Doctors call fat on the belly the smart word “visceral” – this, by the way, is a particularly threatening type of fat that lies deep under the muscle tissue in the abdominal cavity and surrounds the organs in it. Women are more fortunate: their excess begins to be deposited on the hips, and we, the unfortunate, immediately go to the stomach.
Here are four reasons for you to lose the ill-starred belly.
1. Heart
Measure your waist. Not a man’s business, of course, but one time it is possible. Try not to over tighten too much. If the volume is more than one meter, this is an alarm bell: you are at risk. Surely you have high cholesterol in your blood, high blood pressure, and you are slowly but surely approaching diabetes. Visceral fat is associated with insulin resistance (that is, the body’s inability to use insulin to convert food into energy). In addition, visceral fat is evidence of a high content of triglycerides in the body – a dangerous fat that is in your blood. Excess visceral fat is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke.
2. Bones
The bigger the belly of men, the weaker their bones – the results of research at Harvard University show. The study was conducted among men aged 34 years, it included a strength analysis of the bones of the hands and its dependence on the size of the abdomen. It turned out that body mass index and age do not affect the strength of the bones, but the fat on the abdomen still affects. The more visceral fat a man has, the more fragile his bones are. The opposite is also true: the higher the muscle mass, the stronger the bones.
3. Joints and back
Knees weak back hurts? Being overweight in front of your body puts additional pressure on your back and over stresses it, causing pain. Even an extra half a kilogram on your stomach when walking is equivalent to two extra pounds, judging by how weight puts pressure on the knee joints – think about it, every step is harder for you! How do you like this news? Having lost some ridiculous five kilograms, you halve your risk of getting arthritis of the knee joint.
4. Sex
Do not let the belly stand between you and your woman! Excess weight hampers blood flow to the penis and increases the likelihood of erectile dysfunction. Big belly reduces testosterone levels. It is produced in the testicles, and is destroyed in adipose tissue – in this case, inside your fat on the belly. The bigger the belly, the lower the testosterone level.

The most common reasons for infidelity between couples are infidelity and lack of trust. In an age without cell phones or the internet, issues of distrust and disloyalty were less of an issue than they are today.
