What everyone knows wrong – This is what actually causes the beer belly, the problem is bigger than you think

The term “beer belly” often associates with men, but in fact it can develop in anyone, and – contrary to folk wisdom – it is not about drinking beer, but about the distribution of body fat.
In Hungary, one in three adults is overweight and another 28.5% are obese, so nearly two million people struggle with significant extra pounds. However, excess weight alone is just one of the problems: the critical question is where the fat is deposited. Abdominal (central) obesity, commonly known as beer belly, carries a much higher risk than the hip region (gynoid) type.
