As organs become saturated with fat, a person\u2019s body becomes unable to efficiently process sugar and type 2 diabetes develops. <br><br>\n\nMany people associate high fat diets and sedentary lifestyles with the development of belly fat. However, researchers have recently discovered that an enzyme associated with vitamin A triggers hormones contributing to the formation of this type of fat. Although this hormone is present in both men and women, women have much higher levels of the hormone. As a result, they typically develop belly fat in significantly larger amounts than men. <br><br>\n\n<b>Options to Fight Belly Fat<\/b> <br><br>\n\nEven if women are more genetically prone to belly fat than men, that does not mean they cannot fight it from developing. Avoiding a high fat diet in the first place is one method of stopping belly fat from occurring. Eating a diet rich in organic whole fruits and vegetables and lean meats can effectively fight high levels of fat. <br><br>\n\nAdding routine exercise is also important. A variety of exercises can strengthen abdominal muscles and improve metabolism. For example, pilates or yoga that focus on core muscle strengthening can increase metabolism, improve flexibility and improve muscle strength. Additionally, cardiovascular activities such as walking, bike riding or swimming can increase metabolism. <br><br>\n\nRemaining active and eating a healthy diet that avoids processed foods high in sugar and fat can lead to an improved lifestyle. Type 2 diabetes is strongly associated with obesity and weight gain. By avoiding these health conditions, you will improve your longevity and overall health. <br><br><br>\n\n<i>Contributor: The Alternative Daily<\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reason Behind That Stubborn Belly Fat Curious about why women tend to develop more belly fat than men, researchers conducted experiments to answer this question.
