Thin men are more attractive

Why are men "thin"?

Some people think that "being broad-minded and fat" is a manifestation of being carefree. This statement is reasonable, which is one of the reasons why most men gain weight quickly after getting married like a balloon.

But in fact, weight increases as a man ages. The average man has about 30 billion fat cells in his body, and these cells become heavier as he ages.

Starting from the age of 20, the ratio of fat and muscle tissue in the body tends to increase. The older you get, the more difficult it is to exercise. The strength and plasticity of muscles begin to decline from the age of 20. By the age of 40, the function of the heart and lungs gradually weakens, the joint ligaments harden, and the body becomes more and more vulnerable to injury.

Once upon a time, the phrase "A slightly raised belly and a no longer perfect figure are signs of a man's reliability" was always added to the so-called whitewash portraits of successful men. Even Shakespeare used the phrase "insidious" to describe thin men.

Women should be slender and slim, but for men, getting fat is a sign of success. But now, more and more women don't want their partner to be a "reliably fat".

As a result, almost every man after the age of 30 is always heavier than before. And his genes, hormones and slowed metabolism all began to affect his abdomen. Therefore, losing shape with age is not a woman's monopoly.

Long sedentary hours at work, lack of exercise due to work stress, or seeking comfort from food or alcohol due to depression are all reasons why men get fat. Moreover, weight and the stress they endure can form a vicious cycle: ordinary people are prone to overeating and indigestion under pressure, resulting in excessive weight, and are therefore more susceptible to stress.

How can a man lose weight?

Eight keys to successful weight loss

Losing weight may still be a new thing for many men. Therefore, it is necessary to do "preparation activities" for weight loss. Now let's take a look at the factors that promote successful weight loss.

1. Psychological effect. The confidence, courage and perseverance of dieters to overcome obesity are crucial to the effect of weight loss, because this difficult and long-term process requires dieters to have good psychological qualities.

2. The age of obesity. The younger you get fat, the worse the weight loss effect will be. Someone once observed a certain number of obese infants and young children, and twenty years later found that 80% of these children had become obese patients. The effect of weight loss is often better when you start to be obese.

3. Genetic effects. People with a family genetic history often have poor weight loss results.

4. Marriage. People in a happy marriage can lose weight easily, and people with children after marriage can lose weight easily. Those who are unmarried, have no children after marriage, or have a frustrated marriage have poorer weight loss results.

5. Gender. Male dieters are more likely to succeed than women.

6. Weight. Excessive weight has a poor effect.

7. Time. The first three months of diet treatment are critical. If you control your weight properly at this stage and lose more than 0.5 kilograms per week, the weight loss effect will be better.

8. Weight loss methods. In general, using a comprehensive method to lose weight is much better than using only one weight loss method.

Exercise, diet, and both hands must be tough

1. Aerobic exercise such as cycling, running, swimming, and walking is the most effective way to consume calories in the body;

2. Don't bother to find a parking space in a crowded parking lot. Put the car further away and you can enjoy the fun of walking;

3. Don't take the elevator and climb the stairs yourself;

4. Don't hesitate to go for a walk during a break instead of drinking coffee or cola, because walking can clear your mind better than any beverage;

5. Adjust your relationship with your partner in a stressful life, knowing that having sex is also a good exercise.

As you age, changes within the body may develop in two directions. On the one hand, the amount of calories required decreases and the storage of remaining calories increases; on the other hand, the body's ability to process food and absorb nutrients gradually weakens.

As a result, a 45-year-old person's food intake is similar to that of a 20-year-old person. The energy intake by the former is more easily converted into weight than is difficult to nourish the body. Therefore, choosing an appropriate diet is important to prevent weight gain. (Internship Editor: He Lili)
