Summer presents an excellent opportunity to focus on fitness goals. It's essential to stay hydrated and opt for foods that can help burn belly fat in the heat. Have you ever wondered about the reasons behind the protruding bellies in many Indian men or the increasing occurrence of larger midsections in Indian women? Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor and Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals, recently addressed these health issues on his social media channels, providing valuable insights and solutions.
Dr. Eric Berg highlighted several factors contributing to abdominal fat, focusing on the shift towards Westernized diets characterized by increased consumption of ultra-processed foods. These foods are laden with sugar, seed oils, and refined starches, including synthetic sugars like glucose syrup. According to Dr. Berg, these dietary choices can trigger gut inflammation and weaken the stomach lining. This weakened state creates an environment conducive to the growth of harmful bacteria such as H. pylori, known to cause conditions such as gastritis and ulcers. Additionally, H. pylori's production of ammonia to neutralize stomach acid can exacerbate digestive issues and elevate the risk of developing related diseases.
