Causes for Tummy Fat

Some of the Known and Unkown Causes of Tummy Fat

Many people would assume that exercise is a more predomanant factor in getting a flat stomach, but it is just a secondary factor. Doing the right kind of exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles and therfore keep your stomach tighter and more supported in an upright position. In other words, it makes you look better. But simply doing crunches over and over again will make your stomach protrude farther out which is a bad thing if you still have all of the fat. But there are several other factors that will cause tummy fat, lets take a look at some: Why Tummy Fat Over Eating Let's face it, we all know the primary cause of tummy fat. We try to ignore it, we try to give excuses, we try and hope to find an easier answer! But the most basic cause of excess stomach fat and being overweight is.....Over Eating!! Yes it's true. If you eat more than your body is able to keep up with, that excess fat will be stored on your body, primarily your stomach. You know that you often get hungry right before bed, so you have the classic "midnight snack". This is a major cause of tummy fat. Much of weight control is not only how much you eat, but when you eat it! You want your food to have a chance to fully digest before you retire for the evening. Recent studies have shown that you actually burn most of your fat while you sleep! Which is why you are lighter when you awake. So the more you give it to burn before you sleep, the less of an impact that precious weight loss time will have.

Slow Metabolism When we are young, our metabolism is fast and furious. but as we get age, our metabolism tends to slow down. That means you don’t burn calories as fast as you did when you were younger.
