The Science behind Belly Fat

Belly fat most Stubborn fat to go. I am training so many women and their main goal is getting a flat tummy, some of them are very lean still they have a belly pouch.

Let’s understand the science behind this stubborn fat
Hormones, gender and genetics are a few of the main factors that decide the number of fat cells in our body and where they are distributed in our body. Lifestyle can influence how much fat is stored in those cells.

There are two receptors in fat cells known as ALPHA-2 and BETA-2 receptors.

ALPHA-2 receptors are the bad guys that hinder the burning fat while BETA-2 tell accelerate the burning fat.

If your body has more ALPHA-2 than BETA-2 then it the more difficult it will be for your body to burn fat.

OUR BELLY FAT MADE OF ALPHA-2

You can not just convert ALPHA-2 to BETA-2 because you are born with a certain distribution of these receptors.

BLOOD FLOW IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT AFFECTS THE BURNING OF STUBBORN FAT.

Generally, the flow of blood to the stubborn fat regions is the lower side and without proper blood flow, you won’t be able to get the required hormones(catecholamines) into stubborn fat regions to mobilize the fat.
