The social pressure nowadays is very huge. Many people, especially women, no longer need to just be good housewives. They need to work hard with their husbands to support their families and children. Sitting for a long time causes many women to become obese, especially in the lower abdomen. So, what methods can help us lose belly fat? Let me show you about it today. A new study finds that women over 60 who have excess abdominal fat are at higher risk for arterial thrombosis than those with systemic obesity or obesity in other parts of the body. The researchers noted that obesity is different in women, with fat more likely to accumulate in the abdomen as they age. Previous studies have shown that people with excess abdominal fat have an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at the Danish Center for Clinical and Basic Research measured body fat in 1,365 women aged 60 to 85 and scanned their aortas for small calcified plaques, early signs of atherosclerosis. They then compared the risk of atherosclerosis in women with abdominal obesity and peripheral obesity (such as obesity in the arms, hips and buttocks). Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fatty deposits in the artery walls, and patients are at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The results showed that women with more obvious abdominal obesity had more severe aortic calcification, while women with lower aortic calcification usually had only general obesity. Researchers believe that women with abdominal obesity are more susceptible to atherosclerosis, and that a higher proportion of women with abdominal obesity have already suffered myocardial infarction, which shows that exercise and maintaining weight are crucial. So, why do women tend to gain weight in their lower abdomen? The reason why women's lower abdomen is easy to gain weight The abdomen is where fat is most likely to accumulate, which is obvious to all, but why is it so easy for fat to accumulate in this place? You may think that it is due to long-term sitting at work. However, people who do not sit for long periods of time will also produce excess fat in the abdomen when they are obese. This shows that it is not only people who sit for long periods of time that are more likely to have fat accumulate in the abdomen. In other words, most people gain weight starting from the abdomen. Why is that? The biggest difference between the abdomen and other parts is the type of abdominal muscles. In other words, the ability of the abdominal muscles to resist fat is very weak. The muscles in the abdomen are smooth muscles. This is an important factor that makes it easy for muscle fat to accumulate in the abdomen. Smooth muscle is different from skeletal muscle in other parts of the body. This smooth muscle is mainly innervated by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are controlled by human consciousness. Smooth muscle is not that both ends of each muscle fiber (i.e., muscle cell) are connected to the bones through tendons; smooth muscle cells are connected to each other to form a tubular structure or a hollow organ; in terms of function, it can cause the organ to move and deform by shortening and generating tension, and can also produce continuous contraction or tonic contraction to make the organ resist the added load and maintain its original shape. In other words, its main work scope is based on the internal organs of the body. In layman's terms, this muscle is very defensive (protective). In fact, most of the time, abdominal obesity is generally caused by us not developing good work and rest habits, eating habits and living habits. So, girls who want to lose belly fat, the first thing you need to do is to correct your bad habits. |
