If you say, what is the sign of contemporary men entering middle age, it must be the stomach, the pants that could be easily worn, but now it is alive and blocked by a stomach, it looks like it is dressed thin in life, I don't know that it is the helpless insistence of their own secret inhalation, and what is more terrible is that it seems that the stomach will also block the vitality that should be there: the memory is getting worse and worse, the quality of sleep is gradually declining, and even the joints are beginning to hurt...
In fact, this bulging belly is not only the body anxiety of modern people, but also hides many health crises.
Your stomach is called centripetal obesity
For such a large belly figure, there is a technical term in medicine called: centripetal obesity. It is not the same as we usually understand obesity, we usually say that obesity is mainly related to body mass index BMI and body fat rate, but the criterion for determining centripetal obesity, indeed waist circumference in general, when the male waist circumference ≥ 90 cm, female waist circumference ≥ 85 cm, then it belongs to the central type (centripetal) obesity.
Regarding this standard, I believe that someone will argue: I suck the abdomen and do not suck the abdomen, the waist circumference state after eating and not eating is obviously very different, maybe I am not centripetal obesity, do not panic, since there is a waist circumference standard, then there will be a standardized measurement requirement: it must be in the case of an empty stomach, keep the abdomen relaxed, feet apart by 25 to 30 cm, so that the weight is evenly distributed, the measurement position is in the horizontal position of the iliac front upper crest and the midpoint of the 12th rib lower edge of the connection (generally speaking, it is about the narrowest part of the waist visual inspection). The measuring ruler is pressed against the soft tissue, but not pressed, and the measurement is accurate to 0.1 cm.
The waist circumference value measured in such a state can truly represent whether you belong to centripetal obesity.
In fact, obesity has always been linked to health, why only emphasize centripetal obesity here? At present, a number of studies have shown that centripetal obesity is not only an important weather vane for predicting cardiovascular disease in middle-aged people, but also obesity in the abdomen is closely related to our brain atrophy.
Your belly may harbor these threats
1. Heart disease
For every 9.5 cm increase in waist circumference of fat people who are not considered to be concentric obese, the higher the risk of coronary heart disease, acute coronary heart disease events and death from coronary heart disease is
2. High blood pressure
Blood pressure is sensitive to changes in body weight, and the heavier the weight, the greater the risk of developing high blood pressure. Especially centripetal obesity, so when your stomach gradually rises, you can't take blood pressure lightly.
3. Cancer
Many people may not know that a major cause of rectal colon cancer is obesity. Once we have more abdominal fat, intestinal peristalsis slows down, and the contact time between carcinogens and the intestinal wall is prolonged, and the risk of bowel cancer increases.
4. Premature aging
Many people are completely indifferent to the growth of waist circumference, feeling that it is nothing more than affecting the beauty of clothing, in fact, the waist circumference is increasing day by day, the stomach is large, the waist circumference is an important indication that arteriosclerosis is progressing, and arteriosclerosis also indicates premature aging.
