Middle-aged people account for a large proportion of the people who have liposuction. As we age, the body of middle-aged people gradually enters a relatively stable stage, but at the same time, factors such as slowed metabolism and reduced exercise may also lead to the gradual accumulation of fat in the body. Excess fat not only affects appearance, but also poses a number of potential health threats. So, for middle-aged people, what are the specific harms of fat?
1. Hidden dangers of cardiovascular disease.
Excess fat, especially abdominal fat accumulation, is closely related to the development of cardiovascular disease. Too much fat can lead to an increase in LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, in the blood, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis. Adipose tissue also produces a variety of inflammatory factors, which further promote the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
2. Risk of diabetes.
Excess fat is also an important risk factor for diabetes. Adipose tissue produces a hormone called "resistin", which reduces the body's sensitivity to insulin, causing blood sugar to rise. In addition, excess fat can also affect the function of the pancreas, causing it to secrete less insulin, further making blood sugar control more difficult.
3. Pressure on bones and joints.
As fat gains, so does weight, which puts extra stress on bones and joints. Carrying too much weight for a long time may not only lead to accelerated joint wear and tear, but also may cause problems such as low back pain and knee pain.
Fourth, the burden on the respiratory system.
Too much fat can also affect the functioning of the respiratory system. Fat accumulates in the chest cavity and abdomen, which can limit the expansion of the lungs, resulting in poor breathing. Not only does this reduce quality of life, but it can also worsen the severity of problems such as snoring and sleep apnea.
Excess fat poses a multifaceted threat to the health of middle-aged people, and beauty seekers need to increase the proportion of vegetables, fruits and grains in their diet. In addition, increase the amount of exercise appropriately and burn some fat. For the sake of health, middle-aged beauty seekers need to pay more attention to their diet and lifestyle, and hope that everyone can live a healthy and happy life!
