We pick the most belly-fattening foods as their first choice. Yes, we just can't resist just the sight of it.
Let us look at some of the foods that we love to eat:
•Beer: A big paunch is nicknamed "beer belly" not without reason. Regular beer drinkers will find their bellies leading them in no time. Beer is a favorite evening beverage for most men and women. However, they should be aware that waist measurements above 40 inches could put them at risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, stroke, as well as some types of cancer.
•Potato Chips: Just 15 chips will give you 160 calories, and everyone knows that one whole giant-sized bag of potato chips can vanish in no time! And since these chips are stocked in an easily-accessible way in shops and supermarkets, it becomes a convenience buy too. This is the best time-pass snack anyone can think of.
•French Fries: Another common and popular pastime happens to be binging on French fries. Who can resist fries dipped in a variety of sauces! However, potatoes provide extra starch, and frying these potatoes will only increase their trans-fatty content, making the person susceptible to a variety of cardiac problems.
•Aerated Drinks: We tend to down sodas and other aerated drinks, may be because they go well with alcoholic drinks or it sort of becomes a compulsion with those evening nibbles and stomach-filling snacks. These also make for good refreshment before meetings and presentations, or for just chilling the throat now and then.
•Giant Burgers: When it comes to burgers, the bigger the better, right? TV ads of McDonald's and KFC makes you believe so. These ads do attract men to the giant-sized burgers, loaded with cheese slices, fried potatoes, and mayonnaise. The freshness and goodness of fresh lettuce just drowns in these other flavors! On top of it, these savory foods make you crave for aerated drinks, further increasing your calorie intake.
•Coffee/Tea: With unlimited tea and coffee available in offices through the coffee vending machines and the stock of tea bags, men have got into the habit of consuming a number of cups of coffee and tea. This carries the risk of consuming unhealthy amounts of caffeine as well as sugar, which could result in weight gain.
•Pizza: How about some pizza to accompany the beer. Wow! What else could one ask for? These cheese-topped yummy delicacies could be your favorite choice for business lunches, light outings with friends and family, or to eat while your favorite cricket or soccer is going on in TV. However, you should be aware that pizzas are made of refined flour and when topped with cheese could become a deadly combination for your belly.
Belly fat is always dangerous. Reduce it and keep it on mark to have a healthy life...
