What causes a man to have a big belly?

We know that a woman's big belly means she is pregnant, but have you ever seen a man with a big belly? Many times we may think that drinking too much beer will make the belly look big, but are there other reasons? This is the topic we are going to discuss next, and we hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The root cause of obesity is that energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. Calories come from energy-supplying substances in food intake: protein (4kcal/g), fat (9kcal/g), and carbohydrates (4kcal/g). Calorie consumption mainly consists of three aspects: basal metabolism, physical activity, and food thermal effect. The focus of weight loss is to achieve a negative balance of calories (calorie intake is less than calorie consumption). The level of basal metabolism is mainly related to the body's nutritional status and eating habits, so not eating after noon is actually a very harmful way to lose weight. The amount of physical activity and the amount of exercise are not the same concept. Scientific research shows that high-intensity exercise is not conducive to weight loss. The thermal effect of food is generally 2 to 3 hours. This is the theoretical basis for many weight loss experts to say that eating small meals frequently is beneficial to weight loss. All weight loss methods are directly or indirectly centered around calories. The effective indicator is reducing calories, the healthy indicator is protecting basic metabolism, and the sustainable indicator is the feeling of fullness and satisfaction in appetite control.

As living standards improve, people are no longer pursuing a full meal three times a day, but spiritual, material and physical well-being. There are more and more high-risk people among the lack of exercise and the elderly, especially those who are obese and have big bellies. High blood pressure, diabetes, fatty liver, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, coronary heart disease, gout, etc. are all coming.

So if you find that your belly is getting bigger, you should pay attention to this issue. But one thing to note is that you must not think that a bigger belly has nothing to do with it. In fact, it is very harmful to your health. So I hope everyone can pay more attention to this aspect.
