Pointing to his flabby belly, 44-year-old Asheng told reporters helplessly: "At that time, my figure was comparable to that of an athlete, strong and covered with muscle blocks." "Ah Sheng said that in recent years, he has been busy socializing every day, his feet have not touched the ground, he has no time to exercise, and his weight has increased significantly.
Not only has the face turned into a double chin, but also "facial recognition" can be used to describe a loose-fitting pregnant woman who is pregnant for 5 months. You will be out of breath after walking for a long time, especially when climbing stairs or mountains.
In fact, when many men reach the age of 35, there will be abdominal fat, weight gain, muscle collapse, dung beetles and other phenomena. Men often accuse women of losing weight crazily, but in fact, men's stomachs should also be reduced. Ah Sheng said with a wry smile.
[Expert analysis] Ship is related to androgen deficiency.
"Many men will get fat in middle age. Many people may think that this is a natural manifestation of old age. In fact, this has a lot to do with the decrease of testosterone concentration in men.
Professor Deng Chunhua, deputy director of the andrology branch of Chinese Medical Association, chairman of the andrology branch of Guangdong Society and director of urology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, called this kind of belly obesity abdominal obesity in medicine. Studies have shown that men with more excreta actually lose muscle mass, increase fat mass and keep the same weight, but fat accumulates in the abdomen because of androgen deficiency.
Some men have thin limbs and only big bellies, which is the reason.
"A paunchy man will not only affect his image (fat accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdomen), but more importantly, these fats will also accumulate around visceral blood vessels, causing visceral vascular lesions, which will accelerate the occurrence and development of major diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases over time. So big ships have an impact on face and life.
Many people may have heard of androgen, but the "new force" of androgen is also called testosterone and testosterone. Professor Deng said that the change of male testosterone has an important influence on male vitality, physique and sexual function.
Testosterone is 95% secreted by male testis, and male muscles, bones, sexual function, blood sugar, blood lipid and nervous system are all affected by testosterone level.
An overseas study investigated the blood testosterone levels of 22 obese men. The results show that the average testosterone level of men who exceed 77%~99% of ideal weight is significantly lower than that of non-obese men, and the average testosterone level of men who exceed ideal weight 100% is even lower. This shows that the lower the testosterone level in the body, the more obese it is.
