Visceral Fat: What It Is and Why It’s So Dangerous

Most people view body fat as relatively harmless and merely something we want to banish to look and feel better, but did you know that certain types of dangerous fats that are stored around your organs can also contribute to heart disease, dementia, cancer, depression and many other diseases?
Stored excess body fat and obesity are actually more than just unsightly — they’re downright dangerous, too. While it’s hard to imagine obesity and certain types of body fat as inflammatory diseases of their own, that’s exactly what they are.

What Is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is technically excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation. In other words, it’s known as a “deep” fat that’s stored further underneath the skin than “subcutaneous” belly fat. It’s a form of gel-like fat that’s actually wrapped around major organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidneys.
If you have a protruding belly and large waist, that’s a clear sign you’re storing dangerous visceral fat. While it’s most noticeable and pronounced in obese individuals, anyone can have visceral fit, many without even knowing it.
Carrying around excess visceral fat is linked with an increased risk for:
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Dementia
  • Diabetes
  • Depression
  • Arthritis
  • Obesity
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Sleep disorders

Having good Nutritional Diet with physical exercise added to your daily routine helps you to control your Visceral Fat.
