5 reasons for the accumulation of abdominal fat

The accumulation of abdominal fat occurs, mainly, due to the increase in size of each cell, which happens even before said accumulation because preadipocytes show an increase in their RNA, reveals a study by researchers Mayo Clinic .
 

Michael Jensen, Mayo Clinic endocrinologist and principal author of said research, explains that the mechanism of abdominal fat accumulation is different to the lower part of the body, by a mechanism that produces a greater amount of fat cells , which motivates proteins to synthesize fats.

In this sense, the researcher explains that the accumulation of abdominal fat is the most dangerous since it carries the risk of developing metabolic diseases. In addition, he points out, it is conditioned with genes and hormones, but also with lifestyle and environmental factors:
 

1. The intake of alcohol . Its excessive consumption, in a short period of time, could activate mechanisms of caloric accumulation.
 

2. Tobacco use . When someone smokes, the total body fat is reduced, but the abdominal fat increases, which leads to the metabolic syndrome.

3. Sedentary
 

4. Bad nutrition. Copious meals full of saturated fats, simple sugars and excessive calories.
 

5. Stress The cortisol causes our body to produce energy to handle the stress , but also promotes the accumulation of fat around the organs, so if stress levels are high for several months or years, this can lead to a greater amount of abdominal fat.
 

6. Posture P Sitting badly with the curved column favors the lower development of the muscles of the abdomen, so that the accumulation of fat will be greater.
 

7. Diet. Severe calorie restriction only slows down metabolism, so the process of burning fats It will take more time.

The body fat it fulfills a fundamental role for the organism, because it acts as a thermal insulator and as the main reserve of energy to perform all its functions.

However, an excessive accumulation of abdominal fat can trigger serious health problems and increase the risk of chronic degenerative diseases. The best way to prevent it is through healthy living habits.
