“Slurp as soon as the food comes out! “It’s a Shortcut to Abdominal Obesity”: ZUM News

Mr Choi, in his 40s, raised his concerns by saying that he was eating faster than before and that his stomach had become warmer.

Eating fast is a shortcut to abdominal obesity. Sonbodri 365mc branch representative Yeongdeungpo said, “Eating quickly and in a hurry is what causes stomach upset.”

He explained, “In general, it takes about 20 minutes for the brain to recognize satiety,” and “Eating food quickly can lead to overeating by consuming more calories than necessary.” At the same time, he warned, “Koreans tend to eat rice and side dishes together quickly, which puts pressure on digestion and can especially accumulate neutral fat. “

Neutral fat is created during the process of breaking down and digesting carbohydrates and fats in food. In particular, excess calories consumed through overeating are converted into neutral fat and stored in the body. Most body fat is neutral fat.

Director Sonbodri said, “When neutral fat accumulates too much, the amount of fat in the body increases, leading to abdominal obesity,” and “It increases the risk of several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.”

It is more difficult if neutral fat is stored in the form of visceral fat between organs rather than subcutaneous fat (under the skin). Visceral fat travels through the blood and has a negative effect on the liver, heart and brain. If you are thin but have a bulging belly, it is likely that you have accumulated visceral fat.

Research results have also shown that high levels of visceral fat increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Last year, a research team at the University of Washington found that the thicker the visceral fat compared to subcutaneous fat, the higher the risk of brain inflammation.

To prevent the accumulation of neutral fat, the priority is to reduce overeating or overeating. Director Mac said, “Just the habit of eating slowly and chewing your food thoroughly can help prevent abdominal obesity. ” “Very well,” he suggested.

Refined carbohydrates such as white rice, bread, and sugary drinks are considered the main source of neutral fat. If you eat too much fructose, your liver turns it into neutral fat. On the other hand, foods rich in dietary fiber have the effect of increasing satiety and preventing a rise in blood sugar after a meal.

Alcohol also causes an increase in triglyceride levels. Director Son stressed, “People who drink alcohol frequently should reduce their alcohol intake,” and “It is also important to avoid overeating through regular meals.”

According to the Korean Obesity Association, abdominal obesity occurs when the waist circumference of an adult male exceeds 90 cm and the waist circumference of an adult female exceeds 85 cm. Reporter Yook Sung-yeon
