7x this makes your waist thicker

7x this makes your waist thicker

Not only a lot of unhealthy food is the recipe for a belly. There are also unexpected pitfalls that can cause fat rolls.

1. You live on a busy road
Regular exposure to traffic noise makes you 29 percent more likely to have wider hips. According to a study in Occupational &Environmental Medicine, people who constantly hear cars, trains, or airplanes are more likely to have abdominal fat. The constant traffic noise triggers the production of the hormone cortisol. And according to the research, that is associated with the production of fat around your waist. Cortisol is a stress hormone that constantly releases sugar into your blood (energy to be able to flee in an emergency), so that your fat burning does not start. Because you will only burn fat when your sugars are gone. Do you live on a busy road or under a flight path? Then put on classical music at home. According to scientists at the London Center for Performance Science, calm melodies lower the cortisol level in your blood. Noise canceling earplugs are also an option.
