It's good to do crunches to lose belly fat?

           One of the questions most frequently posed to us those who come to us for a personalized planning is: "Above all put me many sets of crunches to lose belly fat and abdominal mark, eh!"

           This short report aims to shed some light on one of the themes of the most talked about sports centers worldwide: localized fat loss.

           To begin to understand everything, I would give a brief description of the mechanism through which our body accumulates fat in either zone.

           At the time of birth, among the millions of cells that form the biological wonder that is our body, are ones that are called adipocytes or Customized Fat Loss cells, whose only function is to store our body fat.

           Thereafter, every time we eat more calories than we need to maintain vital functions and activities of daily living, our body converts extra energy into fat and stored in our fat cells that have an incredible ability to increase initial size exponentially.

           In the photograph can see the appearance of an adipocyte and the manner in which the fat stores.

           When your energy intake is equal to your daily requirement (eat the same amount of calories you expend), it is necessary that your fat cells expand to accommodate the excess. Only when you eat more calories than you need, is when extra energy is converted into fat and stored in your fat cells. This is the process by which your body stores fat.

           One can say that our system is designed to survive in the Paleolithic era in which they spent long periods with nothing to eat. But he lives in a consumer society like ours where food, not only is not scarce, but usually ingested in excessive amounts.

           A physiological level we are prepared, on the one hand, to survive for as long as possible under extreme circumstances of lack of food spending the least amount of energy, and secondly, to be able to accumulate energy reserves as fat in times of abundance.

           Therefore, when we eat more food than we need, our body is not able to reason as it should if it were well adapted to today saying: "I have eaten more than you should remove it since it does not need and, given the society in which I live, I will receive more food within a very short time. " And it really does is to interpret everything through reasoning Paleolithic, and what he says is "now I have eaten more than I need, but who knows what will happen tomorrow? So I'll save as fat stores this in my spare for me if I never eat at a time. "
