Woman over 40, lose belly fat now: the danger to health and beauty

Do you like to wear elegant and fashionable clothes? For a woman over 40, there is often a problem with them: they are tight and reveal excess fat. Especially belly fat doesn’t look good in tight clothes. Recently, a woman in her 40s told me, “I need to lose belly fat now! Summer is coming, I want to put my old clothes back on!”

Of course, a woman over 40 also wants to look good in winter, but at the beach, at a pool party, or simply excluding thick winter clothing from her wardrobe, abdominal fat becomes particularly unsightly. Losing belly fat is often difficult for a woman over 40, and it’s much more than just an eye problem. Belly fat is a serious health hazard.

Belly fat can accumulate both above and below the abdominal muscles. And that’s the main difference between belly fat that just doesn’t add to your beauty and belly fat that is actually dangerous.

1. If the fat deposit is more or less directly under the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles, it’s not pretty to look at, but up to a certain point it’s not really dangerous. This type of body fat is mainly caused by eating too many calories, even if they come from healthy foods. You can also overeat healthy foods!
2. If the fat accumulates inside your belly, under the abdominal muscles, you are risking your health. This fat surrounds your internal organs and is very active in your metabolism. It releases fatty acids into the blood, which makes the blood thicker. In addition, it releases hormones that trigger many dangerous processes in the body, making permanent weight loss difficult for a woman over 40 years of age. This particularly dangerous type of fat often comes from eating too much sugar, fat, and lack of exercise.

If you have accumulated an accumulation of soft fat in your belly, it is probably fat on top of your abdominal muscles. If you can feel your belly muscles, then the fat is inside your belly (below your abdominal muscles).

You have probably heard of BMI (Body Mass Index). There is another method to assess the health risk when it comes to body fat: measuring the circumference of the belly. Take the measurement standing up and get your greatest circumference. For an initial assessment, check your health risk in the following table:

• Men: 37 inches or more: Low
• Men: 40 inches or more: Medium
• Men: 42 inches or more: Tall

For a woman, the health risk is even greater:

• Women: 32 inches or more: Low
• Women: 35 inches or more: Medium
• Women: 37 inches or more: Tall

Hormonal changes after 40 make it increasingly difficult for a woman over 40 to lose ugly and dangerous belly fat. If you’re a woman over 40, you’ve probably already tried various diets and tried unsuccessfully to lose belly fat for a few years. You might consider a personalized program designed specifically for you to lose belly fat permanently.
