While most men's weak spot for persistent stubborn fat is the belly, women most often have problems with thigh fat. But each type of fat speaks about the health and eating habits of its owner.
It is not true that fat cannot be removed from problem parts, but for this it is necessary to discover the cause of its accumulation and determine the right training and nutrition, points out James Duigan, author of the world-famous Clean & Lean diet and personal trainer of several models. He says that the wrong foods, hormone imbalances, stress and toxins dictate where the fat will be stored.
Although the structure of the body is largely determined by genetics, the distribution of fat also says more about our health than we think, analyzes of numerous nutritional studies have shown.
Belly fat
Stomach is your problem area if it looks fat or bloated and if you didn't have a flat stomach even after losing a lot of weight, and with every weight gain, you first notice the new kilos on your stomach.
The cause of belly fat accumulation is most often stress, according to a Yale University study.
"Higher exposure to stress increases the activity of the hormone cortisol, and abdominal fat has more cortisol receptors than any other body fat," said Professor Elissa Epel, who led the study.
Also, they found that the second most common cause of belly fat accumulation is an imbalance of gut bacteria.
Solutions:
The good news is that you don't need to exercise excessively to get rid of belly fat, as intense aerobic exercise will boost cortisol production. Soothing exercises like long walks, yoga and pilates will 'attack' belly fat and reduce stress.
White bread, pasta, sweets, citrus fruits and alcohol bloat and feed intestinal bacteria, so eat them in small quantities.
Proteins such as chicken, fish, green vegetables, as well as vegetables rich in fiber such as potatoes, olives and beets slow down the absorption of sugar through the intestines and stimulate digestion.
Strong calves
If your calves are almost as wide as your thighs, you have trouble finding the right boots, you often suffer from insomnia and your legs feel heavy at times, your problem area is your calves. Swelling and heaviness in the calves are most often the result of insufficient leg rest, waking up in the middle of the night and insufficient amount of deep sleep.
Solutions:
In order to achieve a deeper sleep and get better quality sleep, avoid any form of carbohydrates and sugar three hours before going to bed. Caffeine from tea and coffee can cause water retention in the leaves, but it can also interfere with sleep. Drinking large amounts of fluids before bed is also not a good idea, and too much salt in the diet will also contribute to water retention.
Lack of B vitamins in the diet can also cause water retention in the leaves, so try to eat more fish, beef, nuts, yogurt and eggs that are rich in it.
Back fat
Fat that accumulates on the back is more common in women, who can notice it because of the straps cutting into the skin of the back. Also, people who are prone to back fat may also notice the accumulation of fat near the armpits. This type of fat accumulation means that the body has difficulty digesting carbohydrates.
Solution:
The maximum reduction of carbohydrates in the diet and the replacement of white bread with that of whole grains will help to reduce these fats. A good choice in the diet are all forms of cereals that are good to combine with yogurt.
"If you eat carbohydrates, they should be unrefined unrefined, and the diet should be based on vegetables," emphasizes nutritionist Jason Camm.
He explains that light and less intense back exercises with more repetitions have no effect on this type of fat, but short bursts of high intensity are better.
Grease on the hands
Accumulation of fat on the upper arms and flabby arms that you notice even with a very slight arm swing are indicators that your arms are a problem area. If you find it difficult to reduce the girth of your arms, and they are the first to notice weight gain, the likely cause of your problem is the accumulation of toxins in the body.
People who have higher amounts of bisphenol A in their bodies have a tendency to accumulate fat in their hands, according to a recent American study. Most bisphenol A enters the body through contact with plastic, and if you avoid plastic bottles in just three days, you will reduce the amount of bisphenol A in the body by about 77 percent, explains Camm.
Solution:
Use glass or other materials instead of plastic bottles and containers. An excellent solution for eliminating arm fat is Bikram yoga, which involves exercising in rooms with increased air humidity and temperature. It will speed up the sweating process, and thus the elimination of toxins. Targeted exercises such as reverse push-ups, ie. Triceps push-ups will increase circulation in the arms and reduce fat tissue volume.
Puffy cheeks
If you have a round face, chin and the first signs of weight gain appear on your face, the most likely cause is water retention. A frequent companion of fat on the face is fat on the neck, and the cause is excessive alcohol consumption.
Alcohol dehydrates the skin, and alcohol-related dehydration causes water retention in the facial area.
Solution:
Reduce your intake of alcoholic beverages and stimulate circulation in the area with gentle circular motions several times a day. Start from the nose and massage outwards in the direction of the ears.
"Such massages immediately improve the flow of lymph, which reduces bloating. Make the massage easier with a massage oil designed specifically for the face," advises reflexologist Paolo Lai.
Riding thighs
If you have a narrow waist and strong thighs, and you often buy clothes that are a smaller size for your upper body and a larger size for your lower body, then you have a classic pear-shaped body shape. Genetics is most responsible for this type of weight gain, and the advantage is that people with this body structure are less prone to heart disease.
Solution:
Avoiding soy products is the only thing you can change in your diet to reduce body fat.
Choose squats and lunges from the exercises as they will increase muscle tone which will make your thighs look narrower. Also, all types of aerobic exercises that increase the heart rate will help to melt excess fat, writes the Daily Mail.
