It can affect all of us. In fact,
the abs-fat has a name: Apple-Shaped.
I like apples. They are my favorite
fruit. But, I do not like this type of apple.
The apple-shaped body typically has
more abdominal fat or torso fat, as I sometimes call it, which can be
detrimental to our health. Weight gain, lack of blood flow, high blood
pressure, heart disease, diabetes, back pain, and squeezing into jeans are all
associated with the apple-shaped “bod”. Recently, I had a conversation with
someone about how to get rid of "that fat" or "this" as
some refer to it. As we discussed, six different behaviors can affect lower
abdominal fat: 1) Genetics 2) Sugar intake and brady/stagnant-metabolism of
sugar 3) Fat intake and brady/stagnant
metabolism of fat 4) Alcohol intake 5) Lack of physical activity 6) Smoking.
A different take
When we look at these six, lack of
exercise, poor nutrition, and smoking are the guiltiest culprits of fat in
general. Smoking, however, is by far the most difficult of the three to
control. No one has to be a professional to know why. It is the only one of the
three behaviors that is a gas. When a gas goes into our bodies, it is either
hard to follow it or it cannot be followed at all. Foods are solids or liquids
in which their digestion can be followed. So, we know where the food is going;
and how it will be dissipated at complete digestion. Of course, there are a few
scanning procedures that give us a good look on digestion.
Take these six causes of excess
lower abdominal visceral fat and see what you can do with them. The two biggest
culprits: alcohol and smoking. The two culprits that can be controlled with the
appropriate increase in the usage of another culprit: sugar and fat with the
increase in physical activity (PA).
Progressing,
Derek
