The dangers of a big belly for men

When men reach middle age, they will have a beer belly. The pot-bellied appearance is a true portrayal of many men. There are many dangers of a man with a big belly and obesity. Men should not indulge themselves and accept their obesity, but try to solve their obesity problem. Because a man with a big belly and obesity is harmful to the body far beyond our imagination, let's talk about it together.

Men's obesity is mainly in the abdomen, which is medically called abdominal obesity or "apple-shaped obesity." In contrast, women's obesity is mostly in the buttocks, which is called "pear-shaped obesity."

Compared with women's "pear-shaped obesity", men's "apple-shaped obesity" is more harmful.

Because a large amount of fat accumulated in the abdominal cavity presses on internal organs, it can easily lead to organ dysfunction.

Today, when many weight loss drugs are targeting women, men seem to be under less pressure about their body shape than women. Therefore, there are far fewer men than women who pay much attention to their body shape. It is also because of this that men are very susceptible to diseases caused by obesity.

Losing weight is not just a female thing. Men should pay as much attention to their weight as women.

If a man is too fat, not only will it lead to erectile dysfunction, but it will also affect his sexual confidence. If a woman is too thin, it will cause a decrease in estrogen levels, which will greatly reduce sex.

Fat men have awkward sex lives. Men who are “fat in heart but big in body” actually don’t have a satisfying life—at least they face more problems in their sex lives than other people.

From a physiological point of view, there is a large amount of "aromatase" in the body of obese people, which promotes the conversion of androgen to estrogen, resulting in excessive estrogen accumulation in the male body and relatively low androgen levels. It can be said that the secretion of androgen gradually decreases with the increase of body weight.

The reduction of androgen will inevitably lead to problems such as decreased male libido and sexual dysfunction. In addition, obese men often have poor physical fitness and poor body coordination, which will reduce the success rate of sexual life.

The detection rates of several major medical diseases such as cardiovascular and fat metabolism in the "abdominal obesity type" are higher than those in the "non-abdominal obesity type", and are more generally higher than those in normal weight groups.
