Belly fat is not only unsightly but also very unhealthy
Our body's "glucose" and "insulin" are inseparable. Insulin controls the entry of glucose into cells and converts glucose into fat. When we eat a large amount of food, the glucose concentration in the blood increases, and the pancreas secretes insulin. The higher the blood sugar, the pancreas must release more insulin to send sugar into the cells, and more fat is stored, especially visible abdominal fat and invisible visceral fat. When your belly gets bigger, your response to insulin will become worse, which is the so-called "insulin resistance." The body needs more insulin to metabolize and process sugar. This will form a repeated cycle of high blood sugar-high insulin-visceral fat accumulation.
A visible fat belly may make you look unattractive in clothes and make it difficult to squeeze it into jeans. The scary thing is the invisible abdominal visceral fat. It can be said to be a year-round inflammation factory. The more visceral fat, the greater the amount of abnormal substances released! In fact, it is just like other organs or glands. It is a very large, active and unique endocrine gland that specializes in secreting inflammatory substances and damaging the body's health. Excess estrogen produced by visceral fat will increase the risk of breast cancer in women, because high concentrations of estrogen will stimulate breast tissue; for men who originally secrete only a small amount of estrogen, estrogen will stimulate the growth of breast tissue, and rising concentrations will make the breasts enlarged and embarrassing.
Therefore, belly fat is not only unsightly but also very unhealthy!
