Good day,
Today I wanted to touch on the subject of abdominal fat. The location of fat on the body is very important and can lead to significant risks in diseases.
Abdominal fat in particular gives you a much higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers. High insulin levels and insulin resistance can accompany high abdominal fat and make these diseases even worse.
Scientists have discovered that high abdominal fat is part of the disease process that they call Metabolic Syndrome which consists of high blood pressure, abnormal blood fats, type 2 diabetes, blood vessel inflammation and blood clotting abnormalities. Abdominal fat cells release fatty acids into our bloodstream which triggers insulin resistance. This is where the hormone insulin becomes less effective at lowering blood sugars. High abdominal fat levels inundate the liver with fat, triggering the various events of the Metabolic Syndrome.
Remember there is no easy way or quick fix to lose abdominal fat. Do not listen to all of the BS on the infomercials about a magic pill, piece of equipment or quick fix scheme. It takes working out combined with balanced nutrition to trim down and get into a healthy fat % zone.
If you are not sure how to get there hire a personal trainer or nutritionist to give you the guidance necessary.
Cheers,
Bouncelife
