The dangers of visceral fat

Excessive visceral fat is very harmful to people's health. Generally speaking, if we have poor sleep quality or an irregular lifestyle, it will lead to excess visceral fat. Patients with excessive visceral fat usually have a protruding belly and long-term constipation, which greatly reduces their quality of life. So, what are the dangers of visceral fat?

But no matter what kind of fat it is, it is your own fat, so you should take it seriously.

First of all, whether it is visceral fat or subcutaneous fat, if you want to lose it, it will happen at the same time, but the reasons for its accumulation may not be the same. Visceral fat is closely related to lifestyle habits, and can often be affected by sleep or bad living habits.

What are the characteristics of visceral fat?

1. Bulging belly

This is the most obvious feature. Most people with protruding bellies have excess visceral fat. Generally speaking, women with a waist circumference greater than 85cm can be diagnosed as obese with visceral fat.

2. People who can’t lose weight around the waist

Some people have thick waists, but they cannot lose weight after trying various weight loss methods. These people may consider whether they have too much visceral fat. If you have too much visceral fat, you will not be able to lose weight if you use subcutaneous fat weight loss methods.

3. Frequent constipation

Excessive accumulation of visceral fat can seriously affect digestive function, so constipation is the most common problem.

People with more visceral fat are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome, and if they are women, they are more likely to develop some gynecological diseases caused by hormonal changes.

Although visceral fat is harmful, it is not difficult to lose weight.

1. Diet is crucial

Eating small meals frequently and eating more low-sugar foods is beneficial to the stability of blood sugar in the body and it is not easy to eat too much. At the same time, eating more fatty acids can promote fat metabolism. Try not to eat highly processed foods, so that your body can gradually cleanse itself and reduce the burden on internal organs.

2. Exercise

Increasing the body's consumption capacity can help reduce fat. Simply doing aerobic exercise or strength training cannot achieve a good fat reduction effect, so the best way is to alternate between the two, doing aerobic exercise about 3 times and strength training about 3 times a week.

3. Work hard and rest well

The reason why life can continue to reproduce endlessly is because people know how to combine work and rest, working hard during the day and resting well at night. If you don’t get enough rest, the cortisol in your body will increase, causing a series of reactions and the hormones in your body will also change accordingly.

Maintain good sleep quality every day and regulate your work and rest time. No matter what, only by having a healthy life can you see a different scenery.
