Why is "beer belly" the source of all diseases? What are its hazards?
Women have less beer bellies than men. There is a saying that the effect of female estrogen makes it easier for fat to accumulate under the skin of buttocks and thighs, which can provide energy during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Therefore, in women, we see more layers of "swimming rings" and soft "big bellies" with subcutaneous fat accumulation, and less hard "beer bellies" with visceral fat accumulation. Of course, less does not mean no, and women should also pay attention to preventing obesity.

If it is a "big belly" whose skin loses elasticity and cannot be retracted, this kind of "abdominal plastic surgery" can be used to remove the loose tissue and flatten the abdominal wall:

People will get fat in middle age, so getting bigger belly is one of the obvious characteristics of middle age, so if a man has a beer belly, he will look older than the people around him, and it seems that his face value will also decrease. In addition, we all know that there is an obvious difference between fat people and thin people in daily life: thin people look very light, and they are full of energy and flexible in doing any activities. On the other hand, fat people feel heavy when walking, let alone doing any exercise. Therefore, a big belly will affect your normal activities and behaviors, making the whole person look heavy and aging.

In fact, big belly is the common name of abdominal obesity, which is caused by visceral fat accumulation, and its main reason is obesity. Obesity is mainly related to energy intake and consumption. If energy intake is greater than energy consumption, it will lead to obesity, and fat will easily accumulate in these places.

Obesity is also related to people's daily diet. If the total energy intake is not high and the energy consumption is high, it will not lead to obesity and abdominal fat accumulation. From the whole diet, beer is only an energy source, and if the total energy intake is not much, it will not lead to abdominal obesity. So it is a bit wrong to say that beer is the chief culprit of "beer belly".

However, does beer really cause abdominal obesity? Scientists have also done a lot of research and exploration. But the results are inconsistent. Some studies think that beer can promote "beer belly" [1], while others think that it will not [2].

In view of the current research results, in 20 13 years, researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark made a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of the research on beer, obesity and abdominal obesity published up to 20 10. After excluding the problematic studies, they analyzed 35 observational studies and 12 experimental studies. It is found that there is not enough evidence that drinking less than 500 ml of beer a day is directly related to abdominal obesity, but drinking more than this amount of beer may be related to abdominal obesity [3].
