"Love your belly!" ? End with "bacon-way slogans"
Whenever I think about it, I've been trimmed from an early age to have "no stomach". I remember exactly how I stood in tights and piggy-gloss jersey on the ballet bar? five years old. "Belly in!", It sounded for the umpteenth time through the room. Like a military command, only untyped with the sounds of classical music. The ballet trainer, a very elegant and very upright sergeant, strode along the row again and again with a fiery Kotrolllblick. And then stopped with me. There he was again, that long, slender finger with the pointed lacquered fingernail that snapped on my little belly to drill into his heart: "BELLY PURE!"
The belly is a normal body part? damned!
"Having a stomach" is like insulting. It should actually every normal person have a stomach? just like two arms and two legs. Damn, what did he do to us? the belly? I tried to find articles on the internet that are positive about this part of the body. No chance. There are only headings such as "belly away", "abate belly fat", "fight the streaky bacon". I do not want to claim here that a more than 10 cm thick fat apron around the hips is healthy? an inwardly bulging body center, as we get to see them in advertising and social media constantly but not synonymous. These are no bellies. These are non-bellies.
Guys, we need the belly? he has a function!
But the belly is a normal body part. Basically, he is nothing but a nice little layer of body fat. Bacon with function, especially with us women. Because: Scientists have found that women are genetically better able to store fat. This ensures them vital reserves that the body creates for pregnancy and lactation.
It is also known that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays an important role during pregnancy and lactation. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is stored in the fatty tissue around the hips and thighs. The female body uses it for the development of the growing child's brain and then for breast milk. This is another reason why the female body begins to build up fat reserves as soon as girls enter puberty.
You are healthy ? be happy!
And that is precisely why it is so insane that we are all trimmed to constantly turn against this part of the body in its normal form. I mean, we do not want our fingers, knees or ears away! And yet: every time I look in the mirror, I also see "a belly". Despite optimal BMI.
Fortunately, I have a head in addition to a stomach. And he's starting to tell me more and more: you're healthy? be happy! I think I'll believe it completely, someday. That tells me my gut feeling.
