Visceral fat belongs to a kind of human body fat. Different from subcutaneous fat, subcutaneous fat is adipose tissue stored under the skin, while visceral fat wraps the liver, intestine, stomach and other organs, which supports, stabilizes and protects human viscera, mainly in abdominal cavity, and visceral fat has great influence on human health. Although visceral fat can protect, support and stabilize internal organs, excessive visceral fat can induce other diseases and affect health. The common manifestations of visceral fat are beer belly and drowsiness.

Harm of high visceral fat

First, fatty liver

The accumulation of visceral fat may directly lead to fatty liver, which is also a common liver disease. Fatty liver can induce or aggravate diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and liver cirrhosis. It will also affect the function of the liver and reduce the ability of digestion and metabolism.

Second, difficulty breathing.

Excessive visceral fat can also lead to dyspnea, because excessive visceral fat will squeeze people's lungs, and abdominal fat will press the lungs when people lie flat, thus causing shortness of breath and even dyspnea. Difficulty in breathing will lead to insufficient oxygen in the blood, which will lead to general fatigue and even syncope.

Third, infertility.

When visceral fat is too high, it will interfere with metabolism and endocrine disorders in the body, cause menstrual disorders and easily lead to infertility.

How to reduce visceral fat?

First, pay attention to diet.

Pay attention to the intake of fat and sugar. Too much nutrition will turn into fat. Reducing intake can effectively help reduce fat, eat more vegetables to supplement vitamins, and eat more foods with high protein and low fat, such as skim milk, eggs and shrimp. Drink plenty of water, accelerate metabolism and help burn more than calories. But remember not to just take protein and vitamins.

Second, keep exercising.

Daily exercise can accelerate the body to consume more energy, avoid fat accumulation and cause more burden to internal organs. Losing weight through exercise can not only get a good posture, but also keep your body healthy.
