Why do I have a little belly?

People's physical health can be reflected in their body shape. For example, people with poor cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health often have an obese body. Among them, a small belly is the most common. This is a layer of fat accumulation that grows in the abdomen. It can have a greater impact on people's health. Therefore, the phenomenon of a small belly must be taken seriously. Let's take a look at why we have a small belly?

1. Sedentary lifestyle: Lack of exercise and long periods of sitting are the most common problems among modern people; sitting and watching TV after a meal, or surfing the Internet while eating snacks. If you continue to sit still after eating, the sugar will be converted into fat and stored as excess fat in your abdomen.

Solution: Pay attention to shrinking your abdomen: When walking and standing, remember to shrink your abdomen and combine it with abdominal breathing. It may feel very hard in the first one or two days, but over time, you will see that your lower abdominal muscles become firmer and you can achieve the effect of losing weight.

2. Life pressure: Facing work pressure, many people will relieve their stress by eating a lot, or often overeat and stop only when they are very full. Unknowingly, they consume too many calories and unnecessary food, which can easily cause gastrointestinal protrusion.

Solution: Use abdominal breathing: The method of abdominal breathing is actually very simple. When you inhale, your belly swells, and when you exhale, your belly contracts. Although you may not be used to it at first, once you get used to it, it will help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote the excretion of waste in the body. On the other hand, it can also make the airflow smooth and increase lung capacity.

3. Bad posture: Many people do not have strong abdominal muscles. When sitting, they tend to lean their bodies on the back of a chair, unconsciously leaving their lower back empty. Or if they tend to walk with a hunched back, their bodies will unconsciously lean forward, causing their lower abdomen to be affected.

Solution: Maintain a correct posture: relax your shoulders while walking, swing your arms naturally, lift your lower abdomen, and maintain a slightly tense state. For women who have to sit in the office for a long time, they must sit properly. They should try to sit their buttocks deeply into the chair and keep their waist and back straight.

4. Difficult defecation: Many women suffer from constipation. Once constipation occurs for a long time, the body's waste will accumulate in the intestines. The surface of the intestines is like a filter. When the filter pores are blocked, chronic abdominal distension will form.
