Metabolic problems are becoming one of the main causes of weight gain, the appearance of excess fat in the abdominal area and the development of health-threatening complications. According to the nutritionist, a slowdown in metabolism is most often associated with an unhealthy diet and lifestyle.
The specialist notes that many people simply overeat, ignore their diet, abuse fatty foods, or, conversely, sit on too low-calorie diets. This provokes malfunctions in the body and negatively affects metabolism.
Seven main reasons for a slow metabolism:
-
skipping breakfast;
-
insufficient intake of water into the body;
-
irregular eating;
-
large portions;
-
main meal in the evening;
-
inadequate sleep;
-
constant stress.
Metabolism is a complex set of processes that affects not only weight, but also the functioning of the vascular and hormonal systems. A particularly dangerous consequence of its disruption is the accumulation of visceral (so-called "white") fat on the abdomen, which increases the risks of cardiovascular diseases and hormonal disruptions.
What will help normalize metabolism:
-
refusal of sugar;
-
sufficient protein intake;
-
including fiber in the diet;
-
regular tea consumption;
-
giving up alcohol.
The nutritionist emphasizes: even simple changes in diet and daily habits can significantly affect metabolism, improve well-being, and reduce the risks of dangerous diseases.
