As we grow older, we are more likely to add some extra pounds around the belly. This can be
due to a number of reasons, such as belly fat hormone imbalance, inflammation, metabolic
changes and more. In order to achieve a slimmer waistline, it is therefore important to
understand why exactly we experience stubborn belly fat to begin with.
While there are a number of different things you can do to reduce belly fat, let us start by
examining some of the most common reasons below. This way it becomes easier to identify the
methods and techniques that are most likely to yield positive results. These targeted weight loss solutions can help reduce belly fat more effectively than generic plans.
Our hormones can have a large impact on fat storage in our bodies. This is especially true once
we get older, as hormonal fluctuations becomes more frequent and are directly linked to
increased belly fat.
Hormonal imbalances and belly fat are often addressed effectively through hormone replacement therapy, especially as levels shift with age.
There are a number of different hormones involved, such as cortisol that is typically released as
a response to high stress levels. Insulin which helps our bodies regulate blood sugar levels can
also promote fat storage.
Women who approach the age of menopause will typically experience a decline in estrogen
levels naturally produced by the body, which can lead to a redistribution of fat, often causing
more belly fat. And both men and women typically experience a decline in testosterone as they
age, which is also a known cause of belly fat.
Inflammation and weight gain are often linked together, as chronic low-grade inflammation is
one of the main contributors of extra belly fat. Not only can this lead to a larger waistline, but this
type of fat also produces certain chemicals that can contribute to insulin resistance, heart
disease and a range of other health issues.
Therefore it is important to figure out whether the extra pounds of belly fat is caused by
inflammation or something else, as it can be more important to deal with visceral fat compared
to other types.
Addressing internal inflammation with integrative options like IV therapy may improve outcomes.
Another common contributor of belly fat is our metabolism, which generally slows down over
time as we age. This slower process makes it more difficult for the body to burn excess calories,
which ultimately leads to weight gain all over, but especially around the belly.
We often lose muscle mass as we age, which has a negative impact on the number of calories
our bodies burn, as muscles burn more calories than fat weight for weight. Coupled with a
tendency for less physical activity, as we are often more sedentary as we age, this creates the
perfect condition for extra belly fat.
In recent years there has been an increased attention on visceral fat treatment in Radcliff / New
Albany, as it is an effective way of managing stubborn belly fat, especially when compared with
a healthy diet and a more active lifestyle.
But even on its own, this treatment can significantly reduce the unwanted weight we tend to
experience as we age, not only improving our body image but also resulting in better health due
to a reduced risk of diseases that are caused by weight gain.
