In today’s world, increasing rate of heart attacks is one of the major concerns around the globe. Several causes of cardiovascular risks include obesity, smoking, alcohol, high blood pressure, genetic issues etc. Increasing stomach fat, also known as ‘hidden fat’ in abdomen, can lead to worsening of the risk, an earlier study stated. Recently, another study stated that heart attack survivors having excess belly fat are at a higher risk of another heart attack. It was published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology. The study, which is termed to be the largest and most definitive ever conducted on the topic, followed more than 22,000 patients after their first heart attack.<\/p>\n

Most patients – 78 percent of men and 90 percent of women – were found to have abdominal obesity or waist circumference of 94 cm or above for men and 80 cm or above for women.<\/p>\n

“In our study, patients with increasing levels of abdominal obesity still had a raised risk for recurrent events despite being on therapies that lower traditional risk factors connected with abdominal obesity – such as anti-hypertensives, diabetes medication, and lipid-lowering drugs,” said lead researcher Dr. Hanieh Mohammadi, as per an ANI report.<\/p>\n

On that note, the fat<\/b>around the tummy<\/b>is the easiest to gain<\/b>and sadly, the toughest<\/b>to shed. There are a couple of factors that contribute towards belly fat and you need a combination of a good diet and regular exercise to get rid of the extra pounds. In some cases, the hidden reason for a bulging belly may be an unrelated factor like stress or sleep deprivation.<\/p>\n

One must also remember, in order to lose weight, calorie intake should be lesser than total daily calories burned. Here are some superfoods, which are easily available in every kitchen, that help in reducing belly fat.<\/p>\n
