DANGERS OF ABDOMINAL FAT

DANGERS OF ABDOMINAL FAT

I’m looking for noted doctors to provide quotes for articles
Abdominal fat, also called visceral fat, is located in an individual’s abdominal area. It is closer to many organs, hence potentially dangerous to your health. For example, it can cause different lifestyle diseases, such as;
• Type 2 diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Stroke
• Alzheimer’s disease
• High blood pressure
• Heart attack
• Heart disease.
Researchers believe that abdominal fat forms proteins that inflame body organs and tissues, narrowing the blood vessels. This shoots the blood pressure, resulting in other chronic illnesses.
The best ways to eliminate abdominal fat
Exercise
Physical activity and exercise can easily help get rid of abdominal fat. Combine exercises that raise your heart rate, including weight lifting and cardio, such as circuit training, swimming, and running.
Diet
A balanced diet with less carbohydrates and processed meals helps transform your abdominal area. It includes fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and complex carbs from whole grains, sweet potatoes, and beans. Also, consider boiling, grilling, or baking most meals with minimum healthy fats.
When should you see a doctor?
A man with a 40-inch waistline or a woman having a 35-inch waistline has potentially dangerous abdominal fat. If you are in this group of people, it is best to consult a specialist and confirm by measuring your waist. They may help understand the potential risks and advise on the next move to improve your health. I recommend seeking professional advice whenever you suspect high visceral fat levels. Meanwhile, keep your body healthy by eating healthful diets and exercising regularly to stay away from visceral fat dangers.
