Hormonal causes and effective prevention measures of increasing belly fat

Belly fat has become a common problem today. Especially in women, this problem is seen more during menopause. Not only wrong catering or physical inactivity, but hormonal imbalance in the body is also a major reason. Some special hormones of the body control the distribution and accumulation of fat. When there is a disturbance in them, fat starts to accumulate rapidly around the stomach.

1. Deficiency of estrogen hormone

Estrogen is the major hormone of women, which plays a role in not only reproductive health, but also in balanced distribution of body fat.

• Estrogen levels are reduced during menopause, which slows down the metabolism of the body and starts accumulating around the fat.
• This is the reason that after menopause it becomes common in women to increase abdominal fat.

2. Insulin Resistance

Insulin is the hormone that controls blood sugar in the body.

• When the body loses sensitivity to insulin, it is called insulin resistance.
• In this case, the body starts storing as fat instead of converting sugar into energy, which increases belly fat.

3. Cortisol and Tension

Cortisol is commonly called “stress hormone”.

• When under stress, the body secretes more of this hormone.
• Cortisol increases the inner parts of the body, especially around the stomach, visceral fat.
• Stay under persistent stress, even if food is balanced, can be a major reason for increasing abdominal fat.

4. Excess intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates

• Excess sugar and refined carbs intake not only increase weight, but it also promotes insulin resistance.
• To reduce belly fat, it is necessary to distance away from things made from sugar, sweets, sweet drinks and flour.
• Instead, give priority to fiber -rich, entire and nutritious diet.
