Can eating avocados reduce belly fat in women? US study

One out of every three Chinese people has a "swim ring".

A recent American study brought good news: eating an avocado a day can help women redistribute body fat and reduce belly fat.

The study involved 105 overweight or obese adults and men, who were divided into two groups:

One group ate a meal containing fresh avocado every day, while the other group ate a meal with almost the same ingredients and calories but without avocado.

The trial lasted 12 weeks. The results showed that women who ate avocados every day had less visceral fat in their abdomens and a lower ratio of visceral fat to subcutaneous fat.

This suggests that dietary intervention such as avocado can regulate the redistribution of fat in women.

You should know that excessive accumulation of visceral fat in the abdomen is often closely related to metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

However, the study found no effect on fat distribution in men.

There have been many studies on how to lose belly fat.

For example, a study conducted by scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, etc. showed that Tai Chi can help improve "belly" and reduce waist circumference of middle-aged and elderly people.

Studies have shown that people who practice Tai Chi for 12 weeks can reduce their waist circumference by 1.8 cm compared to those who do not exercise, while those who do regular exercise can reduce their waist circumference by 1.3 cm compared to those who do not exercise.

If you eat avocados and practice Tai Chi at the same time, will your belly become smaller more obviously?
