Abdominal Fat

Excess abdominal fat is a condition that plagues many men.  While women tend to accumulate fat in their hips, buttocks, and thighs, men tend to accumulate abdominal fat.  Although the reasons for this difference are not entirely known, there is evidence that abdominal fat has more than cosmetic disadvantages.

The fat which accumulates on the hips, thighs, and buttocks is not generally dangerous to one’s health.  Abdominal fat, on the other hand, has been implicated in heart disease, diabetes, and other problems.  Recent studies suggest that abdominal fat is more likely to trigger glucose production in the liver and lead to abnormal glucose metabolism.  Specifically, fatty acids from abdominal fat are more likely to be released into the blood and travel directly to the liver, where glucose is produced.  An overabundance of fatty acids from this area may stimulate the liver to overproduce glucose.  Over time, high glucose levels can lead to insulin resistance, which often precedes the onset of type 2 diabetes.  Excess abdominal fat is also thought to increase electrical instability in the heart muscle which, in turn, could raise the risk of heart problems.

There is no way to reduce specific areas of fat.  The way to burn off abdominal fat is through aerobic exercise, which burns lots of calories; resistance exercise or weight lifting, which builds muscle (muscle is the engine that burns calories and maintains metabolic rate); and limiting excessive caloric intake.
