With disturbing statistics indicating that obese men are more likely to die from the Corona virus, Dr. Michael Mosley, a health expert, offers us his advice to beat bloating.
Now, more than ever, we need to change our food and health habits to boost the immune system that is critically important to preventing the emerging coronavirus.
“Masrawy” reviews 3 ways to get rid of belly fat and reduce the risk of death with the Corona virus, according to the British “Mirror” newspaper.
Frightening statistics revealed that men are twice more likely to die from the Corona virus than women, and that obesity increases this risk.
Corona attacks vital organs, specifically the lungs, and as you gain weight, your lung capacity decreases, but why are men worse off?
Dr. Michael Mosley explains that men do not care about their health, unlike women who strive to be fit and in shape, and therefore they are more likely to develop diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
Dr. Mosley, the creator of The Fast 800, tells us how to get an ideal weight.
One of the main challenges as we age is that our metabolism slows down, men gain an average of about 0.5 kg per year between 40 and 60, and the ratio of waist to height is a useful indicator of health, and ideally, your waist circumference should be at most half Your height, hold a piece of string as long as you are long, fold it in the middle to see if it fits your waistline, if not, then don’t worry, but an increased waist circumference could indicate an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
Target belly fat
Even the thinnest men suffer from belly fat, which is one of the most dangerous places to store fat, and there are 3 ways to get rid of it, and avoid the risk of death or infection with the Corona virus.
1- Lower sugar, simple carbohydrates, and more protein
To have a serious effect on belly fat, eliminating high blood sugar is key, when people avoid carbohydrates, their appetite decreases and they lose weight.
Not all carbohydrates are the same, there are the good and the bad, the trick is not to stop eating them completely, but to choose the foods you eat regularly, it is best to eat white bread, white pasta, potatoes and sugars, but very in moderation.
You can eat carbohydrates that contain a lot of fiber, which feed the “good” bacteria that live in your gut.
Examples include vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, such as barley, oats, and whole grains.You should limit your intake of any food or drink that contains more than 5% sugar to no more than twice a week, and this includes sweet fruits such as mangoes, pineapple, and sugary juices.
2- Intermittent fasting
The belief that fasting slows down your metabolism is just a myth, when you eat fewer calories than you burn, you create a calorie deficit, also called an energy deficit, you must create a calorie deficit to lose weight.
Eating 800 calories a day or less not only helps you lose weight because you eat fewer calories, but your body responds to the stress of fasting by producing more of the hormone noradrenaline, which is known to burn fat.
Short-term fasting can lead to changes in the body that make burning fat easier, and they include decreased insulin, increased growth hormone, increased adrenaline, and a small increase in metabolism.
Simply make sure that you are not consuming any calories for at least 12 hours every 24 hours. Some people prefer to shorten their eating period to 10 or 8 hours.
3- The “wheel” exercise or HIIT
Exercise is among the best things you can do for a long and healthy life. My doctor recommends just 10 minutes on a stationary bike three times a week, as well as quick strengthening exercises, which don’t require special equipment.
In case you haven’t previously tried HIIT (high-intensity interval training), it includes a few very short batches of exercises performed in a row.
If you do not have an exercise bike, you can try riding a road bike, climbing up the stairs, or taking short rides when out for a run, just increase the pace of walking until you can hardly breathe.
The main thing is that these vigorous exercises should be short (30 seconds maximum when it comes to stairs or running), as long as they are tough enough to raise your heart rate.
