At the beginning of the new year, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a severe stroke, instantly becoming the focus of world attention, and is now reportedly a vegetable. Sharon, now 77, started out as a hawk. The Chinese translation of his name is very much in line with the hawkish style. Sha is the same sound as kill, killing also. Dragon, open teeth and claws, no one is not in awe. And then look at Sharon’s physique, the general belly like a small mountain abruptly, also live up to the name of the Eagle School. It is precisely this majestic general belly, and Sharon’s stroke has inextricable links, is one of the important reasons for the onset of Sharon. What is Sharon’s waistline? This is an Israeli state secret and is not known. But it’s not hard to get a vague idea. Look at Sharon on camera, the horizontal diameter almost to compete with its height, no need to ask again, waist circumference must be greatly over the standard. Considering Sharon’s age of 77 and his greatly exceeded waist circumference, his health must have been in jeopardy before. Chinese people often say: the longer the waistband, the shorter the life expectancy. Excessive waist circumference is an enemy of health and is closely related to hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. Waist circumference is over the standard, indicating that the body too much fat accumulation in the viscera, that is, central obesity. This contains double unfavorable factors: firstly, there is too much body fat; secondly, the body fat is unevenly distributed, mostly concentrated in the viscera. In the case that the total amount of fat wants to be equal, the unevenly distributed fat is more harmful than the evenly distributed fat. First, it is inconvenient and unattractive to move around; second, it aggravates insulin resistance. What is insulin resistance? Insulin resistance is when the body is insensitive to insulin, and thus insulin is inefficient in promoting glucose metabolism. The result? On the one hand, tissue cells cannot metabolize glucose well and lack fuel and are in a state of starvation. On the other hand, the glucose that cannot be metabolized accumulates in the blood circulation, disturbing the stability of the internal environment and providing a ground for the development of rich diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. With the soil of hypertension, diabetes, etc., what is irrigated with? The answer is bad eating habits. With the improvement of material living standards, eating, not simply for survival, more often eat for enjoyment or socializing, so people consume a lot of carbohydrates, proteins, fats. At the same time, modern social conditions, people’s exercise less and less, the consumption of calories is naturally decreasing, has eaten into the body of excess carbohydrates, protein, fat had to be used to irrigate the soil. In this way, it constitutes a vicious circle, the result of the cycle is more and more general belly on the street, more and more high. Research shows that Chinese men’s waist circumference greater than or equal to 85 cm, women’s waist circumference greater than or equal to 80 cm, it is obese. Be alert: the vicious cycle is underway. What is the cause of insulin resistance? It is also related to eating. Trace the historical origin, human beings have gone through hundreds of millions of years of hard evolution before becoming the spirit of everything today. During the long evolutionary process, food was scarce, so we had to work hard all day long and forage for food, eating just to survive, so the evolutionary result was that the body used food very efficiently and adapted to the lack of food. However, in the last decade or so, at most a few decades, the food supply has become very rich, eating not only to survive, but more often to enjoy the delicious. The body, which has evolved over hundreds of millions of years, cannot adapt to the sudden change in living conditions over the past decade or so, and is overwhelmed by the sudden influx of food, which inhibits the body’s sensitivity to insulin and makes insulin inefficient in promoting glucose metabolism. The visible manifestation to the naked eye is the increasing number of people with bulging hills in their abdomen, and the invisible manifestation to the naked eye is the imbalance of the internal environment, which becomes the ground for the development of affluenza. This can be called the historical origin and historical root of the occurrence of insulin resistance. How to prevent excessive waist circumference? What should I do if my waistline is oversized?
