Get to know why you have Fat belly ?

Before toning your abs, you need to understand a bit more about how your body works and get to know why you are struggling with issues related to overweight.

Its commonly stated that improper eating or lack of exercise lead to fat tummy. While this may be the most common case, there can also be other reasons some are listed below.

Menopause

While menopause a natural change for all women, fat begins storing itself in different places and often times focuses around the belly.

Genetics

Almost all diseases have a genetic component, but the importance of that component varies.We often see fat people with apple shaped body appearance . Why is that ? its just because they are the the kind of person that stores more fat in your stomach and middle section than anywhere else .Overweight family often found heavier around the middle area then it’s quite possible that you have the genes that make you genetically apple-shaped when you put on excess weight. It means their body is more likely to store its fat in their stomach than anywhere else.

Stress

When you are under stress, your body releases the hormone cortisol. In turn, this hormone causes your liver to make excess sugar that your body doesn’t really need. As a result, you begin to feel hungrier and begin to eat more. And guess what….a lot of those calories go straight to your stomach!

Improper Digestion

Improper digestion may cause several kinds of gastrointestinal problems leaving you gassy and bloated. Many people who complain about persistent belly fat often times have gas which causes the bloating effect.

Slow Metabolism

A slower metabolism dont burn calories as fast or as easily so result in extra storage of fat…particularly around the middle.

Poor Posture

Bet you never thought about this one! If you have poor posture, it can give you that "pot belly" appearance. Stand in the mirror hunched over and look at your abdominals. Now stand erect. Look at the difference in how your belly protrudes when you are hunched.There is probably some unwanted fat there too, but your posture can make a huge difference in how your stomach looks.

Eating Late at Night

If you want to control your stomach fat, you should never eat within three hours of your bedtime. You want your food to have a chance to fully digest before you retire for the evening. Going to bed with a full stomach puts you at greater risk for fat storage around the middle area. If you are going to munch late at night, eat something healthy like a banana or a small handful of almonds. Determine Your Cause As I said earlier, the number one cause of excess stomach fat is improper diet and lack of exercise. We all need to be mindful of that no matter what size we are.

However, as you’ve just seen, there are other factors that contribute to belly fat as well so it’s important to learn more about why you may have this problem. Particularly if you tend to gain more fat in your stomach than any other part of your body.
