 Hey! How are You all??? Hope you are doing well. Have ever think about potbellies of our Indian men???potbellies were become quite common for most of the Indian men. Have you ever noticed a married men without belly fat in your surrounding?? Mostly Not!! Right! Because getting a ballon stomach after marriage is become a tradition in our Indian society. Technically this potbelly is  technically termed as "abdominal obesity". This potbelly is quite common in urban areas as compared with rural areas. The prevalence of abdominal obesity in the country was found to be 12% in men. 

5 Most Common Reasons for Belly Fat in Indian Men: 

                                                                    1.Over Eating:

 The primary reason for getting potbelly is eating  excessively. Overeating means taking taking more calories than the required. This extra calories needs to be burned else it is stored in the form of fat.  whenever we eat excessively the fat get deposited around our waist and abdominal parts and it leads to abdominal obesity(potbelly).

                             2.Lack of Physical Activity:

A lack of exercise and physical activity can elevate the risk of obesity. Nowadays, a sedentary lifestyle is more prevalent than ever. According to the World Health Organization, only one in three individuals engages in little or no exercise. Lack of physical activity prevents us from using the energy provided by the food we consume, leading to the storage of excess energy as fat in our bodies. People work on their laptops while sitting at a desk for long hours. Children use gadgets rather than playing in the park.

                              3.Genetics:

     Genetics can play a role in having obesity. Twin studies                         have found the heritability of obesity to be approximately 40% to 75%.          Up to 500 obesity-related genes have been recognized in humans. Most of the time, many genes interact with environmental factors to influence obesity, but rarely a clear pattern of inherited obesity can be found. This is called monogenic obesity and is caused by a variant of a single gene.

                             .

                                                                            4.High Oil Food Consumption:

As we know that most of the Indian food and curries is mostly contains oil as core ingredient. each and every curry that we make should contains at least 10ml of oil. So, this increased the oil consumption of our people.

                                                                           5. Eating Street Foods:

 Street foods are often made from refined wheat flour devoid of fiber. They also made with cheap ingredients that are processed or high in fat in order to keep the cost low. Studies have shown streets foods such as sandwiches or fried chicken to be significantly associated with increased weight and body mass index (BMI) which further leads to obesity.
