What are the Reasons for Double Chin?
There are many reasons for the double chin. Don’t think that if you are not obese you won’t get a double chin! Double chin is not always because of the overweight. Many people who are below obesity can also get a double chin and hence the reason for double chin is not just the fat!
Reasons for Double Chin are;
- Belly Fat – If you have belly fat you are prone to getting a double chin! The flatter is the belly, much toner is your jawline. When you get rid of belly fat, you will automatically get rid of a double chin.
- Age – As people age, the skin around the neck becomes saggy which leads to a double chin.
- Loose Skin – If the skin is not tight around the neck then that causes a double chin.
- Phubbing – When you use your phone with your head down, neck muscles droop because of the pressure on the neck. When you use the phone in this position for a longer time, that causes a double chin.
- Lack of Facial Movements – If there are no facial movements then a double chin is likely to occur. Chewing for a longer time, exercising facial muscles etc. might help to tone the neck muscles.
- Thyroid: People who have thyroid problems are prone to double chin symptoms. This cannot be controlled by any exercise unless you control the hormone.
- Genetics: Genes also play a major role in deciding our body shape and features.
- Unhealthy Diet: Eating a lot of junk food can cause a double chin. In this way, your overall body fat accumulation will be increased.
