As a rule, young guys look slim and fit. Even girls are sometimes envious of them, they say, guys eat everything they want and do not get better! And the whole point is that the youthful organism is a rather energetic thing, capable of processing all the calories entering it. But years go by, the guy grows up, and his stomach sometimes increases . Why is the stomach growing?
In men, sizes are a special topic! They mean a lot to the strong half of humanity. For example, many men by the age of 30 completely lose their athletic form! Their tight stomach turns into a sagging tummy or large belly. All sorts of studies in this area have shown that a huge "mammon" (Jewish stomach) with a normal male weight has a negative effect on his health. According to statistics, the mortality rate among people with a large waist is quite high. Sorry for the details, but many "pot-bellied" men are horrified that their dignity is simply lost against the background of fat folds! Why does the stomach grow in middle-aged and elderly men? Let's find out!
Why do men grow stomach?
There are so many different opinions. Some say that this is due to the abuse of beer, others are inclined to think that the wrong diet is to blame, some are almost sure that this is due to being constantly behind the wheel, others say that the metabolic disorder in the body is true the reason why the stomach is growing! In men, all of the above factors, of course, “contribute” to this problem, but that’s not all. Do not think that everything is so simple. The reasons why men’s stomach grows are completely different, friends, and there are only two of them! Let us dwell on them in more detail.
So why the stomach is growing
- In men, the most important muscles responsible for the appearance of their abdomen are, of course, the abdominal muscles. It happens that they lose their tone, relax. It is their weakness that provokes his "swelling". For example, beer lovers quickly lose their tone with the rectus abdominis muscle, which provokes the formation of a "beer barrel" in the place where until recently there was a tightened press. And for drivers, on the contrary, the stomach begins to hang down on the sides. This is because a man sits in a car in such a way that his oblique muscles absolutely relax.
- The second reason for the large male abdomen is the presence of body fat. Of course, at first it’s a completely harmless fat layer, which is difficult to notice with the naked eye. But over time, subcutaneous fat, and hence abdominal (internal) fat, located in the omentum and surrounding the organs of the abdominal cavity , grows . It is this internal fat, according to doctors, that causes huge damage to men's health! Indeed, for its processing of the liver, one has to take even more insulin from the blood, which leads to its increase in the blood. This, in turn, leads to a rapid heart rate. I think no need to explain that it wears out faster than usual. As a result - diabetes, hypertension, the risk of stroke and problems with potency.
