Is beer belly caused by drinking beer?

The people usually call the situation of abdominal obesity as beer belly, many people think that beer belly is caused by drinking beer, but in fact there is no direct link between drinking beer and beer belly. Compared with other sugary drinks, beer itself is not high in calories and does not directly lead to abdominal obesity. But it is undeniable that most of the people who like to drink beer, will appear abdominal obesity, and men are more likely to appear such a situation. Mainly because drinking beer at the same time can increase appetite, eating more, indirectly lead to higher calories, in the long run will appear obese. Currently on the formation of beer belly causes, there are mainly the following two statements: a, genetic impact: some scholars believe that the formation of beer belly may have a relationship with the genetic genes of men. This gene fragment will make men’s fat accumulation in the abdomen, thus more likely to appear beer belly. And women are genetically influenced by the more likely to accumulate in the buttocks, therefore, beer belly is usually seen more in men. Second, the impact of acquired factors: 1, mental stress: many people for various reasons in a long-term mental high-pressure environment, lack of exercise, and mostly ambulatory work, poor gastrointestinal function of the crowd, so it leads to fat accumulation in the abdomen more easily. A part of the population in a high-pressure environment, will be through overeating to meet the psychological needs, will also cause rapid accumulation of body fat; 2, poor eating habits: if the long-term consumption of daily life is prone to fat accumulation of food, including high-fat food, refined grains, food with high sugar content and alcohol, etc., will lead to the accumulation of fat in the abdomen to form a beer belly; 3, ageing: with the growth of age, the Hormone secretion began to reduce, so that fat continues to increase and accumulate in the abdomen, gradually forming a beer belly; 4, lack of sleep: long-term failure to reach normal sleep time, will cause the body’s metabolism to slow down, will also lead to abdominal fat hoarding; 5, the wrong way to exercise: some people like to lose fat through exercise, but the wrong way to exercise does not have too much effect on the waist and abdominal weight loss, such as part of the people only Do aerobic exercise does not do strength training, or training intensity is not enough for the waist and abdominal weight loss are not much effect. So, beer belly and beer does not have much to do with, but other bad reasons for fat hoarding, long-term fat hoarding can easily lead to other diseases, such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, liver and kidney failure, etc., can be life-threatening when serious.
