What are the reasons for thin legs and fat belly

Some friends find that their legs are relatively thin, but their belly is relatively fat. This situation is actually quite common. For example, if there is a pregnancy in life, the belly will gradually become bigger, or if they often sit still for a long time, it will also accumulate fat in the belly.

The fetus grows slowly in the mother's uterus mainly to support the belly, with little impact on the legs. Moreover, due to the need for a large amount of nutrition during pregnancy, there is also a significant increase in fat on the belly, making childbirth a key factor for women to have thin legs and a large belly.

Countermeasure: Shrink your belly, walk, and slim down your belly

Postpartum belly size usually naturally decreases after 3-6 months of recovery, but few people can fully recover to before pregnancy. Therefore, people who have thin legs and a large belly due to giving birth can slim down their belly by walking with a contracted abdomen. You can also consciously tighten your abdomen while sitting.

Method: When walking, consciously tighten your abdomen and anus at all times, and walk for at least 1 hour every day. Sitting still for a long time is the easiest way to gain belly fat, and most women's thin legs and belly are mostly caused by prolonged sitting and lack of exercise.

Countermeasure: Get Moving

Sitting for long periods of time can lead to a big belly and a lot of meat, but it's just about being more active. People who don't have time to exercise can do more household chores, such as mopping the floor, cleaning windows, and stretching when they have nothing to do, which can help reduce belly fat.

If you don't like to move your stomach, your peristalsis will be slow. If you like to eat difficult to digest food and don't like to drink water, it will cause dry stool. Once the stool is dry, it cannot be discharged in time, and your stomach will become swollen, hard, and have a small belly. In this situation, as long as the stool is expelled, the body can recover its slim legs and flat belly.

Countermeasure: Drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning

Drinking honey water in large sips is necessary to soften feces, as most of the water in small sips is absorbed by the small intestine, resulting in poor effectiveness in softening feces. In addition to drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning, it is also important to drink water reasonably during the day and not wait until you are thirsty to drink.

Overeating and bloating the stomach is also a common cause of thin thighs and stomach. The most common reasons are men who like to drink beer and girls who love snacks and always feel bloated.

Countermeasure: Control eating and shrink the stomach

People with large stomach capacity should gradually reduce their food intake. Beer is the most bloated stomach, so it is important to drink less. Girls who love to eat snacks should also eat less. You can make a eating plan and write down what you eat every time to prevent yourself from eating too much unconsciously.

The belly is the easiest part of the body to accumulate fat. Many people have slender arms and legs, but the belly is big and has a lot of flesh. What's the reason for this? How can I lose weight on my stomach? As people age, their body's growth hormones decrease, and their muscles also decrease (consuming more calories per unit of muscle than fat). This slows down a person's metabolic capacity, and older people are more likely to accumulate fat by eating the same amount of food. The body is most likely to gain weight in the belly, so many middle-aged people experience thin legs and a larger belly with more meat.

Countermeasure: Exercise enhances metabolism

As you get older, you should exercise for half an hour every day to maintain your metabolic rate, so as to prevent weight gain on your belly.

The belly is the most prone area of the body to accumulate fat, and the fat in this area is close to the heart, which can easily enter the bloodstream and affect blood lipids and blood pressure, making it a true "heart and stomach problem". Data shows that the incidence of hypertension is twice as high among people with normal waist circumference between the ages of 20 and 30. The incidence of hypertension is 50% higher among people with normal waist circumference between the ages of 40 and 50.
