In this article, I want to expound of the dangers of having excessive belly fat that looks a nine months pregnancy, without processes the symptoms of pregnancy.
What is potbelly?
This is a condition of having a large stomach that pushes out.It is also a condition whereby the abdomen is swollen.
Alcoholic beverages
Alcoholic beverages like beers,liquors and wine are made and fermented by a product called yeast. Yeast on the other hand,is used by bakers in baking process to enhance or increase the size of a dough. Beer is a highly consumed beverage all over the world, which contains a lot of calories and if a person takes in more calories than they can burn,the person is at risk of gaining excess fat in the stomach; instead of the body to burn fat it burns alcohol.
The consumption of alcohol alone, cannot bring about excess fat in the stomach. The reason is this,most people have a kind of unhealthy eating lifestyle. By unhealthy eating lifestyle, am not just talking about junk food but the supporters (meat).There are people that mount a small portion of food with 3-10 meats,notwithstanding the fact that eating too many meat is detrimental to health. Instead of eating a considerable potion of food, the person or persons eat a nosh-up.
Fact:Alcohol increases appetite for food.
The questions at hand is: why does most beer drinkers do not have potbellies and non beer drinkers do have potbellies?.
As I said earlier, our eating lifestyle is one of the causes of potbelly. In addition to what I said earlier, most people who eat late at night and goes to bed right away is at risk of gaining belly fat,constipation,indigestion or acid influx.
I am not saying that one shouldn't eat late at night,but eat and wait for at least 3hour before going to bed.

Most people might say,I eat late but I don't have potbelly.
That's true,just like all other alcoholic drinkers, who do not have potbellies. It's not as if the body doesn't store fat in most humans,it does. The part of the body were it stores fat depends on the persons hormones, sex and age.

Men are at high risk of gain potbelly than women; fat in women are evenly distributed, but as for men it is stored in the belly region,mostly depending on genetic.
Potbelly may lead to:
High blood pressure (high BP)
Heart disease
Type II diabetes.
