“Beer belly” is just simple fat!

While beer contains calories, it’s usually not enough on its own to directly cause belly fat accumulation.

The beer belly is caused by lifestyle and eating habits, which make the energy intake greater than the energy consumption, leading to “abdominal obesity”.

People who drink beer regularly often pair it with high-calorie foods, such as barbecue, fried chicken, French fries , etc., which makes them more likely to suffer from abdominal obesity.

In addition, the products of alcohol metabolism will delay fat burning, promote fat synthesis, and make fat more easily stored. Alcohol may also further aggravate abdominal fat accumulation by affecting hormone levels.

Genetics also play a role, with some people more likely to accumulate fat around their abdomens; bad lifestyle habits such as lack of exercise and prolonged sitting can also exacerbate the problem.

If you want to get rid of your beer belly, don’t follow the young people’s way of staying up late. Sufficient sleep is the key to getting rid of your beer belly.

Finally, the same old saying applies: control your mouth, move your legs, and return to the peak of your appearance in life💪.

Also, I suggest you suck in your belly and tighten your core whenever you want. Don’t ask why, just do it!
