"Beer belly", is it drunk by drinking beer?
Not necessarily!
"Beer belly" this pot,
You can't let the beer carry it alone.
The root cause of "beer belly" is obesity, and beer is not high in calories compared to common drinks.
| class | capacity | energy |
| Beer (can) | 330ml | 100-132 kcal |
| Coke (can) | 330ml | 142 kcal |
| Mong Chai milk (can) | 245ml | 190 kcal |
| Pure milk | 250ml | 185 kcal |
In addition, the energy metabolism mode of alcohol is different from protein, fat and carbohydrates, and it is almost not stored in the body as energy, so drinking a small amount of beer will not directly lead to abdominal obesity.
Although speaking of beer itself
Not the culprit of the "beer belly",
But it doesn't mean you can be "greedy".
Studies have found that drinking alcohol increases appetite and makes people eat more. Beer with barbecue, crayfish, hot pot and fried chicken will indirectly lead to a rise in calories, which may cause obesity and form a "beer belly" in the long run.
When the waist is too thick,
Estrogen tends to be higher than normal,
It is even easy to induce a variety of cancers.
Waist circumference for every additional 10cm,
The risk of 14 types of cancer increases accordingly.
When visceral fat occupies a large amount of space in normal tissues, it is likely to cause a series of symptoms. For example, chest tightness, tiredness, difficulty breathing, indigestion, oil aversion, nausea, etc.
At the same time, multiple diseases are beckoning. For example, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, arteriosclerosis, etc.
Drinking alcohol is not necessarily "beer belly",
But it really hurts the liver!
More than 90% of the alcohol drunk into the stomach must be metabolized by the liver, and the acetaldehyde and free radicals produced in metabolism will not only kill liver cells, this metabolic process will also increase the accumulation of fat in the liver, which is also damaging liver function, so drinking really hurts the liver.
In addition, women are more sensitive to alcohol-induced liver damage, and fewer doses and shorter drinking years may also contribute to severe alcoholic liver disease.
If you sometimes have to drink, according to the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2022", both men and women, daily alcohol intake should be controlled within 15 grams.
How much wine exactly?
You can divide 1500 by the degree of alcohol,
Simple estimates, such as:
4 degree beer: to control at 375 ml, probably 1 small bottle or 1 small can.
or
10% wine: to control within 150 ml, about 1/3 glass of a standard volume (430 ml) wine glass.
or
56-degree liquor: To control within 27 ml, the 100 ml two-pot head has to be divided by almost 4 people.
In addition, eating something when drinking, taking small sips and drinking slowly, do not mix with carbonated drinks, which are conducive to slowing down alcohol absorption and damage to the liver.
