Identifying different types of abdominal obesity and correcting incorrect postures that lead to abdominal fat

II. Large-bellied woman

Large stomach is a type of abdominal obesity that exists in many young women, and the main cause of large stomach is diet.

Many modern white-collar women, due to their busy work and fast-paced lives, often try to shorten their mealtimes as much as possible. While eating, they often make phone calls or are busy with their work, resulting in food not being absorbed in time and accumulating in the stomach, causing stomach enlargement.

[Recommendation] To solve the problem of a protruding belly caused by an enlarged stomach, you should start by changing your eating habits.

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly, pay attention to healthy eating, try to eat easily digestible foods, and then combine this with appropriate exercise to gradually adjust your diet.

3. Belly-shaped pregnant woman

"Big belly" refers to a body type where the abdomen below the navel is relatively large.

Women with large bellies are most likely to develop this condition after childbirth, partly due to fluid retention and partly because their abdomen becomes loose and inelastic after giving birth.

In addition, habitually sitting after meals, drinking water while eating, and chronic constipation are all important causes of a large belly.

[Recommendation] Women who have just given birth must pay attention to adjusting their diet and lifestyle in a timely manner, otherwise it will be difficult for their loose abdomen to regain its elasticity.

Incorrect postures that lead to abdominal obesity

To sculpt a perfect abs, check out these incorrect postures!

Correcting mistakes if they exist and striving to improve if they don't is something every beauty enthusiast must do.

I. Standing and walking postures

● Incorrect posture

1. When standing, slump your shoulders, stick out your stomach, and put weight on one leg.

2. Habitually crossing your arms in front of your chest prevents your abdominal muscles from engaging, making them prone to bulging.

● Correct posture

1. When walking, keep your head up, chest out, and swing your arms.

2. When standing, open your shoulders as much as possible, let your arms hang naturally, tuck in your abdomen, straighten your chest, slightly lift your buttocks, and tilt your head slightly upwards, so that your eyes can look straight ahead.

II. Sitting Posture

● Incorrect sitting posture

1. Bending over, sticking out your stomach, hunching your back, and slouching with your chest hunched are all incorrect sitting postures.

2. Leaning too far forward and having a protruding abdomen can also cause excess fat to accumulate in the abdomen.

Excessive tension in the whole body is detrimental to both physical and mental health.

● Correct sitting posture

1. Keep your upper body straight, tuck in your abdomen, slightly tuck in your chin, and keep your legs together.

2. The knee joint is slightly higher than the hip joint.

When sitting in a chair with a backrest, try to keep your lower back pressed against the backrest so that the muscles in your lumbosacral region do not get tired.

The most beautiful woman is one who can breathe.

Some people might see this and say, "Who doesn't know how to breathe?"

What is the relationship between breathing and reducing belly fat?

Of course they are related. There are different breathing methods for running and practicing Qigong. There are also different breathing methods for reducing belly fat.

To achieve a slim waist, start with your breathing.

Medical experts have confirmed that regular practice of abdominal breathing can increase lung capacity, improve cardiopulmonary function, and also help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote the elimination of waste from the body.

Weight loss can be achieved by improving the function of abdominal organs.

Therefore, weight loss experts recommend that those who want to lose weight should learn abdominal breathing.

1. Inhale through your nose, using your whole body to inhale. Your lungs and abdomen will swell as they fill with air.

Do not stop suddenly. Inhale as much as you can until you can inhale no more.

2. When exhaling, slowly draw your abdomen inward until you can't draw it any further.

Then breathe in a circular pattern.

Try to expand and contract your abdomen 50-100 times.

3. The appropriate breathing rate is 4 to 6 times per minute, which means 4 inhalations and 4 exhalations, with each breath taking about 15 seconds.

Inhale and exhale slowly and smoothly.

Do not rush to complete a breath.

Remember to exhale more slowly than you inhale; this will help you lose weight.

4. During practice, do not move your shoulders up and down, relax your chest muscles, and focus your attention on feeling your breathing.

5. This exercise is most effective when practiced 10 minutes after waking up in the morning and 10 minutes before going to bed at night. The duration should be kept to around 10 minutes.

It's all because of constipation.

Looking at the annoying belly fat, I think about how I haven't been overeating and I usually pay attention to exercising, so why did this pesky fat still come knocking on my door?

Have you ever considered that this might be caused by constipation?

If too many toxins accumulate in the intestines, it can easily cause constipation.

There are many causes of constipation, including: prolonged sitting, insufficient water intake, poor bowel habits, overwork, mental stress, and an overly complex diet.

Solving constipation has naturally become an urgent issue for women who care about their appearance. Different methods should be used to deal with different causes of constipation.

1. Lack of dietary fiber

● Etiological analysis

Many working women are too lazy to cook at home after a busy day and habitually eat out.

This habit of frequently eating out, having irregular meals, and neglecting to maintain a balanced diet often leads to insufficient intake of dietary fiber, resulting in too little intestinal contents and insufficient volume to stimulate the brain's excretion center and trigger the defecation reflex.

● Solution

In terms of diet, pay attention to supplementing your diet with celery and root vegetables, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and lotus root.

In addition, whole wheat foods contain a lot of dietary fiber, which can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote digestion, and solve constipation problems.

II. Lack of beneficial bacteria in the gut

● Etiological analysis

Taking antibiotics or other medications can disrupt the beneficial bacteria in the gut, leading to indigestion and constipation.

● Solution

Consume more foods such as yogurt and honey to cultivate beneficial bacteria in the gut.

When we finish eating delicious food, we often sit or lie down comfortably, which causes a lot of fat to be stored in the abdomen or other areas prone to fat accumulation instead of being converted into heat.

Therefore, if you want to have a tiny waist, you must first control what you eat.
