What Is A Pot Belly?

A pot belly is, simply, excess belly fat. Generally, fat around the stomach area that’s more than one inch thick will appear as a “pot belly”. Weak stomach muscles, when combined with excess belly fat, usually make a pot belly appear more prominent.

What Causes A Pot Belly?

Excess body fat is the result of consuming too many calories, not burning enough calories, or — usually — a combination of the two. Individuals who consume high-fat and high-calorie foods and lead generally sedentary lifestyles are likely to develop excess fat on the body, including around the abdomen, where it may appear as a pot belly. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to storing fat around their midsection. Men are more likely to develop a pot belly, as women tend to store excess fat around the hips and thighs; however, both men and women can develop a pot belly.

How To Treat A Pot Belly Without Surgery

Solution 1: Diet Changes The first way to address a pot belly, as with any excess weight, is to address your diet. Restrict or eliminate foods that are high in calories but relatively low in nutrients, such as red meat, high-fat cheese or dairy products, and processed foods and snacks such as potato chips and candy. Opt for a diet that’s higher in fibre-rich foods and whole grains, and choose high-protein, low-fat foods such as fish, eggs, and lean meats such as chicken. Drink plenty of water, and avoid sugary beverages such as juices and sodas, and alcohol. Solution 2: Exercise In order to lose excess weight, it’s important to burn calories. Belly fat can be stubborn, so a fitness regimen that combines strength-training exercises that target the midsection with cardiovascular activity is recommended. Sit-ups or crunches, Russian twists, planks, and mountain climbers are all exercises that target and engage the core (abdominal) muscles. For cardiovascular activity, running, cycling, or hiking will help get your heart pumping, as will the use of exercise machines such as treadmills and stationary bicycles, or elliptical machines, which offer a great, low-impact workout for those who may have back or knee issues.

Why does a pannus develop?

What Causes Pannus? Rheumatoid arthritis causes the extra tissue growth (pannus) in your joints. Serious pannus formations develop only if you don't get treatment for RA or if your doctor can't find a way to treat it effectively.

webmd.com - Pannus and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): What is it? - WebMD

What Is Pannus? Pannus is a type of extra growth in your joints that can cause pain, swelling, and damage to your bones, cartilage, and other tissue. It most often results from rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disease that affects your joints, though other inflammatory diseases are also sometimes to blame. In the past few years, advances in RA treatment have made pannus far less likely than it has been in the past. Pannus Formations A delicate membrane called the synovium lines each joint in your body. It connects to cartilage, the soft, spongy material at the ends of your bones that helps protect them. In a healthy joint, the synovium lubricates the joint, supplies nutrients, and even helps make building materials like collagen. But in some people with RA, it can start to grow too much. This extra synovial tissue can thicken and grow into areas that it shouldn’t. Special immune system cells (T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and others) make up much of these new clumps of tissue. Your doctor might call them pannus formations. This type of growth (your doctor might call it synovial hypertrophy) can cause stiff joints. If it goes on too long, it can damage bone, cartilage, and other tissue. In some ways these growths seem to act like a tumor. But pannus isn’t cancer and can’t spread to other areas of the body.
