Men have now fallen under the Body Beautiful
spell.

is the ultimate No go area, so here are

rain on that expanding BELLY.
Not only does a Beer Belly not look
good, but it is also putting you at a
greater risk of Illness which can include,
Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Heart Disease,
Cancer, Even premature Death.
Overweight people are usually stereotyped
as Lazy individuals who do not care about
their appearance, live on junk and fast
food and stay well clear of exercise
this is not always the case, here are
some facts that play a major part in
why even the healthiest of people may
be struggling with that perfect six pack.

with, you may not be able to change your
Genes but there are ways to help Bust

than Fat, Two or three session a week
of a full body weight training session
is a great way to start.
A good diet

go all day with little time to maintain
a full training session then Green Tea

MEDICAL
CONDITIONS / MEDICATION

can make a real difference to your body,
and can include sudden and unusual weight
gain or loss, some drugs to watch out
for include, Corticosteroids, Psychotropic
drugs, antipsychotics, Steroids, and
Anti-retrovial agents.
It would be
recommended that you speak to your Doctor
if you feel you are suffering from any
side effects and get some advise on how
to deal with them.
AGE
Why is it we take so much forgranted
in our teens and early to mid twenties,
it seems we are able to consume mountains
of junk food and down enough beer to
sink the titanic without the slightest
fear of effecting that perfect washboard
stomach, then we reach our thirties and
it all gets harder to maintain, contrary
to popluar belief this is not due to
your metabolism slowing down but actually
down to YOU slowing down and being less
active.
So in order to help keep the perfect
bod, you need to maintain your levels
of exercise as you get older, try to
keep up a regular cardio and weight workout,
add a short brisk walk into you daily
activites and most important maintain
a healthy diet, cutting out refined sugars
fried food, sweets and fizzy drinks.
BOOZING
OK lets face it, it doesn't take a lot,
but Men can often get rather confused
when calculating their calories consumed
V calories burned, they think they are
doing pretty well, but fail to understand
why they still have a beer belly.
The major factor is Alcohol, they have
forgotten to include ALL the extra calories
that have taken in from drinking and
remember BOOZE tends to go straight to
the BELLY.
In just 3 pints you can accumulate approximately
500 useless calories that will just sit
around in your ever-expanding BELLY.
Alcohol can also affect your all important
serumtestosterone levels and you could
run the risk of loosing up to 20% of
your muscle mass. The less muscle your
body has the fewer calories your body
will burn, so more of your calories will
be stored as fat rather then being turned
into energy.
It has been recorded that over a million
Men are consuming more than 50units a
week this is a problem that should be
addressed.
Here are a few ways to help reduce the
risk of over boozing.
Setting
yourself a weekly limit is a good start,
a sensible level of alcohol for a man
Is around 21units a week, however if
your Belly is really bustin out then
cut it down to around 14units, 1unit
is a half pint of normal strenghth beer,
small glass of wine or single shot of
spirit. Try to drink a pint of water
with ever alcoholic beverage this will
help break down the......., So now you
know the facts lets see some action.
BAD POSTURE
Couch potatoe, slouching, hunching,
they all emphasise the appearance of
a Beer Belly, so SUCK IT IN, Lazy stomach
muscles make things appear much worse
than they actually are.
Try holding in those muscles for 10 seconds
before releasing, repeate this exercise
5 times ever couple of hours, it can be
done anywhere, at home work, shopping,
even while you are relaxing in front of
the TV, simple but highly effective.
