Introduction

Fat stored under the abdominal muscles and around intestines and organs contributes to pushing out the abdominal muscles and fat, causing the “beer belly”. There are many myths and facts about that beer belly. Sadly, you can ignore what you see on TV and in magazines – there’s no such thing as “spot” weight reduction that targets only the belly.

Causes

Genetics, gender, hormones and age are the major factors that determine the pattern of fat storage and its loss. Reducing fat in any one area of the body requires total body fat reduction. For many men and women, the first place to gain and the last place to lose fat is the tummy. Exercises like sit-ups, crunches, hip and leg raises only exercise muscles beneath fat – and it’s the fat that has to go.

Risks

Belly fat in the midsection does more than reduce your chances of winning the swimsuit competition. It’s linked to a variety of health problems, from type 2 diabetes to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

Treatment

The only real way to healthy weight loss is to use more energy than you’re consuming. In other words, eat less and move more! If you aren’t sure about a healthy food plan, see a nutritionist. Then check with your doctor and if he or she gives you the heads-up, get to gym and lose that paunch.
