What's with "beer belly"? Is it really the reason for drinking beer?

In the hot summer, nothing is more pleasant than beer string, if there is, that is, another cupHowever, folk have always said that drinking beer will make people fat, resulting in beer bellyDoes drinking beer make people fat? Is the "beer belly" really caused by drinking beer? what's going on with"beer belly"?we often refer to middle-aged men who are urinating on their stomachs as "beer belly", in large part because these middle-aged men need to be paid and often drink beerNot only Chinese say so, but also called it abroadOver time, the charge of men getting fat and their stomachs getting bigger has been added to beerMoreover, with the development of society, beer belly has become more and more youngin fact, belly size is the common name of abdominal obesity, this obesity is the accumulation of fat in the internal organs, its main reason is obesityObesity is mainly related to energy intake and consumption, if energy intake is greater than energy consumption, it will lead to obesity, fat is easy to accumulate in these places in the stomachbeer really is the culprit of the beer belly? The underlying cause ofbeer belly is obesity, which is associated with energy balanceSo, to say that the culprit is beer is too wrong itfirst of all, beer itself is not a high-energy foodgenerally speaking, 100ml beer usually has only 30-40 calories, while 100ml of two pots (56 degrees) has 338 calories; From these data, it shows that beer does not have more energy than other common beverages, and it is not very high in alcoholsecond, alcohol metabolism is not stored as energy in the bodyalcohol is metabolized in the same way as the three main energy-supply substances (protein, fat and carbohydrate) we usually eat, and it is rarely stored as energy in the body obesity is also related to people's daily diet If the total energy intake is not high, the energy consumption is large, will not lead to obesity and fat accumulation in the abdomen Beer is only a source of energy for the whole diet, and if the total energy intake is not much, it will not lead to abdominal obesity Therefore, to say that beer is the "beer belly" of the culprit is a bit wronged it , however, does beer actually cause abdominal obesity? Scientists have also done a lot of research and exploration But the results are not consistent Some studies suggest that beer promotes "beer belly", but some do not in 2013, researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark conducted a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of studies on beer, obesity and abdominal obesity published in 2010, and after excluding problematic studies, analyzed 35 observational studies and 12 experimental studies, and found that there was not enough evidence to show that drinking no more than 500 ml of beer per day was directly related to abdominal obesity, but that drinking more than that amount of beer may be associated with abdominal obesity so, at the moment, it's hard to say that beer is the cause of the "beer belly"; if you drink beer at the same time, the same big mouth string, big mouth to eat, and do not exercise, want not fat it is more difficult can rest assured of a beer string? although a small amount of beer does n'etre doesn't necessarily lead to a beer belly But that doesn't mean you can have a drink In fact, drinking a lot of beer is not good for your health first of all, drinking more beer will make it easier for you to gain weight beer has low energy, but it still contains energy ethanol in wine can be converted into acetic acid and into the trianate cycle into the energy available to cells - ATP Although the efficiency of alcohol in the body into energy is not high, but after all, the accumulation of more than, also can not be ignored alcohol can reduce the body's fat metabolism our bodies can't store alcohol, alcohol can be consumed quickly The rate at which people consume fat decreases significantly after drinking alcohol, because the body first metabolizes alcohol energy Just as you have a lot of things on hand to deal with (consuming fat), this time, suddenly someone gives you an urgent matter that must be dealt with as soon as possible (drinking), you have to deal with the emergency before you can deal with the other things at hand Studies have found that the metabolic rate of body fat after two glasses of vodka is reduced by 70 percent The amount of fat consumed is not consumed, which increases the amount of fat stored drinking also increases appetite and makes people eat more food unknowingly beer string, the higher the wine drink, the more the string will be, in fact, after drinking the appetite increased The study found that people who drink more when they eat are more likely to gain weight second, drinking heavily also increases the risk of various chronic diseases, putting health risks a large number of studies have found that even a small amount of alcohol increases the risk of diseases such as cirrhosis and cancer For example, studies have found that even small amounts of alcohol (no more than 25 grams of alcohol per day) increase the risk of the disease, including an 86 percent increased risk of oral and pharynx cancer, a 39 percent increased risk of esophageal cancer, a 43 percent increased risk of larynx cancer, a 25 percent increase disputiance of breast cancer, a 43 percent increase in the risk of primary hypertension, a 1.9-fold increase in the risk of cirrhosis, and a 34 percent increase in the risk of alcohol consumption so, even if drinking beer won't let you grow a beer belly, but don't open up to drink! how do idrink? drinking more is bad for your health, how can you control it? It is recommended that if you never drink, it is best to keep, do not pick up the glass, if you really want to drink, try to drink less, men do not exceed 2 servings of alcohol per day, women do not exceed 1 serving a day how much is "1 drink"? This refers to alcohol containing 0.6 ounces (about 18 ml) of alcohol Corresponding to the usual wine, one drinking unit is roughly equivalent to 355 ml of beer (1 can of beer), or 150ml of wine, or 45ml 40-degree liquor (only 30ml if it is 60 degrees of liquor) wine is good to drink, but don't be greedy cup!
