Find out what causes belly fat, the health risks it poses for men and what you can do to lose the extra pounds.<br /> By Mayo Clinic staff <br /><br />Michael Jensen, M.D. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />If you're carrying a few extra pounds, you're not alone. But this is one case where following the crowd isn't a good idea. Carrying extra weight — especially belly fat — can be risky.<br /> <br />Michael Jensen, M.D., an endocrinology specialist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., answers common questions about belly fat in men.<br /> <br />Why is belly fat a concern for men?<br /> <br />People who gain belly fat are at greater risk of serious health problems, even death, than are people who accumulate fat in other areas — and men are more likely than women to gain weight around the waist. Regardless of your overall weight, having a large amount of belly fat increases your risk of:<br /> Heart disease<br /> High blood pressure<br /> Stroke<br /> Some types of cancer<br /> Type 2 diabetes<br /> Insulin resistance<br /> High triglycerides<br /> Low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol<br /> Metabolic syndrome<br /> Sleep apnea<br /> <br />How can you tell if you have too much belly fat?<br /> <br />Your waist size is a good indicator of whether you have too much belly fat. Although measurements that compare your hip and waist circumference (waist-to-hip ratio) or compare your height and weight (body mass index) are more precise, your waist size alone can give you a good estimate. For most men, the risk factors for heart disease and other diseases increase with a waist size greater than 40 inches (102 centimeters).<br /> <br />To measure your waist: <br />Place a tape measure around your bare abdomen just above your hipbone.<br /> Pull the tape measure until it fits snugly around you but doesn't push into your skin.<br /> Make sure the tape measure is level all the way around.<br /> Relax, exhale and measure your waist — no sucking in your belly!<br /> <br />Does age play a role in gaining belly fat?<br /> <br />As you age, you lose muscle — especially if you're not physically active. Muscle loss can slow the rate at which your body burns calories. In turn, if you don't limit your calories or increase your physical activity, you may gain weight.<br /> Next page<br />(1 of 2)<br />See Also<br /><br /><br />Health issues for gay men: Prevention first<br /> Male menopause: Myth or reality?<br /> Men's health: Preventing the top 7 threats<br /> Penis health: Identify and prevent problems<br /> Kegel exercises for men: Understand the benefits<br /> Heart-healthy diet: 8 steps to prevent heart disease<br /> Testosterone therapy: Key to male vitality?<br /> New dad: Tips to help manage stress<br /> Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity<br /> Cosmetic surgery: What to know beforehand<br /> Dermabrasion<br /> Is a home sperm test useful?<br /> Men respond more aggressively than women to stress<br /> Stop multitasking and learn how to focus<br /> Healthy heart for life: Avoiding heart disease<br /> Weight gain: Inevitable as you age?<br /> Couvade syndrome: Is sympathetic pregnancy real?<br /> Testicular microlithiasis: Is it associated with testicular cancer?<br /> Health screening guidelines<br /> Enlarged prostate — Does diet play a role?<br /> Depression in men less frequent than women<br /><br /><br />References<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br />0.<br /><br /><br />MC00054 Feb. 5, 2011<br /><br />© 1998-2012 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER).

He is ready to lead this nation," Mr Bush will say. <br /><br />He will also speak of Mr McCain's life as "a story of service above self" and emphasise the "independence and character" he showed in backing the administration's "surge" strategy of pouring more forces into Iraq. <br /><br />Former Senator Fred Thompson, who ran against Mr McCain in the party's primaries, will talk about Mr McCain's commitment to reforming Washington and call upon Americans to "step up, stand up and put 'country first' with John McCain." <br /><br />Gustav appeal <br /><br />Most of the first day's political events were suspended out of respect for communities affected by Gustav. <br /><br />Instead, Mr McCain's wife, Cindy, and First Lady Laura Bush made calls to support those under threat. <br /><br /><br /><br />McCain on Palin's announcement<br />Mrs Bush told delegates that such events transcended party politics and reminded people that they were Americans first. <br /><br />"Events in the Gulf Coast region have changed the focus of our attention and the first priority is to ensure the safety and the well being of those living in the Gulf Coast region," she said. <br /><br />Gustav was downgraded to a tropical storm after making landfall on Monday west of New Orleans, where hundreds of thousands of people had been evacuated. <br /><br />The hurricane came three years after Hurricane Katrina struck, killing more than 1,800 people and resulting in huge damage to the city and its surrounding area. President Bush was strongly criticised over his handling of the crisis. <br /><br />Palin talking point <br /><br />The BBC's Adam Brookes in St Paul says the Republican Party convention is now getting down to work after the uncertainty brought on by Hurricane Gustav. <br /><br />Tuesday's events will focus on Mr McCain, a concentrated piece of political image building with a keynote speech from Joe Lieberman, the Democrat-turned-independent senator, who has decided to support the party's candidate, our correspondent says. <br /><br /> <br />Sarah Palin's announcement has so far overshadowed the convention<br /><br /><br />Wife's role in the show<br />Republican Convention diary<br />Teenage pregnancy in spotlight <br /><br />President Bush will also address the convention via a live video feed from Washington. He cancelled his planned opening night speech amid concerns that overt political campaigning would play badly with voters at a time of potential crisis. <br /><br />But many Republicans will be glad he is not here in St Paul in person, our correspondent says, and much of this week will be about defining Mr McCain as very different to his unpopular predecessor. <br /><br />Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska who was presented as Mr McCain's choice for running mate on Friday and is facing an ethics investigation back in her home state, made the announcement of her unmarried daughter's pregnancy on Monday. <br /><br />She said Bristol, 17, planned to have the baby and would be getting married. <br /><br />Mrs Palin, who is opposed to abortion, said her daughter would "have the love and support of our entire family" and appealed for privacy for the young couple. <br /><br />The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Bristol's boyfriend, named as 18-year-old Levi Johnston, would be joining the Palin family at the convention in Minnesota. <br /><br />The AP quotes Mr Johnston's mother, Sherry, as saying he had been put under no pressure to marry and that the pair had been planning to wed before they knew she was pregnant. <br /><br />Our correspondent says Mrs Palin's selection as vice-presidential candidate has caused great excitement among social conservatives and evangelical Christians here. <br /><br />But across the broader Republican Party there seems to be some unease - she is an unknown quantity, and when she is finally brought out on to the convention stage on Wednesday, many McCain supporters will be crossing their fingers and hoping she performs, he adds. <br /><br />The 72-year-old Arizona senator is expected to formally accept his candidacy in a prime-time speech on Thursday evening. <br /><br />The speech is deemed to be among the most important events of the campaign for his chances of winning the White House in November. <br /><br />Meanwhile on Monday, police in St Paul used pepper spray as they arrested more than 100 protesters, some of whom threw bottles and broke windows. Many of those involved in the violence identified themselves to the Associated Press as anarchists. <br /><br />Several thousand anti-war marchers had earlier demanded the return of US troops from Iraq. <br /><br /><br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />What is your reaction to the Republican convention?

All food cravings are diet-killers, but the ones that hit you late at night seem to be the toughest to overcome. What's worse, late-night eating has been shown to be a leading cause of weight gain. Your body has much less need for calories at night, so anything you eat is more likely to be stored as fat.<br /><br />According to a recent USDA study, overweight adults tend to eat significantly more calories at night than normal-weight adults, but they eat only slightly more calories at other times of the day. Another recent study from the University of Texas showed that it's much easier to overeat at night, mainly because late-night snacking seems less satisfying than snacking earlier in the day. Other studies have found that many people eat close to 50% of their daily calories at night!<br /><br />Obviously, controlling your nighttime eating is vital if your goal is natural weight loss and better health. Of course, it's easier said than done. Here are some very effective tips for curbing food cravings at night:<br /><br />1. Eat breakfast -- It's been proven that people who skip breakfast have a much harder time losing weight. By eating a big, healthy breakfast in the morning you'll give your body the energy it needs and dramatically reduce hunger and cravings later in the day.<br /><br />2. Eat several small, healthy snacks and meals throughout the day -- People who eat small meals and snacks every few hours, earlier in the day, tend to feel better and have more energy. They also tend to eat fewer overall calories, especially at night. Keeping yourself from getting hungry may be the best craving-stopping technique out there!<br /><br />3. Eat a "healthy-sized" dinner -- Don't make the mistake of eating too small of a dinner. You might think you're saving calories but you're just setting yourself up for hunger and food cravings later in the evening. Eat a good, medium-sized dinner that includes lots of high-fiber foods (like veggies, salads, and whole-grain breads, pastas, etc.). It's best to eat more protein and less fat and carbs at this meal because it's less likely to be stored as fat.<br /><br />4. Keep your mind occupied at night -- Many people have a bad habit of eating when they're bored. They get home at night and "zone out" in front of the TV, often with a bag of chips or cookies at their side. It's called "mindless snacking" and it's a huge cause of weight gain, especially in America. Avoid the TV all together and replace it with something more interesting, like reading a good book, writing letters to friends, or doing a favorite hobby.<br /><br />5. If you need to snack at night, choose healthy options -- It is possible to snack late at night without piling on the calories (and the fat). Fresh veggies and fruit are good, great-tasting options. So is low-fat, low-sugar yogurt and cheese. If you need something a little more "satisfying" have a piece of whole-grain toast with a small amount of natural peanut butter on top, a handful of mixed nuts, or a bowl of whole-grain cereal with low-fat milk. Finally, some people find that a cup of decaffeinated herbal tea really helps take their mind off food altogether.FEZZIWIGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08030042928230189100noreply@blogger.com0
