你是哪种小肚腩？2016找对方法甩掉小肚腩

PEAR TUMMY
梨形肚

What Does It Look Like?
外观

Even if you have a slim waist, you have a stubborn roll of fat around your bikini line along with a bigger bottom and saddle-bags on your hips, creating a pear-shaped look.
如果你属于梨形身材，腰部虽少有赘肉，但下腹却带着一圈厚厚的脂肪，臀部肥大下垂，远看呈梨形。

What Causes It?
成因

The reason for this weight gain is that some women suffer oestrogen dominance which can be genetic but may also be triggered by a range of complaints which unbalance the female sex hormones.
导致梨形身材的“元凶”，无疑是过多的雌性激素。有些女性天生如此，有些则受疾病困扰，导致体内激素紊乱。

Conditions include endometriosis, in which tissue that normally grows inside the uterus grows outside it and pumps out more oestrogen, and fibroids which are benign tumours of muscular tissue which grow inside the womb.
常见病症如子宫内膜异位，即子宫内组织异常肥大，甚至长至宫外，分泌大量雌性激素，诱发良性子宫肌瘤。

Endometriosis affects up to one in ten women of childbearing age while three out of four women age 30 to 50 will develop fibroids at some stage.
十分之一的待产妇女深受子宫内膜异位之苦。而在30至50岁的妇女中，有四分之三有子宫肌瘤病史。

Women may also be exposed to too much oestrogen because they ingest high levels of the synthetic versions of the hormone in some farmed meats, water or residues from chemicals in plastics and water or from taking the contraceptive pill.
另外，蓄养肉类、饮用水、塑料制品、避孕药中均含大量合成激素，摄入过多也会导致体内雌性激素水平飙升。

Oestrogen is responsible for laying down the feminine curves of a woman when she goes through puberty and creating more rounded buttocks and thighs and other fat stores ready for when she has a baby.
女性在青春期时，分泌大量雌性激素，身形因而变得婀娜多姿。而待产期间，雌性激素能够促进脂肪合成，让她们的臀部与大腿更为丰满。

If the fat cells in these areas, which are very sensitive to female sex hormones, continue to be over-stimulated, the weight will continue to pile on, giving a woman a pear-shape.
激素水平持续走高，脂肪不断堆积，体重便相应上升，梨形身材也由此形成了。

After menopause, unless a woman is on hormone replacement therapy, she will tend to lose this fat on her hips and thighs leaving her looking more apple, than pear shaped.
只要不接受激素替代治疗，那么女性在绝经后臀部和大腿的脂肪就会减少，变成苹果形身材。

How To Target It
甩肚秘诀

Avoid foods high in saturated fats which have been linked to higher levels of oestrogen.
少吃富含饱和脂肪的食物，因为它们会提高雌性激素水平。

Eating lots of tough-to-digest fibre, like seeds, and green leafy vegetables like spinach, can also help as it binds itself to extra oestrogen in your digestive tract and helps to remove it from the body.
多吃坚果等粗纤维食物。菠菜等绿叶蔬菜也是“脂肪杀手”，能分解过多的雌性激素，通过肠道排出体外。
