Tummy Trousing

For every revolution and advancement, there is always a downside because science will always find a way to make things easier for people and we are the ones that are integrating the science with our own lives.  Science then in this regard becomes the necessary evil because our mind will always be inclined to think of the words “push button”, “instant food”, “ready to drink”  etc. and etc.

While these advancements tend to make life more pleasurable and easier, they have also become enemies of our health.

With minimal physical activity and poor diet, the body becomes idle.  Unfortunately, one of the first areas to be hit is the abdomen, a favorite lodging area for fat.  Nay sayers would say blame it on the genes or their hormones BUT THE REAL FACT is that a person’s lifestyle is said to be more contributory.

For men, they gain weight on their bellies and for women, fat tends to accumulate itself on their hips and thighs.

Abdominal fat for both men and women has affected the self-esteem and physical health of many people.

For men, each increase of approximately 5.5 inches (14.5 centimetres) in their waist circumference means that there is a 35 percent greater chance or risk for heart disease.

For women, an increase of  six inches (15 centimetres) equates to a 40 percent greater risk in acquiring heart disease as well.

Even lean people are not spared from this once their abdomen starts to accumulate that unnecessary fat.

This is not just for the drama of having a good body as a person ages but for health purposes as well.

Visceral fat or fat that amass the surrounding organs of the stomach is dangerous for both men and women.  Furthermore, the risk on women is greater since this is coupled by the occurrence of either pre-menopause or during the menopausal stage.

Henceforth, an expanding belly or  protracted hips  should not be taken merely as an ugly occurrence but it should serve as a sign that the body could be saying something.

In dealing with abdominal fat, pay more respect to what the body is saying and not on what other people are saying.  Do not wonder but do something about it.
