■ Which part of your hip, abdomen, chest, or face do you lose weight first?

The answer is the face. Then you lose weight in the order of chest-abdominal-hip. The body has beta receptors that help break down fat faster, mainly in the upper body, such as the face. Conversely, alpha-2 (2)2) receptors that inhibit lipid decomposition are more present in the lower body part. In women, fat for childbirth or breastfeeding is easily accumulated in the hip and thigh areas due to the activity of sex hormones such as estrogen. And alpha 2 receptors are distributed a lot in the lower body, losing body and belly fat first, and men are the slowest. Fattening is the opposite, with lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme involved in fat decomposition and storage, varying the active site depending on age and gender. Therefore, it accumulates in the hips and thighs in adolescence and in the abdomen in middle age.
