The origin of the beer belly.
Beer belly is the common name for abdominal obesity, which is actually caused by the long-term accumulation of visceral fat.
Male hormone secretion will gradually decrease with age, poor sleep quality and other factors, hormone deficiency makes body fat increase and accumulate in the abdomen, the older you get, the more obvious the accumulation of visceral fat.
Many studies have shown that belly fat accumulation is associated with a number of health problems, such as high blood pressure, type diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.
Abdominal obesity can be caused by an unhealthy diet Xi habits, lack of exercise, and glucocorticoid disorders under intense stress.
The real reason for the "beer belly" is overeating.
Although the wine is made from grain, a considerable part of the energy has been consumed in the long brewing process.
The energy released during the conversion from glucose to alcohol is one of the energy sources that yeast relies on. After distillation, the energy content of the finished liquor is much lower than that of grain.
In the common wine in life, the main energy is the alcohol itself, usually the higher the degree of alcohol, the higher the energy of the wine, although the sugar content of beer in the wine is more, but in fact, the sugar content of a bottle of canned beer is not as much as half a bowl of rice.
Alcohol is easier to burn calories than carbohydrates and fats, so drinking a small amount of beer doesn't turn into a "beer belly".
But usually, three or five friends get together for dinner, eat and chat, although a small amount of beer will not cause obesity, but before you know it, the more you drink.
Beer will promote the secretion of gastric juice in the human body, which can increase appetite, and at the same time, eating a large number of high-calorie "appetizers" will increase the absorption of fat, and over time, more and more fat will accumulate in the abdomen, which will eventually lead to the appearance of fat on the stomach, forming a "beer belly".
Therefore, uncontrolled overeating and large consumption of high-calorie "appetizers" are the real causes of "beer belly".
