How To Lose Weight Fast and Get Rid of Belly Fat For Good! The Health Risks of Belly Fat 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 fat stored around your vital organs such as the heart, liver and spleen can result into complicated health problems? Technically, the belly fat is the excess intra-abdominal adipose tissue accumulation. In other words, it is simply known as the ‘deep’ fat that is stored further underneath the skin, beyond the subcutaneous belly fat. It is normally in the gel-like form that is actually wrapped around these major organs. The presence of a protruding belly and a large waist are clear signs of the storage and accumulation of the dangerous visceral fat. While it is most notably evident in the obese individuals, anyone can have compacted visceral fat without even knowing it. Visceral fat is especially dangerous because, as you’ll find out, these fat cells do more than just sit there and cause your pants to feel tight — they also change the way your body operates. Why is more fat stored as visceral fat in some people but not in others? Specific mechanisms responsible for proportionally increasing visceral fat storage include eating too many calories, sex hormones, cortisol production, growth hormones and dietary fructose. Formation of Visceral Fat The body basically works like an orchestra of chemicals that tells us when to eat and when 1

At the core of your weight, appetite and mood control are your blood sugar levels, which are controlled largely by the hormone insulin. This is a hormone that balances blood sugar levels by levelling them to the maximum body sugar circulation limits after we’ve eaten a high- carbohydrate or sugary meal. When there’s too much glucose in our abnormally high levels and hormonal bloodstream and our cells already have filled imbalances result in powerful urges to eat, glycogen stores, glucose is stored as fat, either mood changes, lack of energy and various belly fat or subcutaneous fat; a process which other factors that contribute to disease happens a lot more quickly and easily when formation. consuming refined processed carbohydrates and sugary foods.
