Jakarta, Scandi-id.com - there is a disease that appears from the stomach of a potbelly. So, what's the danger of a potty belly?
Research has shown that bringing visceral fat around the stomach increases the risk of some serious health complaints.
Experts show that too much visceral fat around the stomach can pose significant risk to health. Here are six conditions associated with fat on a fat belly.
- Diabetes
There's always a close relationship between too much fat around the stomach and the risk of type 2 diabetes. One of the reasons maybe because visceral fat produces cytokines, which is a dangerous immune system of chemicals that can make cells less sensitive to insulin effects regulating blood sugar. - High blood pressure.
Sitokin produced by visceral fat not only affects insulin levels, but can also affect cell ability to regulate blood pressure.
According to a study, it was discovered that only five percent of the weight increase can increase the risk of high blood pressure by 34 percent for men and 28 percent for women, quoting Live Strong.
- Heart attack
Generally, having too much fat in the body can increase the risk of a heart attack. But stomach fat is probably very dangerous because it pumps out fat acid that signals the liver to produce more evil cholesterol and less good cholesterol.
A study found that adults who carry more weight around the middle of the body are more likely to have a heart attack than those who weigh higher overall.
- Dementia
Too much fat in the stomach can also affect the brain's function. A study found that the waist circumference is greater than 35 inches for men and 33 inches for women is associated with the risk of much higher dementia, regardless of things like ages, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, liver health or other lifestyle factors. It could be the visceral fat ability to increase inflammation throughout the body, according to researchers. - Asthma
Some studies have found a connection between the size of a large stomach and the risk of asthma, even in people who have normal weight as a whole. Having more fat in the abdominal cavity can make it difficult for the lungs to pick up the oxygen necessary. - Cancer
Research has connected people who have too much stomach fat with greater risk to certain cancers. Studies find that women who circle their waist equal to their hips four times more likely to have breast cancer than women with smaller waist.
Other studies find that too much stomach fat can double the risk of cholectal cancer.
