Excessive accumulation of abdominal fat can be harmful beyond your imagination
Abdominal obesity and its causes
Abdominal obesity, also known as central obesity, is characterized by less obvious obesity in other areas, but more severe fat accumulation in the abdominal area. That is commonly referred to as "military belly" or "big belly".
Causes of Abdominal Obesity
The main cause of abdominal obesity is due to excessive accumulation of visceral fat. Generally, before the age of 40, women have a waist circumference of over 85cm and men have a waist circumference of over 90cm; After the age of 40, if a woman's waist circumference is greater than 90cm and a man's waist circumference is greater than 100cm, it belongs to more severe abdominal obesity.
As the saying goes: "An inch long waist, a short life", this is not a joke. The fat cells accumulated in the abdomen are the most active, and too much fat is very easy to enter the blood or liver, which can lead to fatty liver, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases. It belongs to malignant obesity.
What are the hazards of abdominal obesity?
Fatty liver
Most organs in the human body are located in the abdomen. When there is a significant accumulation of fat in the abdomen, it indicates excessive visceral fat. A small amount of visceral fat can protect the organs, but excessive accumulation of visceral fat can seriously affect visceral function, making the liver vulnerable to damage and leading to fatty liver.
Diabetes
Excessive accumulation of abdominal fat can easily lead to abnormal glucose metabolism, which can lead to unstable blood sugar and diabetes.
heart disease
Excessive abdominal fat can increase the demand for blood flow, thereby increasing the pumping burden on the heart and thickening the myocardium. At the same time, the increasing accumulation of fat on the arterial wall can cause arterial fat plaques in the human body. Once these fat plaques fall off, they can block blood vessels and lead to heart diseases.
cancer
Abdominal fat accumulation will cause endocrine disorder, and women are prone to breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Too much abdominal fat in men will lead to excessive pancreatic load and pancreatic cancer. Excessive adipose tissue releases nutrients such as estrogen that tumor tissue needs, promoting cancer cell growth.
