What Are The Causes Of Stubborn Fat?
Stubborn fat is caused by genetic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors influencing how and where the body stores fat. These areas tend to have higher alpha receptors, slowing fat breakdown.
Genetics
Genetic factors determine how and where your body stores fat, making some areas more resistant to weight loss.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal imbalances, especially in hormones like insulin and cortisol, can accumulate fat in specific areas.
Age
As metabolism slows, the body stores more fat, particularly in stubborn areas.
Diet
Consuming more calories than the body needs leads to fat accumulation, which can be challenging to lose.
Physical Inactivity
A sedentary lifestyle reduces the body’s ability to burn fat, leading to persistent fat deposits.
