How do you lose weight based on your body type? Science explains it to you!

Depending on the area of your body where you tend to accumulate fat, you can determine the factors that contribute to your weight gain and adjust your lifestyle accordingly to reduce it.

In fact, there are 6 types of weight gain defined by the areas of the body most affected. By determining yours, you'll know what needs to be done to fix it...

1. Eating too much food

This is the most common reason for weight gain. The amount of food eaten daily is too much compared to what is actually needed. So, the body starts to accumulate fat and excess sugars. Solution: eat less and exercise 30 minutes a day.

1. Stress and anxiety
   Stress, nervousness, and anxiety have a negative impact on health in general and particularly on the stomach and digestion. These states encourage eating sweets, and sweets prevent normal digestion. Solution: take part in activities that are conducive to relaxation (exercise, reading, yoga, walks, etc.) and resist the temptation for sweets.

2. Hormonal instability and prolonged sitting
   Hormones sometimes have this annoying tendency to play dirty tricks on females, particularly during adolescence and menopause. This phenomenon can contribute to weight gain. When it is concentrated in the buttocks and thighs (the famous saddlebags), it can also be the result of sitting for prolonged or frequent periods. Solution: exercise, yet again, and avoid alcohol and tobacco.

3. Atherogenic metabolism
   Metabolism is said to be atherogenic when it tends to store all kinds of things: plaque, carbohydrates, lipids... This often translates into a high accumulation of fat in the stomach area and can cause hypercholesterolemia. Solution: take part in moderate but regular physical activity, and avoid foods that are high in fat.

4. Poor blood circulation
   Poor blood circulation causes the legs to swell, especially during pregnancy. It is often hereditary and causes fat to accumulate in the lower part of the body. Solution: run 3 times a week, and use the stairs instead of the elevator.

5. Physical inactivity
   Inactivity and irregular meals promote weight gain around the waist and in nearby regions, especially if the affected muscle groups were previously active. Solution: exercise more and eat at established times, without snacking.
