Belly fat is the excess fat or weight that deposits around the centre of the body over time. As with other types of body fat, belly fat is caused by lack of exercise and a poor diet; bingeing on sugary foods, in particular, can cause weight gain, slow down metabolism, and lower the body’s ability to burn fat. Smoking, drinking alcohol, not getting enough sleep, stress, and genetics are other causes of belly fat. Hormones and age play their part too, and not only do women tend to gain more fat than men as they age, but body fat distribution changes during menopause cause more fat to be deposited in the abdominal area.
