More fat gets accumulates around the stomach than in other parts of the body. Belly fat not only affects the appearance, but it can also be a sign of danger to health. There can be many reasons for abdominal obesity, ranging from genetic factors to unhealthy lifestyles. Hormonal changes can also be the cause of abdominal obesity.

According to dieticians, hormonal imbalance is a major reason for belly fat. Hormonal changes occur during menopause in women, due to which fat starts increasing around the belly. In men too, as the testosterone level decreases, belly fat starts increasing. Increasing the level of stress hormone cortisol also accelerates the process of fat accumulation around the belly.

– Obesity starts accumulating in the stomach due to genetic factors. If someone in your family has obesity in the stomach, then there is a high possibility that you will also face the same problem. The distribution of fat in the body is controlled by genes, which decide where the fat will accumulate in the body. If someone in the family has increased belly fat, then it can be a risk factor for you too.

– Unhealthy diet and high-calorie intake can lead to belly fat. When we eat high-calorie foods, extra calories get stored in the body, which turns into fat around the belly. A diet rich in processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and sugar is responsible for increasing belly fat. In this condition, belly calories cannot be burnt.

– Lack of physical activity is a major reason for the accumulation of fatinn the stomach. In today's lifestyle, most people work sitting in one place for 9-10 hours and do almost no physical activity. This makes it difficult to burn the extra calories accumulated in the body and these calories turn into fat around the stomach. Due to less activity, metabolism slows down, and belly fat increases.

– Stress and lack of sleep are also responsible for increasing belly fat. When we are stressed, the level of cortisol in the body increases, which works to store fat around the stomach. Lack of sleephurtsn metabolism and the body is prompted to store more fat. Both stress and lack of sleep together become the main reasons for increasing belly fat.
