[해석]

뱃살은 여러 가지 이유로 좋지 않다. 일단 미관상 보기 안 좋다. 그리고 건강에도 악영향을 미친다. 나이가 들면서 뱃살이 걷잡을 수 없이 늘어나기 때문에 많은 사람들은 걱정을 하게 된다. 지방을 저장하는 체내 단백질이 나이가 들면서 복부에 활성화되어 그렇다.
다이어트를 하는 사람들 대부분은 뱃살을 가장 먼저 빼고 싶어 한다. 뱃살을 빼기 위해서는 소식하는 것이 가장 좋다. 지방을 연소시키는 데는 유산소 운동이 가장 효과적이다. 뱃살을 빼고 나서 근력 운동을 하면, 복근을 키울 수 있다. 선명한 복근은 많은 사람들의 로망이다.
