代谢型肚腩
What Does It Look Like?
外观
It’s not just your tummy that’s fat, although that will be the biggest part of you. Your whole body is big, including your arms and legs, giving you a puffy, marshmallowy look.
有代谢型肚腩的人,不但肚子肥大,而且全身浮肿,手脚壮硕。
What Causes It?
成因
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck which makes a hormone called thyroxine, which controls how fast you process the calories in food.
每个人的颈部都有一条蝶形腺体,叫做甲状腺。其分泌的甲状腺素是人体代谢的“控制器。
However about one in 13 women have a condition called hypothyroidism which means they make less of this hormone.
然而,十三分之一的女性患有甲状腺机能减退症,体内的甲状腺素明显不足。
Although the causes are not completely understood, it may be caused by the ageing process or because the gland is attacked by the body’s own immune system.
甲状腺机能减退症的成因尚不得而知,但人们普遍认为其与机体衰老有关,另外,人体自身的免疫系统也有可能攻击甲状腺。
Endocrinologist Professor Ashley Grossman, of London’s St Bartholomew’s Hospital says: ‘The thyroid is responsible for your overall metabolism. If you have hypothyroidism, you’re not burning up all the calories consumed, so the extra is stored and gets deposited all over the body as fat.’
