The doctor named the cause of the beer belly

A "beer belly" appears due to excessive intake of calories from food combined with low physical activity. Anastasia Lebedeva, associate professor of the Department of Dietetics at ROSBIOTECH University, gastroenterologist, told about this on Monday, September 8.

She clarified that beer consists of 85% carbohydrates, and a bottle of this drink has about the same number of calories as a piece of bread and butter.

"Regular beer consumption, especially in the evening, can lead to a rapid accumulation of visceral fat. Beer consumption is often combined with fatty and salty foods, and the number of calories consumed in one evening can easily increase to 1,000 or more," Lebedeva said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the gastroenterologist, it is acceptable to consume no more than 200-300 ml of beer per week against the background of the absence of disorders in the body. Lebedeva also advised to abandon the usual snacks for beer, opting for low-fat fish or meat with a little salt.

"Persistent abdominal growth can cause serious health problems that are easier to correct when detected at an early stage," the doctor concluded.
