A belly that grows due to constant beer consumption has nothing to do with a man's status.
It is clear that alcohol has never brought any benefit to anyone, but the case with beer is a separate topic for conversation.
Nutritionist Sofia Eliashevich told Life.ru about the consequences of regular beer consumption.
A beer belly is not just excess weight, it also increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
The most serious problem arises from the accumulation of visceral fat.
It accumulates in the abdominal cavity and poses a threat to the functioning of internal organs.
As a result, the normal functioning of the body is disrupted.
Therefore, it is important to be able to distinguish between normal changes and a possible threat.
Visceral fat in men begins to accumulate after 30-35 years.
If a man leads a sedentary lifestyle and eats unhealthily, the situation gets worse.
Along with beer, sweet drinks lead to the deposition of visceral fat.
To avoid sad consequences, it is important to remember a few numbers.
For women, the critical indicator is a waist circumference of 80 centimeters, and for men it should not be more than 94 cm.
A male waist circumference of more than 102 cm, and a female waist circumference of more than 88 cm, indicates visceral obesity.
This is fraught with heart and vascular diseases, type II diabetes, fatty liver disease, erectile dysfunction.
In such cases, you need to see a doctor, undergo an examination and take the necessary tests for sugar and cholesterol.
After this, the doctor will prescribe a diet, determine physical activity and prescribe treatment.
