In MBC’s ‘Docu Prime’, which will be broadcast on the 12th, you will have time to learn regarding ‘tummy fat’, which is an indicator of middle-aged health.
– Visceral fat The older you get, the more careful you are?
When you get older and your belly starts to appear, there are not just one or two places where you feel pain. Belly fat as an indicator of middle-aged health. This is why you should pay attention to the waist circumference rather than the weight. In Korea, a waist circumference of 90 cm for men and 85 cm for women is diagnosed as abdominal obesity. If this is the case, the warning light may already be on.
Abdominal obesity is dangerous because of the visceral fat. Visceral fat sandwiched between organs releases various inflammatory substances, causing fatal diseases in our body. The problem is that as you get older, your muscle mass decreases and your basal metabolic rate decreases, resulting in an increase in visceral fat. In particular, middle-aged women should be more careful. This is because following menopause, the female hormone estrogen, which prevents the accumulation of visceral fat, decreases, and visceral fat increases rapidly.
– Did you lose belly fat by reducing inflammation?
Jang Yong-suk (46 years old) has changed her waist from 42 inches to 26 inches in just one year. She didn’t want to be thin, but she got slim on her own, so what the hell happened?
Jang Yong-sook (46 years old), who was in danger of orthognathic surgery due to a recurrence of eye cancer that had been treated 7 years ago. The recurrence of eye cancer, which she thought had been cured, was closely related to her increased visceral fat. At the recommendation of a doctor that she urgently needed to manage her visceral fat, she combined exercise and diet to lose 29 kg and lowered her visceral fat level from 17 to 6. Thanks to this, Mr. Zhang was able to overcome the crisis of her enucleation. She only recovered her health by improving ‘her inflammation’, but what is her own healthy diet secret that she has lost her ‘tummy fat’?
– Belly fat that doesn’t go away even with exercise, the answer lies in eating well?
Belly dance 14 years, yoga 10 years, hula dance 17 years. Park Shin-ja (62 years old), a self-proclaimed sports enthusiast. He has been exercising steadily up to now, several times a day, but he has not lost any weight. Yoon In-suk, 64, and Han Mi-yeon, 51, with her skinny body and a convex stomach, said that she never got sick because she mightn’t stop eating sweets while taking diabetes medication. What they had in common was visceral fat, which increased rapidly following menopause. As estrogen, the female hormone, decreases, women’s waist and visceral obesity rates rise sharply. Accordingly, various inflammatory diseases also increase. Patients with severe visceral obesity had high insulin resistance in common. Insulin resistance, when the body’s energy source, sugar, is not properly consumed, leads to rapid obesity.
– The secret of lactoferrin in colostrum that influences lifelong health
Akemi Arai (54 years old) is a mother and daughter living in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Her boxing mother and daughter suffered from high blood sugar levels and severe obesity six years ago. Her root cause was that she only enjoyed the food. Since then, her wife and daughter have opted for a healthy diet centered on vegetables called Nozawa Nara, a local specialty. She also took daily lactoferrin, a natural substance derived from colostrum of her mother’s cow. The results were surprising. Her daughter has lost 16 kg and is still doing well without her yo-yo phenomenon. Lactoferrin inhibits bacteria and viruses by adsorbing iron. This reduces inflammation in the body. It also inhibits the production of fat cells and reduces obesity. Find out what lactoferrin is and how lactoferrin can help with belly fat and visceral obesity.
