Visceral fat can not only lead to "fatty liver" that people often hear, but also damage the health of kidneys and hearts.
The family medicine department of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou collected the data of 20,000 people who received health examination in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in 20 13 years. The results showed that the higher the visceral fat index, the higher the blood pressure, blood lipid and fasting blood glucose, and the worse the filtration rate of renal function, the higher the risk of chronic kidney disease 1.5 times.
In addition, the increase of blood pressure, blood lipid and fasting blood glucose are all factors that will affect cardiovascular health, not to mention heart health.
In addition to eating too much food that will turn into fat and not exercising, protein's insufficient intake can easily lead to the accumulation of "visceral fat".
Because the body makes fat that can be stored, a large part of it is in the liver. After the liver synthesizes fat, it will be sent to all parts of the body through "cholesterol". High density lipoprotein cholesterol is responsible for sending cholesterol in blood vessels to the liver, and then it will be excreted with bile. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol sends cholesterol produced by the liver to blood vessels for daily work.
So in other words, if protein doesn't eat enough, which leads to the decrease of lipoprotein synthesis, the liver can't let lipoprotein transport the body fat, but only let the fat accumulate in the liver and become fatty liver and visceral fat.
Kang Hongming, director of Rongxin Clinic and a member of Obesity Medical Association, also stressed that besides cholesterol, a lot of muscle is needed to form subcutaneous fat, not visceral fat to protect the body, because subcutaneous fat is attached to muscles. If the body lacks muscle, fat will turn to accumulate in the internal organs, resulting in fatty liver, but muscle also needs a lot of protein to synthesize.
This is how high-quality protein eats! Gao Huiwen, a nutritionist and senior project manager of the Millennium Love Foundation, said that only by eating well-digested protein can the body be used quickly, so she suggested eating more eggs, fish, chicken, soybean milk and tofu, because fiber is different from meat, so it is easier to digest and absorb.
As for protein, cattle and pork are not easily absorbed, because they have different nutrients, such as iron and minerals, so they need to be supplemented occasionally or combined with other foods to balance nutrition.
Chen, a nutritionist at Taoyuan Chang Gung Physical Examination Center, said that the creamer, fructose and alcohol in sugary drinks and fruits "are easy to cause triglycerides. If you have drinking habits, you will also form triglycerides during the decomposition process. Over time, it is easy to accumulate visceral fat and become fatty liver. 」
Therefore, in addition to eating more protein, you should also remember to avoid these foods, so as not to let your body grow visceral fat and make you look thin but unhealthy.
