Abdominal muscles - the weather vane of beauty and health

Abs - the weather vane of beauty and health

Having good abdominal muscles is not only for beauty, but also for health. Abs are very important muscles to us, which can help us stand straight, ensure the health of our backs, and affect the way we exercise. We know that strong abdominal muscles and healthy back muscles are very important for our daily activities. Whether it is at the desk, going out for a walk, or even every move in life is inseparable from abdominal muscles. Whether the waist and abdomen are good or not is also one of the key factors that restrict exercise ability.

    Lack of exercise and older people will have abdominal wall looseness. Although this is not a disease, it is the cause of many diseases.

   Due to weak abdominal muscles, the abdomen bulge forward and the center of gravity of the body will move forward. In order to adapt to this change, the lumbar anterior process increases, and the muscles in the lower back are stretched excessively, which can easily cause strain and cause "functional low back pain". People with loose abdominal walls often accumulate too much abdominal fat, which increases the burden of blood circulation, and the abdominal cavity is more prone to constipation, affecting the digestive and absorption function, and causing indigestion. Some people also have constipation due to the abdominal muscles being unable to contract during defecation.

    In gym exercises, strong abdominal muscles can help exercisers stabilize the spine so that they will not be easily injured. Through abdominal muscle training, the strength of the lower back can be strengthened, the pain in the back can be reduced, and the body can be protected. Another benefit of strengthening abdominal muscles is to reduce the most likely place on the body to accumulate fat and fat, while reducing the burden on the heart.

   Compared with the muscles of the whole body, abdominal muscles are the focus, including four groups of muscles, including rectus abdomen, external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles and transverse abdominal muscles. The reason is very simple. The decrease of abdominal muscles and the disappearance of elasticity will inevitably cause fat accumulation, resulting in loose and bulging of the abdomen, commonly known as general belly. The fat buried under general belly is likely to flow to the blood vessels in the heart and brain, resulting in fat deposition of blood vessels and thickening of the tube wall. It is medically called atherosclerosis, so obesity is more likely to cause high levels than other parts. Fatal diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, etc., shortening a person's life expectancy becomes a natural thing. A research report from the Centers for Disease Control says that at least 15 diseases that can cause death are directly related to abdominal obesity. If the subcutaneous fat in the abdominal area exceeds 15-25% of the normal standard, the mortality rate will increase by 30%, especially the risk of sudden death greatly increases - the longer the belt, the shorter the life expectancy lies in this.

Putting aside health factors, both men and women dream of having a flat abdomen. Men want to have beautiful 6 to 8 abdominal muscles, while women hope that a flat abdomen can create a beautiful curve for the whole body. For women, the method of exercising abdomen is a feasible auxiliary method to treat and prevent gynecological diseases.
