What Is Belly Fat & What Causes It? 

To know the ways to lose belly fat you should first understand the reasons behind it. Understand what is belly fat and what causes it. 

Belly fat is the fat that gets deposited around the stomach and changes the body shape. Men above the 25 are more prone to get belly fat. And once the fat increases around our tummy it becomes difficult to stop it or release it.

Reasons Responsible For Belly Fat:

 1. Eating Too Much: 

There is an old proverb “Excess of everything is bad”, which means we should do anything in moderation. Not too less, not too much, just balanced.  A well- balanced diet can lead to a healthy life. One who knows what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat, is the real savior. Excess consumption is always harmful, no matter how healthy a food is. Pizza, burgers, french fries, cold drinks, and all the junk food we consume in our day-to-day lives, is a major contributors to accumulating belly fat. 

2. Less Physical Movement:

Move it till you get it. If you don’t move your body enough there are higher possibilities of you getting belly fat. With the arrival of the digital era, the era of physical movement bid adieu. We keep ourselves so occupied with phones and laptops that we forget to move. Right from work to online shopping, everything happens with one click.  Why bother to go to the market, when the market can come to us? This mindset has made us lethargic and rewarded us with fat and poor health. 

3. Disturbed Sleep Schedule 

Sleep-deprived people are more likely to gain weight. The reason is the hormonal imbalance caused by a disturbed sleep cycle. Our body produces 2 hormones Ghrelin & Leptin. Ghrelin tells you when to eat and Leptin tells you when to stop eating. The body with a lack of sleep produces more Ghrelin and less leptin. As a result, the sensation of hunger increases and leads to weight gain. 

4. Smoking Is Injurious To Health

Your smoking habit is another reason behind increased belly fat. 

A study suggests even if the smokers have less Body Mass Index (BMI), they have bigger bellies in comparison to non-smokers.

5. Medication Could Be Another Reason

Medicines surely do cure, treat and prevent diseases but they bring fat too. The answer to your belly fat is hidden inside your medicine box. Medicines bring along fat and other health complications. So avoid taking medicines for every small health problem 

6. Aging/ Growing Old

You can not prevent your body from growing with increasing age, but you can surely stop it from accumulating fat in the wrong places. Hormonal changes with growing age bring fat. 

7. Biological Inheritance 

We mostly inherit our physique from our parents. Genes control how your body burns calories, how quickly you feel full, and whether you gain weight in your thighs, butt, or belly. If either of your parents is fat, there is quite a possibility of you gaining weight.

8. Go For Surgery 

There are many surgeries available that help in reduce fat. Bariatric (Obesity) surgery is a popular one, which includes a variety of procedures performed on obese people. They work on the principle of reducing the size of the stomach so the food intake is limited. It can be achieved by removing a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy) or by making a small stomach pouch and re-routing the small intestines to that pouch (gastric bypass surgery). It is done when diet and exercise fail to work. 

Note: People with heart complications or other serious ailments, can be operated for Bariatric surgery with some precaution and pre operation medical evaluation by experts. At Ansh Obecure Medically compromised patients are getting treatments with utmost care and safety.
