At present, obesity or increasing belly fat has become one of the most common problems. Children, youth, women and elderly also remain victims of obesity. At the same time, many reporters have also made it clear that obesity is not just a problem of appearance but is also the root of many serious diseases. Experts say that increased fat on the body not only increases the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer, but it also affects the chances of becoming a mother. In such a situation, let us tell you today how belly fat can become a hindrance in becoming a mother and what experts say about it.
increasing problem of infertility
Earlier the problem of infertility was mostly seen in elderly women. But now young women are also struggling with this. Actually, modern lifestyle, stress, unbalanced eating habits and hormonal imbalance are the main reasons for this. At the same time, experts believe that obesity, especially the fat accumulated around the stomach i.e. belly fat, is also becoming a major cause of infertility in women.
Connection between belly fat and infertility
Many researches have shown that women who have belly fat problem have more reproductive problems. Research conducted on 3,200 women aged 18 to 45 in America has revealed that every extra centimeter of waist fat increases the risk of infertility by about 3 percent. According to research, women whose waist fat was 60 cm had the lowest risk of infertility. Whereas this risk was measured highest in women with waist circumference of 160 cm or more. However, women whose waist measurement was up to 113 cm have reduced the risk to a great extent with the help of exercise and physical activity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, moderate level physical activity such as brisk walking, running or cycling increases heart rate and breathing rate. This helps in reducing belly fat and keeping weight under control. A team from China’s Hui Zhou Central People’s Hospital also says that efforts to reduce waist measurement can be helpful in conceiving. If women keep an eye on their waist measurement and increase physical activity regularly, their chances of becoming a mother can increase.
Due to what reasons the problem increases?
According to experts, lifestyle factors like staying awake late at night, consumption of fast food and processed foods, lack of physical activity and obesity worsen the hormonal imbalance of women. This affects ovulation, which is an essential process for conception. At the same time, stress is also a big reason among working women. Due to prolonged stress, periods do not remain regular and the chances of pregnancy decrease.
