Do you have a big belly dad?
Snezhana Soosh, a young female painter, shows the daily life of a big-bellied father and daughter through vivid watercolor paintings. The picture is bland and warm.
The father’s big belly is soft, warm and always so comfortable. His daughter’s whole body is buried in it, listening to the strong heartbeat, just like the drums of rock music.

We should not only show our omnipotent heroic image, but also make our daughter unhappy when she loses. We should also teach her that every step of life must be meaningful, and there is no second man in the world who will treat her unconditionally.

The daughter rode on her father’s broad, thick and high shoulders. She was at the top of the world and sat on the whole universe.

This is how dad protects his children with his whole body and life.
But as he gets older, his father’s soft belly, like Winnie the Pooh, is too big to turn hula hoop. Abdominal obesity has become one of the main killers of his father’s health.
Only when he is healthy can he protect his beloved daughter and family for a longer time. Therefore, it is also time to change the grown-up children to protect his father’s health!
Follow Dr. Clove to learn how to prevent abdominal obesity. On the upcoming Father’s Day on August 8, give your dear father a health gift.
Abdominal obesity, high lethality
Abdominal obesity is the brother of many diseases. Compared with systemic obesity, abdominal obesity is more destructive to health.
1. Fatty liver
Excessive visceral fat can easily cause fatty liver, aggravate insulin insensitivity and lead to further blood sugar abnormalities.
Step 2: Inducing Diabetes Mellitus
Obesity itself will confront the insulin secreted in the body, making the body insensitive to insulin and unable to play a normal hypoglycemic role, thus causing type 2 diabetes. The risk of diabetes in systemic obesity is 3.7 times higher than that in normal population, while that in abdominal obesity is 10.3 times.
3. Causing hyperlipidemia
Abdominal obesity can easily cause abnormal secretion of endocrine hormones, resulting in easier decomposition of visceral fat and increased fat content in blood, resulting in hyperlipidemia.
4. Atherosclerosis
Glucose and lipid metabolism disorders will accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis. Arterial blood vessels are no longer elastic and unimpeded. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction are also quietly coming.
5. Affect heart function
Abdominal obesity also affects the structure and function of the heart. The cardiac cavity of abdominal obesity is enlarged and the diastolic function of the heart is reduced more obviously than that of overweight.
6. Inducing gout
In addition, the increase of blood uric acid is also closely related to the increase of visceral fat, which is easy to induce gout.
How to determine whether it is abdominal obesity?
The typical feature of abdominal obesity is large belly, also commonly known as beer belly and general belly. Most of them are apple-shaped, with waist circumference larger than hip circumference and thin limbs. The waist circumference is mainly measured to determine whether it is abdominal obesity.
So, how to accurately measure waist circumference?
There are many methods, and a better one is recommended:
1. The measured person’s body is upright, his arms are naturally drooping, he breathes smoothly, he does not tuck in his abdomen or hold his breath, his feet are separated by about 30 ~ 40 cm, he is as wide as his shoulders, his abdomen is relaxed, and his abdominal skin is exposed;
2. The measuring person can use an inelastic tape measure, with the lower edge of the scale about 1 cm above the navel and horizontally surrounding it for 1 week.
3. When measuring, the tape measure should be close to the skin, but it should also avoid being pressed too tightly to cause the tape measure to fall into the skin. The surveyor’s eyes are on the same horizontal plane as the tape measure scale, and record the reading.
The latest standard for defining abdominal obesity in China is: waist circumference ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 85 cm for women.
