Obese people don't have more variety inside their large bellies than the average person, just larger portions.

What we often refer to as the stomach is actually the abdomen, which contains the abdominal wall and the organs in the abdominopelvic cavity. As shown in the figure above, the abdominal cavity includes the stomach, small intestine, colorectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and the tunica, fascia, blood vessels, and nerves between the organs.

First of all, the abdominal wall of obese people is very thick, mainly when the subcutaneous fat layer is very thick, often abdominal surgery experience the most profound, the abdominal wall of obese patients alone fat layer of 7-8cm, while thin patients, a thin layer of subcutaneous fat, directly to the abdominal wall muscles.

Furthermore, the tethered membranes attached to all the organs in the abdominal cavity of obese patients contain a lot of fat in the fascia. In particular, the greater omentum, which hangs down from the stomach and colon, is a thick swath. Please see the great omentum of a recently operated case of gastric cancer patient, which is really spectacular.

There is also the fact that the intestinal fat drape on the surface of the large intestine of the patient that is large and full, whereas in thin people it is very small, and the fact that the mesentery of all the small intestine and colon is thick with fat, and that the blood vessels of the intestinal tubes are scarcely even visible, being buried in deep fat. When the fat content of all the organs increases, it adds up to a large volume, and the appearance of a large belly is produced.

In short, too much obesity is not a good phenomenon. First of all, it is easy to lead to dyslipidemia, abnormal blood sugar, which is unfavorable to the heart, brain and lungs. Obese patients' heart and lung burden increases, easy to produce coronary heart disease and other problems. It is also unfavorable to the joints of the lower limbs. Therefore, proper weight control and exercise is an investment in the long-term health of the body.

In the picture, you can clearly see visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. Subcutaneous fat is found under the skin and is the "fat" that can be felt.

Visceral fat is a type of body fat that, unlike subcutaneous fat, surrounds a person's organs and is dangerous to health.

Men also have a lot of abdominal obesity, feel the truth about beer belly

The dangers of a beer belly:Beer belly most of the problem of visceral fat accumulation, visceral fat than subcutaneous fat for insulin resistance is more serious, can directly lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiac function abnormalities and sleep apnea and other diseases, men do not easily get the belly bigger!

Schematic representation of subcutaneous and visceral fat distribution for different body sizes

Subcutaneous fat accumulation can be reduced by liposuction surgery by sucking out the appropriate amount of fat accumulated under the skin. Most people with "beer belly" have abdominal obesity, but the accumulation of subcutaneous fat is small and cannot be improved by liposuction. People who want to lose beer belly can lose weight by strengthening their own exercise, adjusting their living habits and diet structure.

How to beat the beer belly: one, control diet: reduce the number of greasy and sweet food, eat more crude fiber food, can not eat too much, too full; two, strengthen the movement; three, special abdominal exercises: sit-ups, massage the abdomen; four, good habits: after eating do not immediately sit down, stand or walk for a period of time; five, reduce the consumption of alcohol.

About 15 years ago, we took on a heavyweight in labor, 160 and 230+ pounds. Her stomach seemed like a hill, and she herself seemed like a mountain. As she lay on the table, we were incredibly thankful that the table was sturdy enough.

Once the anesthesia is done and you are lying down, we begin to prepare for the C-section. The usual sterilized towels were laid out, and then the procedure began. One cut, skin, another cut, subcutaneous fat, another cut, subcutaneous fat, another cut, still subcutaneous fat 。。。。。。

To put it simply, it's yellowish oil. Our surgical blades are not big, but very sharp, so you need to be careful when using temporary, so as not to scratch. But under normal circumstances, a cut should be separated from the subcutaneous fat, this are pulled three cuts, look at it, or a yellow piece.

Finally, the stomach was opened to see the uterus, which was round like a big meatball. The fetus was successfully taken out, and then the patient spoke:Doctor, can you help me scrape some of the oil off the top of my stomach? I want to lose some weight!

Girl, you had a c-section, not liposuction, okay? Besides, you have so much fat, we can't even worry about fat liquefaction, we have to shave you? Save your breath, we'll be lucky if the incision grows back!

After the surgery was over, the small mountain of a stomach wasn't as spectacular without the baby. As for all that fat, it's where it belongs. In order to smoothly transfer her to the observation bed, we got four young and strong boys to carry her there. The patient's husband kept passing cigarettes and apologizing:Sorry ah sorry, we are too heavy!

What's inside the belly of an obese person with a big belly? As a doctor, let me answer. With a big belly, which we all call general belly or beer belly, a person with a big belly not only has a big belly, but also a lot of contents inside the belly. I am sorry to tell you that a big belly is not a big muscle or internal organ, not to mention the so-called hangover. People with a big belly have fat on the outside and inside, or what we common people call fat.

subcutaneous fat

The fat of the belly is called subcutaneous fat. Adult males, the thickness of the subcutaneous fat of the abdominal wall is 5 to 15 millimeters, less than 5 millimeters for wasting, greater than 15 millimeters for obesity. Adult female abdominal subcutaneous fat for 12 to 20 millimeters, less than 12 millimeters for thin, greater than 20 millimeters for obese. And the belly of the obese, subcutaneous fat can be significantly thickened, seriously obese people, subcutaneous fat can be 4 to 5 centimeters so thick. We do abdominal traditional open surgery, the most afraid of the subcutaneous fat is particularly thick obese people, because the closure of the abdominal incision, the abdominal wall is thick, tension, not good to close the abdomen, and the blood supply of adipose tissue is very poor, easy to fat malnutrition after the operation, resulting in fat liquefaction and necrosis, wound infections and other complications, in serious cases, and even wound dehiscence. Subcutaneous fat can be reduced through exercise, diet control and other ways, or through liposuction surgery, the subcutaneous fat can be removed.

visceral fat

Visceral fat is different from subcutaneous fat in that visceral fat surrounds the organs and is mainly stored inside the abdominal cavity. Visceral fat is of great significance to our health. A certain amount of visceral fat is actually necessary for the human body because visceral fat surrounds one's organs and plays a supporting, stabilizing and protective role for them. However, too much visceral fat is harmful, more so than subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat deposits in the liver can lead to fatty liver, severe hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Excessive visceral fat also increases the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiac hypertrophy, infertility, and even cancer.

Visceral fat is extremely harmful, and liposuction can not eliminate visceral fat, only through exercise, dieting, so that you lose weight, visceral fat will also be reduced. For serious obesity (BMI greater than 32.5), the weight loss effect is not good, especially the combination of hypertension, diabetes and other diseases of the population, you can try surgical weight loss, minimally invasive method of removing part of the stomach, so that it will reduce the amount of food, eat a little bit of satiety, weight loss effect is good, after losing weight, diabetes and high blood pressure will be improved, and a part of the patients, and even do not need need to take injections and medication, diabetes and high blood pressure cured.

All in all, people with fat tummies are dangerous to their health and need to lower their weight and try to lose weight to get rid of their beer bellies.

With the improvement of living standards, there are more and more obese people. The obesity rate in China is as high as 12%, which has surpassed that of the United States in the world's first place.

So what's in the belly of an obese person with a big belly?

Fat, fat, all fat!

To this day I remember when I was in anatomy class in medical school, the teaching remains we were assigned to used to be an obese little boy. When we opened up the skin we found that it was so full of yellowish fat that it was impossible to see the muscle layers.

If you want to separate the muscles, blood vessels, nerves and other tissues, you must use a scalpel to slowly remove the thick layer of fat, in the process of a little carelessness will also be stripped of fat particles will be ejected across the face of the classmates, hair ...... I have been hit by flying fat particles a number of times, including the face, hair, and even in the mouth! I've been hit many times by flying fat particles on my face, hair and even in my mouth.

In addition to subcutaneous fat, obese people's body organs and tissues are also covered with a thick layer of fat, and even the walls of blood vessels are not spared!. Some people may think that when an organ is covered with fat, it increases in size and therefore correspondingly its function increases. However, this is not the case and the fat covering will only seriously reduce the physiological function of the organ.

Normal heart vs. fat-covered heart:

In addition to fat, obese people have a big stomach.I think this should be very understandable. After all, the vast majority of obese patients are obese because they have consumed too much energy, in other words, they eat a lot. That being the case, without a big stomach, how can you fit in what you eat?

In addition to the belly load, obese people may also have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood fat, fatty liver, coronary heart disease and a series of other diseases.In order to have a healthy body, it is recommended that you must keep your weight under control, which can be done from a variety of aspects such as controlling your diet, strengthening aerobic exercise, etc., and only after you have lost weight will you realize that it is good to be a thin person.

The above represents personal opinion only, a like or follow would be a great encouragement!

Some people think that inside the big belly is a hangover, in fact, it is not, it is very simple, take some laxatives, if the stomach is smaller is a hangover. However, it is clear that pulling more than in addition to dehydration stomach will not become smaller, in that case, what is in the big belly? Obese people with big tummies have fat in their tummies. Fat is divided into subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. In life, some people look thin, a lot of visceral fat, some people look fat, a lot of subcutaneous fat, it is clear that visceral fat than subcutaneous fat is much more harmful to the human body. Subcutaneous fat refers to the loose flesh that the human body can touch, which can be reduced by liposuction surgery. Visceral fat is several layers of oil wrapped around the organs, and liposuction surgery works poorly on it.

Male belly, commonly known as "general belly" or "beer belly", medically known as central, centripetal obesity. This kind of obesity is particularly harmful to the human body, we must also look at their own fat or others fat on the guess which will get the disease, obese people, get diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease probability of medium-sized people higher than 2-3 times, must pay attention to.

To prevent this situation: 1, diet, eat less eat less eat, important things to say three times, control your mouth is very important, and to eat less or even do not eat greasy fat and sweet food, snacks, carbonated beverages, and so on all the things that make people fat, and eat more vegetables and crude fiber food; 2, open your legs, and more sports, whether it is their own sports or gym sports, to ensure that the sports time of 2-3 hours every day; 3, after eating a meal Do not immediately sit and lie down, the abdomen is the most easy to gather fat parts, half an hour and then sit, strengthen the abdominal exercise; 4, less alcohol.

An obese person with a large stomach, which is abdominal obesity, has a stomach that is mostly subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and internal organs. Studies have found that the visceral fat that accumulates in the abdomen is more harmful and requires more weight loss than the fat that accumulates in the hips and thighs.

Generally speaking, men are more likely to accumulate fat in the waist and abdomen, commonly known as "beer belly", our liver, kidneys, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract and other important organs are located in the abdomen, excessive accumulation of fat in the liver is easy to lead to a fatty liver, the pancreas accumulates too much fat will increase the risk of pancreatitis, and the gastrointestinal tract around the accumulation of excess fat will affect the digestion. The fat accumulation around the gastrointestinal tract affects digestion. In short, a big belly is much more dangerous to your health.

Studies have also found that abdominal obesity increases the risk of fatty liver, cardiovascular disease, and departmental tumors, and is more harmful than extremity-based obesity, where fat is located primarily under the skin.

According to China's standards, men with waist circumference ≥ 85cm and women with waist circumference ≥ 80cm are abdominal obese and need to lose weight urgently.

To lose belly fat, current research shows that for most people, as long as they eat less properly, reduce calorie intake and increase exercise (mainly aerobic exercise), the body's visceral fat is not difficult to lose. The reason why many people complain about the stomach is difficult to reduce, may be more or because they did not adhere to eat less and move more or the method is not right, into the weight loss misunderstanding. Common misconceptions about stomach loss are blind dieting without regard to the body's basic nutrition, or only do sit-ups and other local strength training. Blind dieting seriously affects health, the basic metabolism drops, seriously affects health, and it is difficult to adhere to. Localized strength training, such as sit-ups, can increase local muscles, but the overall calorie consumption is less. The best method is still aerobic exercise (running, swimming, cycling, etc.) + local strength training, but aerobic exercise is the main one.

[20180416 Chief of Staff 14] There is certainly all meat there. There are two kinds of tummy, there is a set of pictures circulating on the Internet some time ago, one is a man with a big tummy, hands resting on his stomach, and the other is a woman who is eight months pregnant, also hands resting on her stomach. Obviously, the man's stomach is full of fat, while the woman's stomach is a small baby.

What are the health risks of obese people with large stomachs? Many people have this kind of mentality, listen to God, people's lives are doomed, and so on some reasons, and thus do not pay attention to diet, want to eat what to eat, want to drink what to drink, indeed, it is difficult to say that the human life, but a lot of people's lives are in their own hands, if you have a healthy body, you can be happy to live, but the length of life, although you can not decide to live the width of the life, you can decide. At least when you are alive, there will not be too much pain, if the belly of the obese, do not pay attention to weight management, as well as body management, followed by fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, a series of metabolic diseases, the stomach is particularly large, or particularly obese, will also trigger high blood pressure, is because of the fat is particularly large, squeezing blood vessels, if the heart wants to restore the previous blood flow velocity to be Increase the power so that it will form a greater pressure on the impact of the blood vessel wall, and thus the formation of high blood pressure, so obese people's stomach is full of fat, should be reduced is also fat, it is necessary to start from the diet and exercise dietary life refused to carbonated beverages, deep-fried greasy, puffed food, high-sugar food.

Think carefully, these foods on the human body really does not have any one point of benefit, to the human body to increase is energy, energy or energy, when the body metabolism can not be eliminated, and finally piled up in a part of the body will form fat, swimming circles, obese stomach, as well as elephant legs, these are all obesity brought about by the obesity, so the stomach of the obese people, the stomach inside is full of fat, full of junk food.

With the improvement of people's standard of living, food and clothing is no longer a problem, on the contrary, due to over-nutrition and lack of scientific lifestyle many people's weight is more than the normal range, and even obesity. Obesity is divided into different types, some people are evenly distributed, while some people present to the stomach obesity center-type obesity, usually we often use the "General Belly", "beer belly" to describe, especially some men, the stomach is big up alive like a pregnant with a Full-term fetus. Many people will be very curious, such a big belly, in the end what is inside? Today, Dr. Elf will take this question to analyze and answer for you.

The abdominal cavity of the human body, unlike the thoracic cavity, is not protected by ribs like the thoracic cavity, and therefore has a certain degree of expansion and contraction. The abdominal cavity is mainly the internal organs of the human body, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, spleen and other substantial organs, but also includes the stomach, small intestine, large intestine and other lumen-like organs, the latter will be inside the ingested food, so if you eat too much or not discharged in a timely manner will increase the volume of the abdominal cavity. Although these organs will account for a certain volume but is not the main cause of belly enlargement, the most important is adipose tissue, which is what people usually say fat or grease. The adipose tissue in the abdomen is divided into internal and external fat. External fat is mainly found under the skin and can be easily felt by grasping and pinching, and this fat can be eliminated by liposuction. Visceral fat, on the other hand, is found within the abdominal wall and around the organs, cannot be directly palpated and cannot be removed through simple surgery, and it can have a much more detrimental effect on your health. In addition, the abdomen includes the abdominal muscles, which many people would like to have developed, and which have a limited volume if they are not specially trained, although the more developed they are, the better they are for the body's shape and health.

Through the above analysis we will know that the main component of those obese belly is in fact adipose tissue, different people inside and outside the distribution of fat may be different. Dr. Elf was most impressed by the young see a female patient in the clinic, the stomach is also very large, the strange thing is that the belly button are spread flat, clinically need to except this patient has ascites may be, but through a simple percussion signs are not obvious, so at that time the patient was given an abdominal CT examination, I did not expect to be the main visceral fat, the proportion of visible fat distribution can be extremely imbalanced! This shows that the fat distribution ratio can be extremely imbalanced. Finally, we need to remind everyone, excessive abdominal fat and often mentioned hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease have a certain relationship, so control the waistline is also in the maintenance of health.
