Nowadays, it seems that people don't take the body mass index value to measure whether they are fat or not. Initially, the value of body mass index was designed for statistical public health research. When it is necessary to know whether obesity is the cause of the disease, the body mass index is a very important reference value. But with the development of science and technology, to truly measure whether people are obese, we must infer the thickness of fat. Therefore, the role of body mass index is slowly changing, but the existence of body mass index is still meaningful, body mass index >; 24% people should still pay attention to the health problems caused by overweight. I believe many people will have such questions: you can wear clothes of size S, but there is still a circle of fat around your waist and abdomen; Obviously, he is not heavy, and even looks a little thin. Why is he so pregnant? Maybe you should make some changes!

What is centripetal obesity?

Refers to the fat deposition in the body, which is a type of obesity that begins to develop around the heart and abdomen. The thickest part of centripetal obesity is in the abdomen, and the waist circumference is often larger than the hip circumference. There is an index used to measure abdominal fat called waist-hip ratio, which is the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference. When the male is greater than 0.9 and the female is greater than 0.8, it can be judged as "centripetal obesity".

Aesthetics has always been very personal. Fat or thin, they all have their own styles, as long as they are healthy and happy. But compared with young people, our parents' generation reflected many more problems. Not old, so "the figure looks similar" and the stomach is big. This problem is actually serious.

Abdominal obesity has a lot to do with insulin. If you eat too much, your blood sugar will stimulate the secretion of more insulin. If you eat too much insulin, your blood sugar will rise. Blood sugar will rise after people eat it. Insulin participates in the anabolism of nutrients, and its main functions are to lower blood sugar, inhibit the production of glucose, promote the synthesis and storage of fat, and inhibit the decomposition of fat. Most fat cells grow around internal organs.

Visceral fat is different from subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is stored in abdominal cavity around viscera. A certain amount of visceral fat can support, stabilize and protect human viscera. However, if there is too much visceral fat, it will cause metabolic disorder, leading to complications such as hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and decreased body organ function. Many people in modern society may look fat or thin, especially office workers and middle-aged and elderly people. Many people need to lose weight by reducing visceral fat! In other places, fat is just fat, and we can see it with the naked eye. Visceral fat is easily overlooked, but the fat around the viscera is going to get sick.

Now more and more young people have this problem.
