Belly Fats

Belly fats can occur even among women who are slim in all other areas. They are likely to have been teased by friends about their “pot belly” or “beer belly”, or even mistaken for being pregnant on the various forms of public transport. While the common complaints among other females are their weight, big thighs, love handles and imperfect legs, women with belly fats usually complain about the “forever-there” fats around their belly area.

The main cause of belly fats is due to the consumption of more calories than the body is able to burn off. Other causes include pregnancy and menopause. During pregnancy, the skin around the belly area is stretched and the muscles that are separated begin to sag. Fat present in the belly area then becomes more prominent. Menopause also causes belly fats due to weight gain from dropping estrogen levels, and the excess weight resides at the belly area.

Women with belly fats tend to feel self-conscious about their bodies, and wear loose clothings to conceal their tummies. They avoid going swimming, as they are worried about people staring at their bulging bellies. This causes them to have low self-confidence, and affect their daily lives by restricting their activities. In addition, belly fats are also closely associated with heart diseases.
