Recently, medical researchers published a study concluding that the risk of hypertension increases significantly when waist circumference is not controlled, even when body mass index (BMI) is controlled. The cumulative incidence of hypertension was highest in those with uncontrolled waist circumference and controlled BMI, and lowest in those with both controlled waist circumference and controlled BMI. Everyone wants to have a “small waist”, but helplessly, it is easy to grow the belly, but difficult to eliminate the belly. Many people can lose weight, but the “big belly” is not moving, not only affect the body shape and damage to health. Reduce weight loss is not just exercise, diet two aspects, then, reduce the “beer belly” what special tricks? Measure your waist circumference exceeds the standard? The method of measuring waist circumference is to leather ruler around the waist, adjust the height, so that the left and right sides of the intestinal bones (hands forked waist, palms touch the bones on both sides of the pelvis) to the middle point of the lower edge of the rib cage, while paying attention to the ruler and the ground to maintain the level, close and not squeeze the skin. The resultant reading is the waist circumference. According to China obesity working group data summary, classification standards determine, waist circumference male ≥ 85cm (2.55 feet), female ≥ 80cm (2.4 feet) for abdominal obesity, that is, “beer belly”. Waist circumference is too large, commonly known as “beer belly”, “beer belly” is mainly abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat accumulation and the formation of more, and thus closely related to hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Because of this, “eliminate belly” task is very difficult, weight loss specialist, quite a few people are not overweight, only the waistline does not meet the standard. Because of this, some studies say that waist circumference than body mass index BMI (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared to arrive at the number) more accurately reflect the distribution of body fat. WHO statistics show that the incidence of beer belly is now a younger and rising trend. Poor sleep, easy to grow belly middle-aged people have a greater chance of beer belly, which is closely related to lifestyle habits, work pressure. “Mentally stressed people become a high-risk group of beer belly.” Fast-paced life, busy work, stress will directly affect the quality of sleep, poor sleep quality, the secretion of hormones subsequently reduced, which makes the body fat increased and gathered in the abdomen, and the older the more obvious the impact. Secondly, long hours sitting in the office, the lack of exercise is also prone to abdominal fat hoarding, especially “sitting still after meals” practice is particularly undesirable. As the saying goes, “100 steps after meals, live to ninety-nine”, a walk after meals can help the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, increase the digestive function of the enhanced, so that the absorption of fat, metabolism to maintain normal. Beer appetite, for “beer belly” cause “beer belly” the name makes people feel that beer is the culprit. “Beer belly and the beer itself is not necessarily linked, a glass of beer calories only 150 calories, a glass of beer fat is only 0.3 grams. However, beer contains hops, so that beer has a bitter taste and flavor, but also has a stomachic and diuretic effect.” Thus, drinking beer often makes people appetite, intake of too much high-calorie, high-fat dishes (such as peanuts, beef, etc.), over time, it increases the accumulation of abdominal fat, inducing beer belly. In addition to beer, wine will make people increase the secretion of stomach acid, appetite. “If you love to drink, but do not want to have a big belly, drinking when you have to reduce the consumption of high-calorie and high-fat dishes, and often do exercise, it is not easy to have a “beer belly”.” He suggested. Adhere to the brisk walking, can prevent beer belly Men after 30 years old should start to pay attention to their weight, after 40 years old to strengthen the control of the weight, not to let the waistline rise.

To lose belly fat, it is best to strengthen the abdominal exercise on top of such full-body aerobic exercise. ”The most suitable exercise for beer belly is jogging and sit-up exercises. Office workers are recommended to take the elevator less, walk upstairs; where you can stand to complete things, it is best to stand to complete, such as waiting for people, phone calls, read the newspaper, put on shoes and socks, etc.. Stand slightly on tiptoe, so that the body is in a more tense state, etc.” He said.
