Belly fat-burning exercises
Have
you ever noticed that your clothes have become tighter, or that you have
revisited your photo, and that you have become a little fluffy lately?
At
that time, fat may have accumulated in the body without knowing it.
So
how do you reduce fat?
First
of all, let's understand the type and role of fat and the mechanism of burning
correctly.
· What is fat? Is
it true that there are types?
The
condition in which more fat than necessary is attached to the body is generally
called "obesity".
However,
in fact, even if you say "fat" in a nutshell, the types are roughly
classified into two types.
Each
person has a different role and personality, and the type of fat targeted by
the diet also differs from person to person.
What
type of fat do you have? First of all, it is important to know properly.
· Subcutaneous Fat
Fat accumulates in the subcutaneous tissue just below the skin.
As
the amount of subcutaneous fat increases, the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks
become fluffy, and you can pinch it with your fingers.
Compared
to men, it is easier for women to attach to it, and it also protects the uterus
from shocks and cold and also stores nutrition during the lactation period.
It
is difficult to remove once it is applied, but since it is located just below
the skin, it is possible to directly stimulate fat with a massage using body
cream.
· Visceral Fat
Fat
that attaches to the mesentery (the double membrane that wraps the small
intestine in the abdomen).
Since
it is deep in the abdomen, unlike subcutaneous fat, it cannot be pinched with
fingers.
Since
it is used as temporary storage of energy, it is characterized by the fact
that it builds fat quickly and removes it quickly.
It
is also used as a criterion for metabolic syndrome, and it is easier for men to
get on than women, and as visceral fat increases, the waist circumference
increases.
· What is fat
burning? What kind of mechanism is it burned?
When
fat increases, the body becomes plump, and if left as it is, fat cells become
larger and larger, leading to obesity and lifestyle-related diseases.
Therefore,
if you think that you have increased fat, it is important to take action as
soon as possible.
· So how can you
reduce fat?
The
answer is that both subcutaneous and visceral fat need to be "burned"
to reduce fat.
When
exercising, humans can break down fat and burn and consume it.
So
what is the mechanism for burning fat?
Let's
see the flow.
· Fat burning
mechanism:
When
you exercise, your body needs energy
↓
"Lipid
mobilization hormone (hypokinetic hormone)" such as noradrenaline and
adrenaline is secreted in the brain
↓
The
enzyme "lipase" involved in fat metabolism and decomposition is
activated
↓
"Lipase"
breaks down fat into fatty acids and glycerol and releases it into the blood
↓
Fatty
acids are carried to the muscles of the whole body and consumed as energy
Some may ask, "Any exercise is fine?"
Exercise
includes aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise.
Aerobic
exercise is a long-term exercise with a relatively light load while taking in
oxygen into the body.
Typical
examples are walking, jogging, and swimming.
On
the other hand, anaerobic exercise is one that does not take oxygen into the
body and continues a heavy load for a short time.
Examples
include muscle training, weightlifting, and sprinting.
Of
these, aerobic exercise is effective for fat burning.
This
is because aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise use different energy
sources, and aerobic exercise mainly uses fat and sugar, while anaerobic
exercise uses sugar.
Since
aerobic exercise takes a relatively long time, fat that is slowly decomposed
and metabolized is suitable as an energy source, while anaerobic exercise
requires a large amount of energy instantaneously, so it is always The sugar
stored in the muscles is used as an energy source.
· What is good
exercise/muscle training for fat burning?
So
what kind of training should we do to burn fat?
I
mentioned earlier that "aerobic exercise uses fat as an energy source, and
anaerobic exercise uses sugar as an energy source." In fact, anaerobic
exercise, which is not so much involved in fat decomposition, is also necessary
for fat burning.
Muscle
training itself has little to do with fat burning, but it has the advantage
that basal metabolism in the body increases by strengthening muscles, and the
effect of fat burning increases even when you are not exercising.
Especially
for women with a lot of subcutaneous fat, aerobic exercise and muscle training
at the same time can be expected to have the effect of moderately tightening
and losing weight.
Another
thing to keep in mind here is the order in which you exercise.
· Which should be
done first, aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise?
Generally,
it is said that if you aim to burn fat, the order of "muscle training →
aerobic exercise" is good.
So
why is muscle training first effective in burning fat? The reason is that when
muscle training is performed, a large amount of "growth hormone" is
secreted in the body.
This
growth hormone plays a role in stretching the back in the child's body, but in
the adult's body, it has the function of strengthening muscles, bones, and skin.
If
you do muscle training after aerobic exercise, you may have already run out of
energy in aerobic exercise, and if that happens, you will be able to perform
well with muscle training that requires a large amount of energy
instantaneously. can not do.
If
you can't put a good load on your muscles, it will be difficult to strengthen
your muscles and increase your basal metabolism.
Therefore,
it can be said that "the order of" muscle training → aerobic exercise
"is effective for fat burning."
· Smooth energy
metabolism with brown rice and millet
It
can be said that changing the white rice that you usually eat to brown rice or
millet rice is also effective for fat burning.
The
reason is that vitamin B1 contained in brown rice and millet rice has the
effect of smoothing energy metabolism.
In
addition, since they also contain a lot of dietary fiber, they are recommended
for dieting as they slow down the absorption of sugars and smooth the
defecation.
· Take
ingredients that are effective for fat burning
If
you take a lot of peppers and spices, you may sweat. This is evidence that fat
burning is accelerating in the body. By all means, incorporate these
ingredients into your daily diet to help burn fat.
· Be conscious of
drinking as much water as possible
Some
people may think that "drinking water causes your body to swell" and
"gets fat." However, in reality, it is known that when the amount of
water intake is low, the body swells.
In addition, if you drink enough water, your body's basal metabolism will increase, and fat burning will progress further. Of course, drinking too much puts a strain on the internal organs and can cause the body to cool down. Try to drink as much water as you can, such as "moisturize before your throat dries" and "always keep a water bottle or PET bottle near you and get into the habit of drinking little by little".
