Visceral fat is fat that is stored around our mid-section 🤰 and it can be extremely problematic for our health...
Visceral fat (also known as abdominal fat) surrounds vital organs including the liver, stomach, and intestines 🫀putting major strain on organs
This type of fat cell produces inflammatory markers which lead to chronic inflammation and chronic diseases such as heart disease ‼️
Visceral fat is different than the fat we store in other areas of our body (subcutaneous fat) which is stored just beneath the skin.
Insulin resistance is the driving force 🚙 behind visceral fat in a lot of cases. When you are insulin resistant, fat gets stored in places that it typically wouldn't, such as around our organs in our abdomen.
The same happens when you consume excessive alcohol 🍻 or fructose because of how they are processed by the body.
Implement these tips to reduce your visceral fat! 👏
