Male friends generally gain weight in middle age. Some men do not have normal weight gain, and their waist circumference is getting thicker and thicker. What are the reasons why male friends have thicker waistlines? Let's take a closer look.
1. The core factor of waist circumference thickening is excess energy in the body, which can be caused by: overeating; Fewer activities; Or both.
2. Epidemiological data show that with the improvement of living conditions, people's energy intake is increasing. In the minds of many people, high energy foods, including fatty meat, fats, hard nuts, fried foods, chocolate, cream foods, etc., are often synonymous with "high nutrition"; In addition, the frequency of dining out has greatly increased, while enjoying various advanced cooking skills, more oil and sugar quietly enter the body, creating a wider and thicker waist fat pad.
3. In addition, daily eating habits and meal times also have an impact on waist circumference gain. According to research, because the excitability of the vagus nerve and insulin secretion are higher at night than during the day, coupled with less physical activity after dinner, which is more conducive to the accumulation of fat, in real life, people who schedule a very rich dinner and overeat are more likely to gain weight and have a "long waist" than the average person. In addition, people who consume the same amount of energy every day but have fewer meals are more likely to have a thicker waist than those who eat more. This is because increasing the number of meals can not only reduce fat accumulation, but also have better control over appetite.
4. In addition, different dietary composition can not only affect the digestion and absorption of food, but also have different effects due to different food components and sources, resulting in adverse effects on waist circumference. If some men's waist circumference begins to increase significantly after marriage, it may be related to changes in dietary habits and dietary composition.
