Fatty belly can slightly increase the risk of death in people with heart disease

Excess adipose tissue around a male's mid-section.Image via Wikipedia
The largest of its kind, has been found that people with coronary artery disease who have even a modest beer belly or top muffin are more at risk of death for people whose fat collects in other locations. The effect was observed even in patients with a normal BMI (BMI). This analysis of the clinical results was published in the May 10 Edition, the magazine of the American College of Cardiology.

Researchers analyzed data from 15,923 people with CHD in five studies across the world. They found that those who have coronary heart disease and Central obesity, measured by the ratio of the circumference and hip size size, have twice the risk of death. It is equivalent to the risk of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and have a very high cholesterol levels, especially for men.

Results refute the paradox of obesity, a perplexing finding in many studies showing that a higher BMI and chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease patients have better chances of survival than people of normal weight.

Coutinho, MD, author "suspected the paradox of obesity was going on because the BMI is not a good measure of body fat and gives no information on the distribution of fat," said Thai major Studio and member of the clinic of Cardiology in May. "BMI is only a measure of weight in proportion to height".What appears to be the most important, this is how distributed the fat in the body.

Francisco Lopes Jimenez, MD, research project principal and Director of the cardiometabolic program at the clinic for may, explains why this type of fat may be more damaging: "visceral fat has proven to be more active metabolism." It produces changes more cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar in the blood. "However, people who are mainly elsewhere in fat in the body, specifically, the legs and buttocks, do not show this risk."

The researchers argue that physicians should inform patients of coronary artery disease who have a normal BMI to lose weight if you have a high waist circumference or size high-ratio hip. The measure is very easy to use, Dr. Coutinho, said: "enough is a minute for a doctor with a tape measure to measure the perimeter of the size and the hip of the patient."

Research topics have varied from studies in the United States (Rochester, Minnesota, and San Francisco, California), Denmark, France and Korea. The inclusion of the various ethnic groups makes the more applicable to the study of the real world, said Dr. Coutinho.

How Android to fight against pollution

Why keep renaming in bold? Generally, if someone as accumulated many visceral fat (biological term for adipose tissue surrounding the body internal and makes your belly larger ), then, this is called fatty belly, stomach, belly of beer in bold or in the form of an Apple.

However, not long ago this body shape was called Android fat distribution. When you read the first book of the University open on difficult obesity, the first thing that came to my mind was a mobile operating system of Google Android shortly after the Androids popularized by George Lucas in subsequent novels and films. He had never heard of its use in the description of the distribution of fat and muscles before. So, why has it been abandoned for "belly", "upside down" and "beer"?

It seems that in the past 50 years 4 things have elapsed which seem to be a paradoxical result:

Our understanding of obesity and its relationship with nutrition, activity, hormones and gender have made considerable progress.The language surrounding the problems of weight and obesity has been simplified so that the person can understand the concepts.The amount of information available on weight loss and specifically "lose belly fat" has increased considerably.People are even more bold.

We know how and why we take weight. This information has been shared in an easy to understand format: visceral fat, Central obesity and the distribution of fat android replaced by apple in the form and the fat belly. The methods necessary to reverse the increase in weight are also available in several formats, Web sites, e-books, real books, videos, and documentaries for television, pamphlets of health education in schools and Government. However, we have even more wholesale.

There is some good news. A recent report showed that the life expectancy in Europe has increased once again, while the rate of obesity continue to increase. In addition, the United States report suggests that obesity rates started level, in some places.

For a long time, it was said that education was all that was necessary to reverse the rising obesity rates. However, the facts appear to be a different story. Information in the world is not to prevent people from overeating. Why? What we, as individuals and Nations to do?

The reason for which, apparently, is partly environmental, at least in the field of the social and economic environment. We live in the world where human beings humans have needed work, which is the use of energy, to feed. Instead the food is literally delivered on a plate.

The fight against pollution

Combat environment is the term now used by nutritionists and health scientists to describe the disorder in which we find ourselves in. I have a term best, the fight against pollution.

Now, supermarkets have multistory car parks with treadmill and mechanical lift (one of my local supermarket truly has carpet racing and lifts, and about 20 steps from the entrance to the parking store). Some supermarkets offer products of grocery store (one of them even take your purchases in your kitchen for you). Impressions and fast food seems to be on the rise, with "cafes" to join the action.

There are more cars in the streets and bike and fewer people. Schools are often away from home, and when they are nearby, parents fear for the safety of his son who does not walk. More children distractions internal too who were rarely home. Most mothers work and that means less healthy home cooked meals and more dishes that are cooked and junk food. It is a form of pollution.

I call it pollution because it spreads out of control in the life of people. It causes the disease and causes health problems. This is a problem of human that can be reversed if there are changes in the way in which we live.

Conversely, this is not to change our way of thinking of food (i.e., educate people more), is to change the heart of today's society. We built a new world that each part of your life is easier, and it is turning against us. Instead of improving the quality of life, we make our lives poor, in terms of happiness, mental health and physical well-being. Our own pollution combat is slowly strangling visceral fat, choking the lungs and devouring our hearts. It is slowly killing us.

How can we change?

How to lose weight with diet only

No exercise required

Regular, combined with healthy exercise is the best way to lose weight, however, often people could not exercise such as regularly for various reasons. Therefore if you are not able to exercise, a healthy weight loss diet plan should be adopted to help you lose weight and then to control your weight.


How diet can lead to weight loss?

To lose weight the only thing that we need to do is to ensure that the daily caloric intake is lower than our daily caloric needs.


Why exercise is so important for losing weight?

Exercising it regularly makes it easier for four main reasons:


It increases the amount of calories you burn while you're exercising.


It increases your metabolism as your body creates new muscle tissue


It enables you to manage the appetite for the release of hormones that inhibit hunger


It uses glycogen reserves that triggers the hormone called glucagon from the burning of fat.


So if you can not exercise you are missing a great advantage when it comes to weight loss. However, it is still possible to lose weight.


How to lose the right type of weight?

Where things become more complex, it is to ensure that you would lose to the right type of weight. Everyone wondered "how to lose weight?", but the real question should be "how to lose body fat while maintaining lean muscle tissue."


Muscles are essential for good health. Not only do they make you stronger, they also help keep your metabolism high. Tissue muscle is very "hungry", carbohydrates and proteins for growth, repair and operate and need much more energy for adipose tissue. Another way to explain it is that the muscles are the engines of the body, fat cells are fuel storage tanks. When someone wants to lose weight, they really want to lose fat.


The problem of very low calorie diets

The problem is that when people try to lose weight with diet, they only usually dive into a low-calorie diet, or sometimes a diet very low in calories (referred) which is defined to be less than 1,000 calories per day. Often, these plans do not provide the body with enough protein to maintain muscle tissue and muscle atrophy occurs as well. The body breaks down simply due to our own muscle tissue to provide energy for the other parts of the body. There is also loss of fat, but not in isolation.


Some biology: the relationship of food, storage of fat and hormones

To understand why in this case, we need to explain a little about how the body stores fats then burn. Stakes are two hormones in the body that control the storage of FAT: insulin and glucagon. Both are enabled by changing glucose levels in blood (blood sugar).


When we eat carbohydrates, particularly high-GI carbohydrates such as bread, it increases the level of sugar in the blood. This increase triggers a release of insulin in the liver. The function of insulin is reduced blood glucose levels (long levels leads to health problems). To this end, to help the absorption of glucose in the storage of fat (adipose tissue). Glucose is actually transformed into glycerol and combined with fatty acids to tag (triacylglycerols) and this is what we call "bold".


So, in short, when we eat sweet foods our bodies release insulin which causes that the sugar is stored as fat.



Therefore, what are the causes that you burn fat?
When blood glucose levels fall, the liver releases glucagon. The role of this hormone is simply to inverse of the rate of sugar in the blood so insulin will rise again. Glucose is the main source of power of the brain which is our main body that controls the functions of all other parts of the body.


So primary target of glucagon ensures that the brain is supplied with sugar. This is accomplished by breaking the adipose tissue to extract the sugars in the tags (pause and fatty acids). This is what we call the burning of fat.


It is not easy to get the body to release glucagon well. You should rate sugar in the blood at very low levels. As soon one eats sugary foods, like some bread, pasta, vegetable like parsnips and squash, high breakfast cereals, processed rice, any junk food (cakes, cookies, Donuts), the blood sugar rises and glucagon production stops and takes insulin, so you pass a light of the situation to store fat.


This is why the unhealthy diets can therefore can lead to weight gain, most of what is healthy also is high on the Glycemic Index (high GI) which means causes spikes of sugar in blood, insulin and fat accumulation, thus limiting the high GI foods can help to lose weight with diet only.


The importance of proteins

Protein is important for two reasons:


Without enough daily wear early as blocked amino acid in muscle tissue protein muscles are used to help with the permanent repair of vital organs.Where is the digestion of proteins that the body releases another hormone, PYY, eliminating hunger.


This is another reason why very low calorie diets are bad, the people who consume less than 1000 calories per day to lose weight often consume enough protein, instead, only eat their favorite sugary snacks. The sugar regimen heavy not only causes fat store but also the absence of protein cause muscles from waste and reduces BMR (metabolism unit) which determines the amount of energy used to maintain the body at rest.
