Even thin people can have a noticeable tummy and a sagging waist. There are several main reasons for the appearance of fatty deposits in the abdominal area,
Nerves and overeating
The most common cause of belly fat is poor diet. An excess of calories, which many people simply do not have time to use up during the day due to a not too active lifestyle, is usually deposited on the stomach. To get rid of body fat, it is enough to reconsider the diet and move more.
Bad habits make matters worse. Regular consumption of alcohol and smoking slows down the metabolism, changes the metabolic processes in the body, as a result, fatty deposits appear in the waist area. This is especially true of the regular consumption of beer, which contains female hormones that have a strong enough effect on the male body.
Stress is another reason for weight gain and abdominal enlargement. The fact is that a strong tension of the nervous system can increase the production of cortisol, and this hormone awakens a "wolfish" appetite in a person. As a result, the stressed person receives many more calories than they can spend during the day. One-time bouts of such an appetite cannot seriously damage the figure, but regular stress inevitably affects it.
Lack of sleep is a serious cause of belly fat. This reason is indirectly related to the previous one, since the body, which does not have enough sleep, experiences stress. As a result, cortisol is produced in huge quantities, which leads to overeating.
Hormonal problems
Hormonal imbalance may not have the best effect on the condition of the figure. All activities of the human body are regulated by hormones. Some hormones regulate glucose levels, others distribute oxygen and energy reserves. In the case of hormonal imbalance, the functioning of hormones slows down or is disrupted, and the person has problems with being overweight. If you are leading a healthy lifestyle but have problems with being overweight, see your doctor to have your hormonal system checked. This is most likely the case.
A sedentary lifestyle along with overeating leads to the accumulation of fat. It must be remembered that the body stores all unspent calories "in reserve". The number of calories required to keep the body functioning can vary quite a bit depending on age, weight, and metabolic rate. Exercising helps to speed up the metabolism and spend extra calories. If you don't have the time or energy to go to the gym, try to walk more. Regular walks consume quite an impressive amount of calories.
