你是哪种小肚腩？2016找对方法甩掉小肚腩

STRESS TUMMY
压力肚

What Does It Look Like?
外观

This tummy sticks out at the front but it is softer and more saggy than a pot belly. It often starts under your bust and forms a soft roll - or a muffin top - which hangs over your waistband.
压力过大而导致的小肚腩向前凸起，却不如啤酒肚硬挺。这种小肚腩往往从胸部下方开始，像软面包一样挂在腰际。

What Causes It?
成因

Dr Marilyn Glenville, author of Fat Around the Middle says: ‘In stressful situations, the fight-or-flight hormone cortisol helps release sugar into the bloodstream so your body has the energy to escape or defend itself.
《肚腩解密》的作者玛丽琳·格伦维尔博士称：“人在高压力环境下，会触发‘战或逃’反应，身体会释放一种名为皮质醇的激素，帮助往血液中释放糖分，让身体有足够的能量应对危机。

‘But unless you do something physical, as your body is expecting you to, all that extra energy has nowhere to go. So it is simply re-deposited as fat.
“不过，除非你能按照身体的期望做一些体力活动，否则那些多余的能量是无处可去的。结果就只是转化为脂肪囤积起来。

‘If we are continually stressed,’ Dr Glenville adds, ‘the fat reserves go to the lower abdomen so they can be close to the liver and be quickly converted back into energy in another emergency.’
“如果你持续处于压力状态中，那脂肪便会堆积在离肝脏近的下腹。当你面对压力时，它们能通过肝脏，迅速转化为能量。”

How To Target It
甩肚秘诀

Reduce your stress levels with relaxation techniques such as deep-breathing and meditation and get more sleep so that your body no longer feels it has to prepare for attack.
多放松，常减压，不妨试试深呼吸或冥想。另外，好好睡上一觉也是舒缓身心的绝佳途径。

Eating little and often helps to stop the roll-coaster fluctuations of hormones, including cortisol, says Dr Glenville.
格伦维尔博士补充道，减少进食也能够稳定包括皮质醇在内的激素水平。
