Facts You Should Know About Belly Fat

By Dr. Dennis Clark


Anyone that has ever tried to stay on a diet and exercise program can tell you the frustration of trying to flatten their abdomen. Many dieters might also tell you they lost weight and still had a pouch of fat covering their tummies. However, you should know the belly fat you are ashamed of could be an indicator of more dangerous fat storage taking place in your body.

The body requires so much fat to be retained for remaining healthy. Most stored fats are used to help protect and cushion the organs. This fat is referred to as visceral fat. However, while some of it is required, too much can cause serious health problems. Consider when too much fat settles around organs like your heart.

The fat you see on your stomach could be telling you there is too much fat around your organs. In fact, medical professionals report the fats you see stored on your thighs and hips are nowhere as good of an indicator about high levels of visceral fats as the abdominal area is. Women with a waist measurement of more than 30 inches and men with one over 40 inches should visit their doctor about visceral fat levels.

You may have seen dozens of advertisements about products guaranteed to help you lose weight, especially in the stomach area. Before you take any kind of diet pill or supplement, you should consult your physician first. Many people that have medical conditions they are not aware of could suffer heart attacks from taking some diet pills.

Most people trying lose weight dread the thought of working out. This is especially true if you are out shape and have not worked out in awhile. Keep in mind the benefits of regular exercise stretch far beyond just trimming your waistline and toning your muscles.

The foods you eat do matter and by adding more fiber to your diet, you stand better chances of having lower levels of visceral fats. Eating foods that take more calories to burn than they actually contain is a good idea as well. Snacking on raw vegetables like celery and radishes can help you lose weight simply by your body using more calories to convert them into energy.

Avoid fad diets that seems to have a magical cure for losing belly fat. These diets are generally unhealthy and could lead to you experiencing health issues due to the lack of vital nutrients. Talk to your doctor and approach your dieting efforts in the most healthy way to get the results you are dreaming about.
