at ordinary times, you can speed up your hiking speed while hiking and hike quickly.

Moderate control of diet

Controlling your diet is the first and most important step in losing weight. Even if you exercise regularly, you still consume a lot of high-calorie and high-sugar foods, and the amount you consume in exercise cannot offset the amount you consume. Therefore, you must eat less sweets, animal fats, etc. on a daily basis, and eat at least 70% full, which can promote the consumption of body fat.
