The changes our bodies experience are the way our bodies communicate with us. Every change gives us an idea about our health status. We should pay attention to these changes, which serve as serious warnings. Especially if we don't pay attention to **regional fat accumulation**, we may face serious health problems in the future. Dr. Lida Çiteli explains the signals that fat accumulation in different areas of our body gives us about our health.
Fat in the Hip Area
Fat accumulation in the **hip area** is generally a complaint experienced by women. While genetic factors are effective in this condition, factors such as milk, gluten, birth control pills, and lack of physical activity can sometimes cause it. If you're experiencing a fat accumulation problem in your hip area without a genetic predisposition, you should adopt a more physically active lifestyle and make some changes to your eating routine.
Fat in the Arm Area
Disproportionately accumulated fat masses in our **arms** can occur due to hormonal changes in our body. If you are using medications that affect your hormone levels, you might encounter disproportionate fat tissue in your upper arms.
Fat in the Abdominal Area
The **abdominal area** is one of the regions where fat tissues accumulate in our body and causes the most aesthetic complaints. This fat accumulated in the abdominal area is called **Visceral Fat**. The biggest danger posed by visceral fat is its tendency to surround vital internal organs such as the pancreas, heart, liver, and kidneys. If you don't exercise sufficiently or eat irregularly, visceral fat formation in the abdominal region becomes inevitable. Visceral fat accumulation might indicate a decrease in your metabolism, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalances.
Lower Back and Waist Fat Accumulation
Fat in the **waist and lower back region** can stem from insufficient protein consumption. Carbohydrates, sugary drinks, processed foods, and many other factors can cause fat accumulation in the waist area. Fat accumulation developing in this region also has the potential to trigger fatty liver. Therefore, attention should be paid, and when regional fat accumulation occurs, medical help should be sought without delay.
