Causes of upper body obesity in women

Many women are fat in the upper body, and it is generally more difficult for people with fat in the upper body to lose weight. What is the reason for women's upper body obesity? What causes a thick back? Let’s take a look together!

Causes of upper body obesity in women

The causes of upper body obesity in women may be due to genetic inheritance, eating too much, lack of exercise, abnormal growth hormone metabolism, etc.

1. Genetic inheritance: If both parents are fat, their children have a 70% chance of being obese. If one of the parents is obese, their children have a 50% chance of being obese. In fact, the key is still closely related to the family’s dietary structure.

2. Eating too much: Many people tend to gain weight because they eat too many desserts, drinks, and high-calorie foods. High-fried, super-sweet, high-protein, and low-fiber foods can all cause weight gain.

3. Lack of exercise: If the diet is not changed or the dietary calorie intake is too much, and there is a lack of exercise on a daily basis, it is equivalent to unnecessary calories being converted into body fat storage, and you will get fatter and fatter over time.

4. Abnormal growth hormone metabolism: Some people gain weight due to taking some medicines, such as drugs containing adrenaline, high thyroxine, insulin glargine, or using steroid drugs, which may also cause obesity.

What causes a thick back?

The reasons for a thick back are lack of exercise, lying down instead of sitting, long-term sitting, and inappropriate underwear.

1. Lack of fitness exercise

If you don't exercise enough, it will directly cause the muscles in your shoulders and neck to atrophy, and your back will easily gain weight. Even if you don't have time to go to the gym regularly, you can use your spare time to do more moderate exercises to exercise your muscles.

2. Lie down instead of sitting

Ge You's pose became popular for no apparent reason, but should you be proud of it? A bad sitting posture will cause the pelvis to tilt, which will cause the entire body to tilt. The tilted part will be more likely to accumulate fat.

3. Sitting for a long time

Do you often find that your back, shoulders and neck muscles become stiff after sitting for a long time? If the upper body maintains a posture for a long time without moving, it will seriously affect metabolism and cause fat accumulation. People who sit for a long time should often do stretching exercises for the shoulders and back.

4. The underwear is not suitable

Excessively tight underwear will block blood circulation and stagnate lymph nodes. After the metabolic capacity is reduced, the human body is prone to accumulate brittle waste and the back is more prone to fat accumulation. Underwear must be changed frequently. No need to go overboard with overly tight underwear.

How can people with hard flesh lose weight?

1. Avoid strenuous activities. Strenuous activities are ineffective and unhelpful for weight loss. For example, treadmill running, barbell lifting, football playing and all kinds of jumping and jumping, the activity time is short, the amount of exercise is large, the body's consumption increases sharply, and a large proportion of this consumption is sugar and water, which can easily cause intolerance and involuntarily increase appetite.

This kind of exercise is not easy to maintain. When the heart rate exceeds 160 beats/minute, the fatigue caused often makes people give up exercise, and the result is naturally the failure of losing weight. Try to grit your teeth and maintain the pose to the end, which can make the muscles of the whole body extremely round and strong, which is very different from the traditional graceful and elegant style of oriental women.

2. Maintain aerobic exercise. Slow exercise is aerobic exercise with low intensity, rhythmic and non-interrupted characteristics. It is beneficial to increase the amount of body fat, reduce the volume of body fat, and is conducive to digestion and circulation.

For example, taking a walk, cycling, running, swimming, and practicing Tai Chi.

3. You can also continue exercising at home, such as weighted squat exercises, jumping jacks, and using tables and chairs instead of rib bars to raise your legs forward and backward. In general, the principle of physical activity to lose weight is to maintain aerobic exercise at least twice a week. Short-term exercise is not likely to have obvious adverse effects. You must be confident and keep exercising until you achieve healthy weight loss results.
