With the improvement of people's living standards and the acceleration of work rhythms, more and more middle-aged people are troubled by an increasingly protruding big belly. Based on the Chinese body type, if a man's waist circumference is 90 cm or more and a woman's waist circumference is 80 cm or more, they should be careful with their diet and do more exercise to avoid abdominal obesity.

There are many reasons for having a big belly, with the same incidence rate for both men and women regarding fatty liver treatment [http://www.ganshu.net]. The causes include genetics, poor endocrine function, insufficient exercise, and frequently eating fattening foods. For example, beer, chocolate, fried foods, and starchy foods can worsen the problem; insufficient exercise can also lead to an increasing big belly, especially for those engaged in office work, as they tend to lack exercise due to long working hours, leading to fat accumulation in the lower body, causing the formation of a belly. As for poor endocrine function, it refers to a person's slowed metabolism or being easily excited and hungry, leading to overeating and thus forming obesity.

1. Take care of your liver. Is the belly related to the liver? Yes. Since the formation of a belly is related to waste, the effectiveness of the liver, which is responsible for detoxification, becomes an important factor. Fatty liver and a big belly have a chicken-and-egg relationship, so we don't need to investigate further. In short, to eliminate the big belly, you must take care of your liver.

2. Aerobic exercise. Can doing more abdominal exercises get rid of the belly? No. In dealing with the belly, you need to have an "overall concept." Aerobic exercise is the only effective way to burn fat. You certainly don't need to complete five kilometers like a competitor; just climbing stairs or walking briskly on the road for 40 minutes daily will suffice. Remember, at least 40 minutes, because fat starts burning 30 minutes after exercise. People who are determined to lose fat often choose to join the "walking tribe," which means walking to work. If you also start to be "determined" from now, then join them.

3. Waste clearance. Since a big belly originates from wastewater, exhaust gas, and feces, regularly cleaning up these three wastes inside the body is very necessary.

4. Abdominal muscle exercise. This item is for "adding flowers to brocade," making your abdomen flat.

5. Many hidden dangers of a big belly: increasing blood sugar and lipids. If a person is not overly obese but has a large belly; or if they are already obese and have an invincible big belly, they need to be more careful. A big belly affects the changes in free fatty acids, reducing the sensitivity of insulin within the body, meaning that insulin cannot be used to convert blood sugar and fat, leading to increased blood sugar and lipids, causing vascular hardening, resulting in coronary heart disease and type II diabetes. Generally, a person's weight index is proportional to their waist circumference data; the larger the belly, the greater the risk factors. People with oversized waists are twice as likely to develop coronary heart disease and diabetes compared to those with normal weights. The larger the belly, the greater the heart's load, and the higher the chances of developing heart disease.
