I was writing an article about weight loss recently, and suddenly I thought of the Olympic gold medal. Su Bingtian went from sixth place to silver medal little by little. It is the pride of Asians, and it can also be said that it is the pride of yellow people. In the 100-meter competition, there are really not many white and yellow people who can enter the finals. They are all black. Of course, black people have advantages in terms of physical fitness, but they are not incapable of competing. Through scientific training, we can still compete.
At that time, Su Bingtian thanked Liu Xiang, the pioneer of Chinese track and field. It was Liu Xiang who defeated the black man in the technically demanding event 100m hurdles, which strengthened his confidence in making history in the 100m competition. The 32-year-old Su Bingtian Still fighting hard, making people cry and moving.
continues to write about weight loss research, starting from body shape to weight, from simple weight and weighing to weight distribution, mainly talking about where fat is concentrated on your body. A person's fat is mainly concentrated in the waist and abdomen, and the two ends are small and the middle is large. We call it an " apple-shaped body "; a person's fat is mainly concentrated in the buttocks and thighs, and the top is small and the bottom is big. We call it a "pear-shaped body." . These two people have different body shapes, but their base weight can be exactly the same.
Why should we distinguish the distribution of body weight? Because there are different ways to gain weight, although on the surface they both have fat accumulation, the situations of "apple fat" and "pear-shaped fat" are completely different. The fat in the buttocks and thighs of a pear-shaped body is subcutaneous fat, which is the kind of fat you can pinch with your hand; while the fat accumulated in the waist and abdomen of an apple-shaped body is both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the body.
There are often articles stating that the pear-shaped body is healthier than the apple-shaped body. The main reason is the visceral fat problem. An appropriate amount of visceral fat can protect our organs, but too much fat will cause the organs to be unable to work properly. For example, fatty liver , which more and more people have heard of, is such a situation. In addition, these visceral fats may also release fatty acids into the blood through veins, increasing and blood lipids .
You may have heard that people with "too fat apples" may be less healthy. Moreover, people with excess waist and abdominal fat such as "Apple Fat" have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes , sleep apnea and other diseases than other people, even if they are not overweight. In other words, a large waist circumference is a health risk factor independent of obesity.
Finally, let’s talk about nutritional science. The ultimate goal of body shape management is health. Specifically, this management process is to formulate an appropriate diet and exercise plan based on the base weight, observe weight changes in stages, and strive to improve weight distribution. Because in the weight management process, only the energy gap is considered, weight changes may be achieved, but weight distribution is difficult to improve.
Some people are determined to keep their mouth shut and move their legs. They don't eat any greasy fish or meat, and even do sit-ups every morning and evening. As a result, after a period of time, the weight base did drop a bit, but the waist circumference was still about the same as before, and the indicators of fatty liver did not improve. Even if you exercise your abdominal muscles, it does not mean that you have consumed the visceral fat in your abdomen. If you lose weight, you cannot tell where you will lose weight.
