Fat belly is not anything to be proud of. In fact most of the people who have a fat belly often find themselves embarrassed because they are made fun of in public. Because of such reasons most of the people who have a fat belly often refrain from attending parties, going to nightclubs or even going out for a lunch or dinner with friends. The problem is aggravated further by the fact that when they stay back at home they eat even more to keep themselves occupied. And as compared to the boys with a fat belly, girls with a fat belly are often found to be more socially inactive.
It is in fact far easier for girls to develop a fat belly than in boys. There are a few social as well as biological reasons behind it. Let us discuss a few of them here. But, these are not the only reasons and there could be a wide array of other reasons too.
The first reason is that girls experience more hormonal changes than boys. The first instance where most of the girls pick up weight is around the time that they reach puberty. These hormonal changes trigger certain reactions inside the body which make the girls more irritated or uneasy at all times. Apart from that most of the girls are far more emotional than most men and therefore in order to suppress their depression and disturbed mental state they often eat more than they should. This causes them to develop a fat belly.
Apart from this girls usually don’t do as much physical work as men do and therefore if they don’t control the food intake they can develop a fat belly. Also it has been seen that anti-depressants cause most of the women to pick up a lot of weight.
Fat belly in girls or in boys is not a good sign. It is s disturbing trend because across the country it has been seen that a far greater percentage of children are under the category of being obese than a couple of decades back. Most of this trouble is attributed to higher consumption of junk food as against good quality foods like fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.
Apart from this with the ever increasing number of TV channels and videogames like x-box, psp, ninetendo etc, children are barely stepping outside their house to play. And this is ensuring just one thing, that while they eat as much as they should; they are hardly burning any of those calories. And ultimately all these calories show up nowhere else but on the belly.
