What is inside the big belly of obese people?

In recent years, with the continuous development of society, it seems that there are more and more obese people around us. Among these obese individuals, some have a round and plump body, while others are fat in their waist and abdomen: their limbs do not look fat, but they are carrying a large belly. Actually, this group of people belongs to abdominal obesity. So, what is inside their stomachs? What are the hazards of abdominal obesity? Let's take a look below. Obese individuals often have subcutaneous and visceral fat in their stomachs. For overweight or even obese individuals, their body fat content is higher than that of the general population. And the reason why obese people have a big belly is not because they have any extra tissue, but still the result of excess fat accumulation. For individuals with abdominal obesity, the fat in their large belly is divided into two categories: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat: This refers to the fat that we can usually grab by hand, and if we want to perform liposuction surgery, this part of the fat will also be removed. Compared to visceral fat, subcutaneous fat has slightly lower harm to physical health, but it still does not mean that it can be ignored. If subcutaneous fat is too thick and surgery is required, fat can cause a lot of trouble for the surgery, and the wound healing after surgery will be slower and more prone to infection symptoms.

Visceral fat: Visceral fat is something we cannot touch. Some people may appear thin but have a high body fat percentage, which often means they have more visceral fat. Visceral fat exists in the abdominal cavity and can provide some support and protection to the internal organs. When there is excessive visceral fat, it can pose a significant threat to physical health. For obese individuals, the fat content in their abdominal organs is also higher than that of the general population. Various factors combined can cause them to have a large belly, sometimes even larger than pregnant women. What are the hazards of abdominal obesity? How to lose weight when you have a big belly? There are relatively intuitive detection criteria for abdominal obesity, with a waist circumference of ≥ 90cm for males or ≥ 85cm for females considered as abdominal obesity. Compared with other obesity types, it is more harmful, and can induce fatty liver, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other diseases. If the abdominal fat is too much, it can also lead to the compression of the patient's lungs, resulting in breathing difficulties, which has a greater impact on the quality of life. To lose belly fat, the most basic thing is definitely to control your mouth and open your legs. Controlling calorie intake and increasing exercise are essential. For white-collar workers, it is also necessary to correct their sedentary habits and strengthen abdominal exercise.

You can also practice abdominal breathing, which can fully utilize the function of the heart and lungs, increase lung capacity, and also help eliminate abdominal fat and promote blood circulation.
