Abdominal obesity is also known as the general's belly, in which a large amount of fat accumulates under the skin and internal organs, increasing the risk of disease. Studies have found that the thicker the waist circumference, the higher the risk of cancer, and it is also easy to cause cardiovascular disease and diabetes, so how to determine whether you are abdominal obesity?

How can you tell if you are obese?

A man's waist circumference of more than 9 cm and a woman's waist circumference of more than 0 cm are judged to be abdominal obesity. It can also be based on the waist-to-hip ratio, that is, the waist circumference divided by the value of hip circumference, if the male exceeds 0.0, the female exceeds 0.0, it is called abdominal obesity. Start by standing up and measuring with a non-elastic tape measure, which is attached to the skin but not sunk into the skin. Place a tape measure below the level of your belly button when measuring your waist circumference and wait for the end of your exhalation. Place the tape measure at the maximum circumference of the hips to get the hip circumference value.

How can I keep my body in shape?

1. Drink a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning

Drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach after waking up in the morning can not only warm the stomach, but also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, discharge toxins and garbage from the body, and avoid the accumulation of metabolic wastes in the fat cortex for a long time.

2. Mix food reasonably

Choose the right food according to your physique, stay away from high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and control your total daily calorie intake. In addition, people with a cold body should not eat cold food, so as not to break the metabolic balance and cause heat accumulation, resulting in fat accumulation in the abdomen and abdominal obesity. In addition, weight loss is not achieved overnight, in the long-term weight loss process, you need to take a balanced intake of nutrients, you can't blindly refuse fat, although you can lose weight, but it will bring harm to your own health.

3. Drink a glass of water or soup before eating

Drinking soup or water before eating can increase satiety and reduce the intake of staple foods. The water temperature is around 37°C to warm the stomach, help food digestion, increase basal metabolic rate, and eliminate toxins. But don't drink cold soup because the low temperature will lower the basal body temperature and slow down the metabolism.

4. Maintain moderate exercise

Studies have found that brisk walking consumes more calories, at least 60~0 minutes of brisk walking every day, but it is necessary to master the correct brisk walking posture, keep the upper body straight, tighten the waist and abdomen at all times, and follow the free swing of the arms to increase the range of movement.
