00:00Belly fat is the most dangerous type of fat that you can have on your body,
00:03because it s directly related to a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease,
00:06diabetes, and cancer. And unfortunately, it's also one of the easiest areas of the body for
00:11fat to be stored. So how do we know where all this belly fat is coming from? Well,
00:14one of the biggest reasons for an increase in belly fat is a decrease in physical activity.
00:17So if you used to be active and then you had a period of time where you were UNS active,
00:21that can cause a buildup of belly fat. Another reason could be an increase in stress,
00:25which causes a hormonal imbalance and can lead to an increase in belly fat.
00:28And lastly, it could be that you're not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to an
00:32increase in belly fat, because when we don't get enough sleep, our bodies produce more of the
00:36stress hormone cortisol, which can make us gain belly fat. So if you're gaining belly fat but not
00:40pounds, it's likely that you're going through a stressful situation, you're not sleeping enough,
00:44or you're not as physically active as you used to be.
