In the case of office workers who spend a long time sitting and working, it is common to sit cross-legged in a chair. [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]As sporadic rain continues, women wearing short pants and skirts are also easy to find. However, there are times when it is inconvenient to put your legs out coolly. People who have a lower body that stands out exceptionally compared to their upper body. Fat is not evenly distributed throughout the body, so why does only the lower body gain weight?
Both sides of the curvy body and obesity in the lower body, ‘female hormone’
Lower body obesity is a form of obesity that occurs mostly in women. Estrogen, a female hormone, acts to make the lower body parts such as the buttocks, abdomen, and thighs fuller, so women gain lower body fat more easily than men. In particular, if female hormones, which create a curvy body only for women, increase abnormally and increase fat cells, these fat cells can accumulate in the lower body, such as the buttocks and thighs, and become obese.
The ‘wrong posture’ that I have become accustomed to without even realizing it
In the case of office workers who spend a long time sitting and working, it is common to sit cross-legged in a chair. However, this posture also causes lower body obesity. This is because the blood circulation is not smooth, resulting in swelling in the thighs and calves. This posture is easy to unconsciously take the wrong posture, and the pelvis is twisted, and the lower body gradually thickens due to reduced circulation in the body and accumulation of body fat and waste.
‘Constipation’ that bothers me
When constipated, it presses on the groin area where the lymph node is located, which is the passage of lymph fluid that carries wastes, and moisture accumulates in this area, which can cause enlargement of the legs. When bowel movement is slowed down due to constipation, the time that food stays in the intestines lasts for a long time, so the energy absorbed by the intestines is higher than usual.
Full of salt! ‘Eating habit’
Excessively salty, spicy, or sweet foods can overwhelm the digestive system. In particular, snacks with a glass of beer after work are often salty, leading to excessive salt intake. If you frequently eat stimulating foods, excessive sodium builds up in your body, causing water accumulation in your cells, which can lead to swelling. In addition, if you frequently wear tight bottoms or lack of exercise, a decrease in muscle strength can worsen lower body obesity.
