Fat deposits on the abdomen. How to get rid of fat on your stomach

Very often, a pair of kilograms collected are deposited in the form of fat on the stomach. Many increase the waist is perceived simply as a lack of shape, but it is these fat deposits that can be a symptom of a number of diseases. We will tell you how to recognize the danger and what fats can be deposited in the abdomen.

Fat in the human body

Adipose tissue in the human body should be at least 11% (at a rate of 15-20%) for men and 16% (at a rate of 15-20%) for women. Fats perform a number of important functions, without which our body could not fully exist. First of all, we are talking about a stock of energy that can be consumed in critical situations. Also fatty tissue is responsible for metabolic processes in the body and the production of hormones, protects the body from cold.

It is accepted to distinguish two main types of adipose tissue:

• Subcutaneous fatty layer. It is found in all the anatomical parts of the body, but at the same time in each of them has a different thickness. In a person who is not obese, it is distributed relatively evenly. Overweight can change the shape of the figure - the subcutaneous fat layer increases on the hips, legs, in the abdomen, sometimes the shoulders and neck.
• Visceral (internal) fat. He surrounds the organs, almost all of his stock is in the abdominal cavity.

Both types of fat fulfill their role for the human body, and their too-intense thinning can lead to dangerous diseases. In particular, visceral fat ensures the correct arrangement of organs and protects them from possible injuries. However, too intensive growth of such layers requires mandatory fat burning, as it also significantly harms health.

Why, even with a small weight gain, does the stomach begin to grow first? The fact is that the fat on the abdomen is deposited immediately in two forms: as a subcutaneous fatty layer, which is quite pronounced here, and in the form of visceral accumulations.

Moreover, since the total percentage of adipose tissue in the body changes with age (the older the person, the more it will be), from about 40 years old, belly enough can appear in rather thin people. In this case, it will be about accumulation of internal fat.

Abdominal obesity (with a noticeable increase in volume in the abdominal cavity) is typical for men and women. Doctors often associate this type of completeness with hereditary metabolic disorders or predisposition to endocrine diseases.

Fat on the stomach and disease

The real danger to the health of fat on the stomach is if the waist exceeds:

• 80-85 cm in women.
• 90-94 cm for men.

If the indicators are greater than the given parameters, abdominal obesity may be a sign of a dangerous metabolic syndrome. In this case, fat burning is not just an aesthetic task, but goes into the category of medical. This is due to the fact that with waist volumes exceeding these figures, we can confidently talk about an overabundance of visceral fat. And it really hinders the internal organs to function fully. Because of their squeezing, the following complications can occur:

• Inflammatory processes.
• Violation of work, including patency, gastrointestinal tract.
• Diseases of the stomach, bladder, liver and other organs.

However, visceral fats are the most dangerous for the cardiovascular system. Within the metabolic syndrome, the following are also diagnosed:

• Increase of "bad" cholesterol and development of arteriosclerosis of blood vessels.
• Persistent arterial hypertension.
• Increased blood sugar, developing insulin resistance (resistance of cells to insulin).

All these factors significantly increase the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic heart failure. Also, people with metabolic syndrome often develop type 2 diabetes.

Recent studies have shown that visceral fats can also affect brain function, in particular, aggravate or accelerate the development of dementia. The increased risk of strokes often leads to multiple micro-strokes that a person may not even notice. However, with each such attack, part of the brain cells die, multi-infarct dementia develops.

Abdominal obesity can affect the endocrine system. In particular, very often fat on the abdomen becomes the cause of hormonal failures - in an insufficient amount of hormones produced by the thyroid gland, as well as sex hormones. This can lead to sexual dysfunction and infertility.

As a rule, burning fat in the abdominal area is the greatest problem. Therefore, with diagnosed abdominal obesity, it is necessary to approach complex weight loss. First of all, food changes. From the diet should be deleted:

• Products containing trans fats - fast food, semi-finished products, snacks and other.
• Fast carbohydrates - sugar, pastries, pasta, white bread, sweet soda water.
• Alcohol, including low-alcohol drinks. Beer must be completely banned.
• Fatty grades of meat, bacon, lard.
• Fried food.

The diet should be dominated by:

• Fresh vegetables. It is possible to fill the salad with a small amount of vegetable oil.
• Kashi, preferably boiled on water. Exclude white rice, because it refers to fast carbohydrates.
• Bird. At the same time cut off all visible fat, cook without skins.
• A fish. It is desirable to bake or simmer without adding oil.

It is also very important to drink enough pure water, because it speeds up metabolism and helps to get rid of fat on the stomach faster. Tea and coffee should be replaced with herbal infusions, broth of wild rose or compote from dried fruits without adding sugar.

Effective fat burning in the abdominal region is impossible without physical activity. Since the excessive growth of the visceral interlayer is associated with a slowing of the metabolism, when choosing a sport it is important to give preference to those species that contribute to the acceleration of metabolism:

• Aerobics.
• Badminton.
• Basketball, volleyball.
• Dancing.

In order to start fat burning, classes should last at least 25 minutes, but do not exercise for more than an hour. Regularity is also important - 3-5 times a week. If along with abdominal obesity there are other signs of a metabolic syndrome, in particular, high blood pressure, before choosing a type exercise  it is necessary to be examined at the cardiologist.

Fat on the abdomen is a perennial problem for women.

And where does it come from? Or maybe nothing terrible? It is believed in the East that a woman without a belly is not a woman. Maybe, really, well, his, this flat tummy?

Tastes, of course, do not argue. However, if we talk about the aesthetic side of the issue, then the opinions can be different. When it comes to health, there can not be two opinions: fat on the stomach and health - things are incompatible. If you have a problem with fat on your stomach, then you will inevitably have health problems. Let's consider this issue in more detail.

Than threaten health extra centimeters  around the waist?

They are the cause of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and obesity. Rather, not the fat itself, but the metabolic disorder to which it leads, the so-called metabolic syndrome (the death quartet). Fat acts in such a way that the sensitivity of tissues to insulin decreases. As for the hormones produced by the body, the fat accumulates them. As a result, a person falls ill.

So, fat in the abdominal area literally envelops all internal organs, filling the space between them. Fat on the stomach can cause many forms of cancer. It is necessary to know that big belly  can signal you about the accumulation of fluid in the body. As a rule, the cause of this disease is diseased kidneys or heart failure. It is worth noting that fat, accumulating in the abdominal cavity, can cause and disrupt the function of sexual glands. And this is not all! As you can see, the extra centimeters around the waist are big health problems

Now let's try to understand the causes of fat on the abdomen. It is notable to note that when we consume too much calories, they are inevitably stored as fat.

In other words, overeating leads to obesity.

Fat on the abdomen is also an indispensable component of a sedentary lifestyle.

The next reason is stress. If your life abounds with them, then it will not fail to manifest itself in the form of extra centimeters around the waist. The thing is that under stress in our body begins to develop a special hormone - cortisol. This hormone contributes to the fact that the body begins to accumulate fat. Where is the exit? Stop worrying over trifles! Every time, when you have cause for concern, think about your waist ...
   - Another point - the formation of fat in the abdominal cavity can be triggered by a violation of digestion. If there is no regular emptying of the intestine, then it inevitably accumulate stool masses. As a result, the level of toxins that enter through the intestinal wall penetrates the body. As a result, the body begins to build up fatty tissue around the intestine to protect the body from toxins. Thus, the formation of fat around the waist can signal serious problems of digestion ...

What to do?

Let's try to decide what to do with the reasons for the appearance of extra centimeters around the waist.

• Watch your intestines! Undoubtedly, as soon as you put food order to order, digestion will come back to normal. In a day you need to drink about two liters! Do not forget that water is the main participant in the metabolism in the body. The modern approach to the issue of fat burning on the stomach allows you to include in the recovery program also special fat burning ankscelerators.

• Well, be sure to regularly exercise! From fat on the abdomen very well help There is a series of exercises aimed at improving the intestinal motility! Well and the main thing is a special cardio load. By them we mean cycling, running and walking. Do one of the listed sports for an hour every day, and the result will be evident. One more thing: do not forget that you need to train not only the abdominal muscles, but also the back.

Well, and as a result: do you want to have good health? Hence,

Any girl wants to be charming and beautiful, and for this she emphasizes her dignity and hides shortcomings. But when the beach season suits, to hide excess weight and fat on the body becomes very difficult. Looking at the bright shop windows, flaunting open and spectacular swimsuits, the girls are upset, realizing that this is not in their shape. All the fault fat on the stomach and not a desire to do anything with it.

To date, methods for fighting fat in the abdomen and sides are more than enough. Lazybirds can take advantage of the wonders of modern surgery, but more demanding and purposeful ladies can choose for themselves a suitable diet  and the necessary set of exercises. The main thing is the desire to become slim and fit, and, of course, self-confidence. Do not you want to become self-confident, slender Madam, who will conquer the hearts of men and most importantly sparkle with happiness and health? Then forward, we work on ourselves!

Do I need to clean my belly and sides?

Many men, typing a certain amount of clearly extra pounds, do not get very upset. Moreover, some are convinced that a certain age should form a corresponding abdomen "for solidity." They recollect when "solidity" accumulates so much that it becomes embarrassing to sunbathe on the beach. Appearance clumsiness further reduces the attractiveness and even causes laughter of the opposite sex.

Women are much more emotional than men, and to the formation of fat on the abdomen and waist are more anxious and worried, looking to find all possible ways to get rid of. Especially due to their physiological characteristics they are more inclined to fullness and, in comparison with men, give a lot of attention to attractive appearance. Fat deposits around the waist - this is an additional weight, which has to be moved every day. That is, it is more to load the spine and joints of the legs, to wear out the heart, causing it to pump more blood.

Hanging from the front and sides of the abdomen is a self-limiting of physical and intellectual possibilities, from which it is necessary to get rid of both the ballast attached to the balloon basket. After all, without excess fat will get less tired, it will be possible to take the seemingly inaccessible intellectual peaks.

To think how to get rid of fat on the abdomen is also because it accumulates not only from the outside, but also inside the body. And when it becomes too much, the optimal blood supply to the digestive system is broken, which is fraught with various diseases.

All sorts of stagnant phenomena are gaining momentum. Inside the abdominal cavity and in other parts of the body, edema is formed. Accumulated water further increases body weight. Difficult blood flow and compression of the organs cause the growth of internal tissues, the formation of tumors of various nature.

Clumsiness of movements, limited movement to considerable distances, unattractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex is nothing but signs of decrepitude and aging of the body. The danger is that these signs and the inner conviction that this is indeed the case, launch the appropriate programs in the body. It turns out that overweight makes you feel and look older.

Why does fat accumulate on the stomach?

Of course, many people thought about this, because, as you can not say, hundreds of people can "boast" of a prominent tummy. The most offensive is that the fat accumulates on the abdomen and hips, because this is the most convenient and favorable place for its storage. Well, it's comfortable there. It's funny, it's not funny - but, really. Some are not particularly worried about the bulging stomach, and in vain, because the fat that is hiding there, is not so simple. The fact is that fatty masses are deposited not only between the skin and muscles, but also on internal organs. This is already alarming.

Visceral fat - this is the name of the one that envelops the insides, is dangerous and enters the body with both fatty foods and alcohol. Its presence suggests many very serious diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, stroke, atherosclerosis or high blood pressure. This is not the whole list of diseases that can provoke visceral fat on the stomach. Hereditary predisposition is also very important. Now it is necessary to understand how to remove fat from the stomach and sides, because this is not a simple matter!

So, let's draw an image of a modern woman who takes care of herself. In its arsenal, you can find not only perfumes with pheromones and megastendering carcasses for eyelashes, but also a lot of jars and tubes with creams. They are designed for both moisturizing the skin and wrestling. But, unfortunately, many girls and women are not at all stocked with body care products. Anti-cellulite creams, various scrubs and pulling lotions are absent on the shelves, but the progressing fat continues to settle on the hips and tummy.

Of course, creams and gels will not give a stunning effect, but to a small extent will help to combat the unbearable fat. Particularly happy that the fight can be easily done at home and do not spend a lot of money on salon procedures, which sometimes only exacerbate the situation and harm health.

Very effective are wraps that stimulate the burning of fats and tighten the skin. The most common and popular are coffee, chocolate and algae wraps. Consider the cheapest and tonic - coffee.

To prepare the composition, you need natural ground coffee, a little olive oil and water. A portion of coffee should be mixed with water until a thick mass is formed, then add oil (about 1-2 tablespoons) and mix thoroughly. This mixture should be applied on the abdomen and thighs, wrapped in a food film and under 2-3 warm blankets. Wrap time 1 hour. During this time, the processes responsible for the cleavage are activated, an excess liquid with some part of the fat leaves the body.

Course - 10-15 procedures. Perform them once every 3 days and the result is not late, the skin will become much more gentle and tight, because coffee is a great tool for pilling. One centimeter for the first time with the stomach will just go away.

How to clean the belly

The main drawback of various ways and diets for weight loss is the elimination of some one cause of excess body weight. In fact, remove the fat deposits are necessary in the complex. Watching that the applied methods of eliminating the chosen cause did not block the burning of fat, formed for other reasons.

How to motivate yourself and constantly support the desire to lose weight

The wisdom of the contemporary says: "A person can do everything, until he does nothing." The transition from theory to practice requires, above all, the acquisition of the necessary "fixation" on the final result. The desire to get rid of the stomach and sides should cease to be realized as an annoying flaw. On the contrary, it should become one of the main components of life in the coming months.

A constant psychological attitude is required for the expected result. "Sweetie" or "gingerbread" can be different, everyone without difficulty will name their own reasons to remove the folds on the abdomen and on the sides. Here are some incentives for inspiration:

• build up to attract the attention of the person who likes;
• to become as mobile and muscular as an idol;
• finally cease to stand out from the crowd with a huge body weight;
• show will and purpose to prove something to others;
• because I so want.

The most difficult - every day to maintain the proper level of emotional arousal, "fixation" on the goal. For some, the slide of dreams helps to keep the proper mood - an edited photo with the desired proportions of the body, when the disposal of fat on the waist and abdomen is completed.

Where to take the forces to overcome the band of failures

It is necessary to reconsider the perception of defeats and failures, unfair treatment of others, underestimation of personal merit, learn to overcome bouts of longing and hopelessness. After all, negative experiences cause the release of cortisol, which prevents the removal of fat from the abdomen and sides.

To overcome the black lanes of life requires an appropriate level of energy. It, as a rule, is not enough with the strengthened work of the heart muscle, the sooner the onset of fatigue due to the movement of excess body weight, the inadequacy of the blood circulation of fat-compressed internal organs. How to be?

A certain amount of scarce energy can be found by reducing the consumption of information coming from outside. Modern Internet, television with a huge number of TV channels, watching movies require certain energy costs.

Moreover, it is often necessary to perceive and assimilate information rather negative than positive. Bewitching involvement in the informational Matrix causes negative experiences (remember cortisol?), Lack of optimism, emotional protest or resentment, wasting precious energy.

It is enough to arrange visiting sites, limit correspondence, more strictly and carefully select television and movies for viewing, and after a while it will be surprising to say that the forces and time have significantly increased.

Excess fat on the abdomen is ugly and unhealthy: it is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Unhealthy fat on the stomach is called visceral fat - it accumulates around the liver and other organs of the abdominal cavity. Even people with normal weight, who have excess fat in the abdomen, are at risk of health problems. To prevent this, we will tell you why the stomach grows and how to remove excess fat in the abdominal area.

  Why does the abdomen grow in men and women: possible causes

Sometimes, gaining weight, we ourselves can determine the cause of adding kilograms - a decrease in physical activity and / or overeating. As a rule, to get rid of excess weight, it is enough to correct the diet and increase the consumption of calories during active pastime. However, sometimes the reason for weight gain is not so obvious, and fat accumulates in certain parts of the body, for example, in the abdominal region.

To determine why the stomach grows, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

• features of nutrition;
• beverages;
• level of physical activity;
• hormonal background;
• intestinal microflora.

Some diseases also lead to weight gain, therefore it will not be superfluous to see a doctor to exclude this factor.

  What food can increase the amount of visceral fat?

Every day you eat more sugar than you think. It is almost impossible to control its quantity in food, and it is possible to find sugar in sauces and in fried foods. In the course of the studies, a link was established between the large amount of sugar consumed and the fat on the stomach.

Try to reduce the amount of sugar and trans fat in the diet, so that fat is less deposited in the abdominal area.

Trans fats - the most harmful of existing, because their stability is achieved by saturation with hydrogen (hydrogenation). A use of such fats to extend the shelf life of various products, for example, crackers, muffins, baking mixes. It is proved that trans fats trigger inflammation and can lead to insulin resistance, heart disease and other diseases. It is not surprising that he grows such substances in both men and women.

A sufficient amount of protein in the diet is very important, since protein is not only the main building material for the body, it is not stored in reserve, but it also helps to control hunger and speed up metabolism. Lack of protein in the long term leads to weight gain and abdominal growth due to an increase in the level of the hormone called neuropeptide Y.

To control weight, you must also consume a sufficient amount of fiber - it satiates, stabilizes the hormones of hunger and allows you to eat less calories. If the diet is dominated by carbohydrates and not enough fiber, a person tries unsuccessfully to fight the feeling of hunger and gaining weight.

What kind of drinks provoke the deposition of fat on the stomach?

The first and most important liquid enemy flat stomach  is alcohol. First, it contains too much sugar, which in itself contributes to the accumulation of fat. Secondly, liquid calories do not affect appetite in the same way as solid food. If you drink calories, you do not eat up, because from above you add food. And, as a rule, this food is quite caloric and harmful. In addition, alcohol provokes inflammation, liver disease and other health problems and, as studies show, suppresses the burning of calories and promotes the deposition of fat. This explains why the belly grows, and why it is called a beer.

Sweet soda has long been justified and accused of weight gain, since it contains huge doses of sugar. However, fruit juices are also not the best drink for those who want to save the belly from excess fat, since even unsweetened 100% fruit juice contains a lot of sugar. If you compare 250 ml of juice and the same amount of cola, in their composition of sugar will be equally divided - 24 grams.

How does the level of physical activity affect fat in the abdomen?

A sedentary lifestyle is one of the most significant risk factors for ill health. The decline in the level of human activity has been observed for several decades. The study, which was conducted from 1988 to 2010 in the United States, showed that with reduced physical activity, weight gain, including an increase in abdominal girth, in men and women.

Physical activity will not only prevent the accumulation of fat on the stomach, but also strengthen health in general.

But this harm of inactivity is not limited. Studies also show that people who managed to get rid of fat on their stomachs gained weight once they began to lead an inactive lifestyle.

What hormonal changes can lead to abdominal growth?

In the menopausal period, women often wonder why the stomach grows. The fact is that during puberty, the hormone estrogen causes the body to accumulate fat in the thighs and buttocks - so the woman prepares for a potential pregnancy. Menopause occurs after the termination of menstruation, and at this time the level of estrogen decreases sharply, so fat is deposited in the abdomen.

Another hormone, an elevated level of which can provoke abdominal growth, is cortisol. This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands in stressful situations, but constant stress leads to the appearance of a "cortisol stomach". Nedosyp also leads to an increase in the level of cortisol and provokes weight gain.

How does the intestinal microflora affect the accumulation of fat?

The human intestine is home to various bacteria. Some of them bring benefit to the body, others harm it. Imbalance of bacteria in the intestine increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

Some studies show that the predominance of harmful bacteria leads to weight gain, including in the abdomen. In people with obesity, scientists found a large number of bacteria Firmicutes  and suggested that such bacteria increase the number of calories absorbed from food.

Answers to the question of why the stomach grows may be a lot: wrong eating habits, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, lack of physical activity, imbalance of bacteria in the intestines, frequent stresses and even diseases. In some cases, the abdomen grows because of the impact of several of the above factors. Therefore estet-portal.com believes that the approach to getting rid of fat on the abdomen should be complex - the right way of life will preserve harmony for many years.

Deposits on the abdomen

Age changes in the human body are manifested by an increase in the waist - this fact is usually considered a natural process. In the female half of humanity, the volume in the lower abdomen increases often after menopause, when the fat deposits can "descend" from the hands, legs and thighs into the abdomen.

Although this process is natural, but appearing   fat in the lower abdomen  threatens with dangerous consequences, much more than the inability to fasten pants.

Excess fatty deposits in the abdomen contribute to the development of diabetes, heart diseases and blood vessels, there have been cases of oncological diseases. The consequences are far off, are not they?

Why there is excess fat in the lower abdomen

The main indicator of weight is how well the equilibrium between the calories that you eat is properly controlled, and which burns the body as energy. If you need a lot of food, but at the same time you lead a sedentary lifestyle, you will be overweight. A lot of fat will be deposited just below the abdomen.

Fat in the lower abdomen can also appear in the aging process of the body. The reason is that with age decreases muscle mass, and fatty deposits at this time begin to dominate their volume. When this process occurs, the rate of calories consumed by your body decreases.

Many women after 40 years begin to notice that the crease in the lower abdomen increases, even if the weight remains within normal limits. The reason for this is a decrease in estrogen, which distributes fat throughout the body. In addition, at the genetic level, a woman may have a tendency to fullness or to a certain form of the body, for example, pear-shaped.

What is visceral fat

Fat layering in the lower abdomen consists of not only fatty tissue, but visceral fat. It is located deep inside and covers all internal organs.

Modern cosmetic procedures (cryolipolysis, liposuction) solve the problem of subcutaneous fat. And how to remove visceral fat? Artificially, it is not removed, especially since this type of fat is associated with fraught with consequences for the body.

The danger is that excess visceral fat produces hormones and substances that increase blood pressure and cholesterol level, disrupt the production of insulin by the body. How to understand that you need to remove visceral fat?

2. Roulette pull so that it is in tight contact with the skin (the effect of indentation);
3. Relax and exhale, measure the waist size without pulling the belly.

If the waist diameter is more than 88 centimeters, it means that the body has an unhealthy fat concentration in the abdominal region, which means the risk of co-occurring diseases. For men, this figure is 101 cm.
