Patient discussion about bellies.

Q. Why is there ‘beer belly’? Why are overweight people that drink a lot of beer regularly said to have ‘beer belly’? Beer doesn’t seem to have so many calories – it’s not sweet

A. Beer may be partly to blame for what are commonly called beer bellies, but it isn't the only culprit. Many men who never drink beer have a bulging gut. And some beer-lovers have those coveted "six-pack" abs. The real reason too many American men carry around beer bellies is that they consume too many calories and too much fat. Drinking a few beers a day can add a significant number of calories to your diet. The average adult drinker gets about 10% of his total daily calories from alcoholic beverages. Heavy drinkers may get up to half their calories from alcohol. With most foods, the calories we consume are either used as fuel or get stored as fat. So theoretically, adding a couple of 120-calorie glasses of beer to a high-calorie meal would contribute to a beer belly. For the full article: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/42/1685_50288.htm

A. i have to agree with william- swimming is a wonderful way to coll your body and loose weight. you can also run in the park during the winter, or skiing naked :)

Q. Is it healthy to have a soft belly? I do not have a huge belly, but it is round and soft with no muscle tone with a fat layer.

A. The fat is more problematic than the muscle tone, and it's considered as a risk factor for heart diseases and others. Low muscle tone or strength of the muscles of the abdomen may lead to problems like hyperlordosis (lower back that is too curved backward) but these are usually treated, if necessary by strengthening these muscles, so usually it doesn't pose a substantial risk.
