How People Can Reduce Levels of Visceral Fat

Limit or Avoid Sugary Drinks

Sugary foods are home to highly refined and processed carbs. Refined carbs are easily broken down in the body, leading to high blood glucose levels. To balance things out, the body will convert some excess glucose and store it around the abdomen.

Get More Sleep

When you get more sleep, your hormones, leptin and ghrelin, will likely be in balance. This means your hunger and appetite will reduce, allowing you to keep your calorie consumption in check. Due to this, you can lose weight and abdominal fat.

Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise and physical activity increase your muscle mass, positively affecting your metabolic rate. When your metabolic rate is elevated, there is a decent chance you will burn more calories, helping you lose weight and abdominal fat.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
