What are the dangers of abdominal fat

The accumulation of abdominal fat is very dangerous, but many people are not aware of this danger. You should know that compared to other parts of the body, fat accumulation on the abdomen means that a large amount of fatty acids will be released into the blood, which is very dangerous and can easily cause fat accumulation in the arterial walls. Over time, the accumulated fat will cause hardening of the blood vessel lumen, which is a precursor to many diseases, such as angina pectoris. Coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases all come from here.

Currently, not many people are truly “waistline conscious”. A survey shows that among people with abdominal obesity, only 5% to 6% know that such a body shape will increase the risk of heart disease. Waist circumference is not only a measure of beauty, but also a sign of health. People with abdominal obesity are much more likely to suffer acute heart disease accidents than normal people. Men with abdominal obesity are 42% more likely to develop heart disease than other men, while women with large waist circumference are generally 44% more likely to develop heart disease than other women. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone to always pay attention to their waist circumference and take timely measures to control the growth of waist circumference.

Why belly fat is more harmful

Compared with fat in other parts of the body, the metabolism of waist fat is more active. Once too much fat accumulates in the abdominal cavity, a large amount of fatty acids will be released into the blood, causing lipids to deposit in the arterial walls, leading to narrowing and hardening of the blood vessel lumen, making it easy to develop cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and stroke. Excess abdominal fat can cause abnormal fat metabolism, leading to high blood pressure and dyslipidemia; it can also cause disorders in sugar metabolism in the body, thus causing diabetes. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia are all important risk factors for heart disease.

Therefore, you must lose the fat on your belly to maintain your good figure. First of all, you need to control your diet, reduce the frequency of consuming foods that are very high in calories, and try to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Generally, exercise is also required. Controlling diet alone is not enough. Controlling diet and exercising are good ways to reduce belly fat.
