Visceral Fat

Weight and even body fat percentage are not perfectly correlated to good or bad health. You can be overweight and healthy or “normal weight” and unhealthy. That is because your numbers on the scale are not as important as the amount of visceral fat you have.


Visceral Fat is The Culprit

Visceral fat is also known as belly fat, abdominal fat, intra-abdominal fat, organ fat, or omental fat. It is the fat around your internal organs. Visceral fat releases inflammatory chemicals, fats, and hormones into your bloodstream. Visceral fat increases your appetite, bad cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure, and insulin resistance. Visceral fat also makes it more difficult for you to breathe.


Lose Visceral Fat

Visceral fat has many deleterious effects. It also predisposes you to many diseases including obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertension, sleep apnea, and many types of cancer. Visceral fat is partly determined by genetics, which you cannot control. However, there are aspects you can control. This site is here to teach you about visceral fat and how to lose it. Lets do it!
