Belly fat dangers

[Lindsay IMT Staff]

Belly fat isn’t just a cosmetic concern – it’s dangerous. That's because it's not limited to the extra layer of padding located just below the skin, called subcutaneous fat. It also includes visceral fat — which lies deep inside your abdomen, surrounding your internal organs. Unlike other types of fat, visceral fat produces hormones and other substances that increase your risk for serious health issues like breast cancer, colorectal cancer and stroke. When you’re struggling with a big stomach, the best way to lose weight is through healthy lifestyle changes like increased activity and a low-calorie diet. Together, these modifications will help you shed belly fat and get healthy. EXERCISE Incorporate cardio activity into your daily routine.

Great information as usual guys! The only thing missing though is the fact that abdominal fat is a major source of aromatase enzyme! I understand that this is part of the mechanism behind lowering testosterone, but it's also known to create a situation leaning towards estrogen dominance!

Fantastic posts!
