Heads up, fellas—your Beer belly is more dangerous than you thinkFROM Homer Simpson to post-Thanos snap Thor and maybe even your dad, pretty much every guy knows what a beer belly is.
The noticeable lump of excess fat around the midsection has been the butt of many jokes and gentle ribbings over the years, to the point that some guys even jokingly wear it as a badge of honor. But how much do we really know about beer bellies?
According to Aragon, belly fat is also linked to a higher risk for various kinds of health problems for guys including heart disease, erectile dysfunction, fatty liver disease, and Type 2 diabetes. A study conducted by the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that men with a beer gut faced an astonishing 87 percent risk of death compared to men with the same body mass index but a normal waist-to-hip ratio.
“Eat a healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, while limiting your intake of processed food and saturated fats. Saturated fats cause a greater increase in the amount of fat in the liver and abdomen region,” says Aragon. “So, it isn’t just alcohol you need to cut down on, but also animal products like beef and pork.”
