Each of us accumulates fat in different places; some have issues in the arms, others in the abdomen, and some in the hips. Our friends from
ActitudFEM propose this change of habits to reduce hip fat. Remember to support your efforts with a balanced diet and exercise (although if you just stop drinking these, we are sure you will see a difference).
According to a study by the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, excessive consumption of sugary drinks in women is associated with weight gain, accumulation of fat in the hips, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The study specifies that the large amount of calories ingested through liquids accumulates in cells called adipocytes, causing them to grow as sugar intake increases.
The sugar that generates fat in the hips is usually found in the form of sucrose, lactose, and fructose, ingredients that are found in large quantities in the following drinks:
Sugary Juices
A study from the University of California reveals that excessive consumption of this beverage is associated with the risk of obesity. The intake of sucrose without fiber is related to metabolic syndrome and body fat accumulation. Ideally, you should eat the whole fruit.
Sodas
An article from the Harvard School of Public Health reveals that half a liter of soda contains between 15 to 18 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than 240 calories; while over a liter and a half of a cola drink contains more than 700 calories.
Energy Drinks
This type of liquid is one of the main sources of calories, providing more than 226 per day.
Alcohol
A study from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition at the German Institute of Human Nutrition details that this type of liquid contributes to the accumulation of body fat in women.
Coffee
The portal Livestrong.com specifies that this beverage increases the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, which affects mood and sleep. When the body does not get appropriate rest, it increases fat production in the cells.
By reducing the intake of these drinks, you will not only avoid the accumulation of fat in the hips but also improve your quality of life by decreasing the risk of obesity; an ailment that harms your appearance as well as your physical and mental health.
Don’t forget to include small portions of all food groups for a balanced diet, as well as drink two liters of water a day.
