0 Ideal Body Weight is not Everything

Every day the number of people who experience weight gain growing. Even this figure beats the number of people who successfully lose weight.

The World Health Organization (WHO) explained that obesity has become a global epidemic and more than 1 billion adults worldwide are overweight and 300 million people worldwide are obese.

This is definitely not a small numbers. Given the obesity and overweight is a risk factor increasing deadly diseases such as heart disease and stroke. Ironically, not all obese people understand this.

Standard BMI figures could not be the size that you are in the 'numbers' a healthy. If you are still buried waist fat, you are still at risk of developing the disease.

The results have shown that by increasing muscle mass, especially in the abdominal region and beyond, can reduce the risk of death. The higher the muscle mass the less room for fat stored.

This fact is enough for many people realize that we can not rely on the ideal weight for predicting the level of health, but also have to consider how much percentage of fat stored in our bodies.

Fat in the abdomen or commonly referred to as central obesity is fat concentrated in the abdomen which is a causal risk factor for metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.

Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance happens when your cells become less sensitive to insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that are responsible for obtaining sugar from the blood. High levels of insulin and glucose in the blood strongly correlated with the level of fat you store in your stomach.

This means that the sugar in your blood can increase your stomach fat. This is why central obesity is considered as one of the highest risk factors for diabetes in conjunction with insulin and glucose function. From this fact you will also be able to determine an appropriate strategy to reduce the fat in your belly, and get a more beautiful belly shape.

Glycemic Index

If you are careful, you will immediately think to pay attention to GI (Glycemic Index) of foods you consume. Reduced fat means you have to lower the GI value in the body by eating low GI food areas. This in turn will control blood sugar and decrease of certain hormones that inhibit fat loss.

Reducing high GI food to be quite reasonable steps to reduce the overall fat deposits. This is why low-carb diets are still advised if you want to get fat-free muscle mass.

A diet high in fiber, protein and healthy fats, and eating more often can help the body control blood sugar. Even the studies say, by eating 1g of acetic acid (vinegar) can lower blood sugar levels in foods consumed by 31.6 percent.

Exercises for Body Insulin Function

Exercise can increase the rate of absorption of glucose into the muscle. This is what can speed up your body in getting rid of fat. Training method you choose also have different effects on insulin sensitivity. Rest in a shorter, higher intensity exercise and exercise combined is the strategy that you should employ to stimulate insulin sensitivity and maximize the utilization of glucose into energy.

As a result, your body will get used to using insulin and use glucose for energy without hoard into fat.

Well, now you already know that a healthy weight is not size that determines how healthy your body. However, you also need to pay attention to how much percentage of fat in your body.
