There is no such term as "beer belly" in medicine.
This expression is used in common parlance to describe the accumulation of visceral fat in the abdominal area.
This problem usually affects men, but it can also occur in women.
Causes of a beer belly
Contrary to popular belief, a beer belly is not only caused by beer or other alcoholic beverages.
The main "threat" comes from large amounts of high-calorie food.
How to Get Rid of a Beer Belly
Of course, you should eliminate the main reason for the appearance of a beer belly, that is, reconsider your diet.
Reduce your consumption of foods that contain unhealthy carbohydrates. These include sweets and cakes, white bread, white pasta, etc.
Try to eat healthy foods: vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, legumes, whole grains. You should consume more fiber.
Don't forget to drink enough water every day. But sweetened drinks, as well as fruit juices, should be on the stop list. Alcohol is also prohibited. Firstly, it has a lot of calories, and secondly, it whets the appetite.
Eat slowly and avoid snacks altogether. Main meals are enough. Of course, you shouldn't go near the refrigerator at night.
