It makes people laugh and cry, I didn't realize that this small habit has become a stumbling block in our pursuit of a perfect body. Every time you stand in front of the mirror, looking at the stubborn belly fat, your heart is always full of helplessness and confusion. already control your diet, and adhere to exercise, but the meat on your stomach always refuses to leave. The scientific journal Addiction recently uncovered a shocking secret, just like a detective unravelling a crime scene. It turns out that whether you've just started trying to smoke or you've been smoking for a long time, you may be letting fat quietly build up on your belly, especially the kind of visceral fat that's deeply hidden.
The body of a smoker is like an elaborate network of spies, seemingly light and flexible on the outside, but with hidden secrets on the inside. They may weigh less than non-smokers, but their abdominal organs are like a "secret storehouse" of fat. This visceral fat is like a group of cunning spies, lurking silently in the depths of the body, difficult to be detected by the outside world. However, these "spies" pose great health risks. They are closely linked to the risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and dementia, and are like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any time. Doesn't it sound scary that although some people appear to have a flat stomach on the outside, visceral fat may have crept up?
The brilliant minds at the University of Copenhagen played detective this time. Using a particularly powerful method called Mendelian randomization (which sounds as mysterious as a magic spell), they looked at 1.2 million people who had just started smoking and more than 450,000 who had smoked all their lives. Not only that, they also studied the distribution of the "belly meat" of more than 600,000 people, combined with the results of genetic research, as if to find a key to unlock the truth, to determine the secret relationship between smoking and belly meat. It turns out, from the ratio of waist and buttocks can be seen, whether you just started smoking or smoked all your life old smoker, may make the belly meat more and more. Even more amazingly, they found that all that extra meat on the stomachs of smokers was mostly visceral fat hidden inside the body, not the kind under the skin.
It seems that smoking this little devil is everywhere to make trouble for us ah. No wonder some girls try hard to lose weight, obviously the weight has been very light, the stomach but there is still fat, it turned out to be smoking blocked to have a small waist. We all know that there are too many bad things about smoking, but I did not realize that there is now a new bad thing, it seems that if you are focusing on maintaining a slim figure, you can try to quit smoking. For those who focus on their figure, this is certainly a heavy blow. You have worked hard to lose weight, and the weight has come down, but the belly fat is still stubbornly there. This feeling is like when you are about to achieve victory on the battlefield, a powerful enemy suddenly appears, making people feel helpless.
Who doesn't want to have a slim waist? That's the ultimate dream of every girl! However, this little demon is like a stubborn "blocking tiger", always in our pursuit of perfection on the road to jump out to play havoc. But that's okay! We are smart girls, how can we be defeated by this little difficulty? We have to be brave and say "no" to smoking, and we have to use our perseverance and determination to get rid of this "roadblock" and make our tummies flat again.
Therefore, friends who want to thin your waist, if you happen to have the bad habit of smoking, then try to quit smoking, I believe that when you succeed in quitting smoking, you will find that the original small waist, more than any piece of clothing to come to more dazzling and charming.
