How to reduce visceral fat
What is visceral fat and what is the best way to get rid of visceral fat
Visceral fat is stored in a person’s abdominal cavity and is also known as ‘active fat’ as it influences how hormones function in the body. An excess of visceral fat can, therefore, have potentially dangerous consequences.
Because visceral fat is in the abdominal cavity, it is close to many vital organs, such as the pancreas, liver, and intestines.
The higher the amount of visceral fat a person stores, the more at risk they are for certain health complications, such as diabetes abd heart disease.
Although visceral fat is stubborn and difficult to manage, it can be reduced by making appropriate lifestyle changes, as follows:
- Control the amount of food you eat appropriately. Avoid foods high in sugar, processed foods, and foods with trans fats. Focus on low-fat foods, drink plenty of clean water, and add vegetables and fruits to every meal.
- Exercise regularly. Cardio exercise, such as brisk walking, running, or swimming, for at least 150 minutes/week is a great way to burn fat. You can also supplement it with weight training to help build muscle mass and boost your metabolism.
- Relax your mind and try to reduce stress. You can try meditation, yoga, or doing relaxing activities like reading a book or listening to เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา music to help reduce the level of cortisol, a hormone that stimulates the accumulation of fat in the abdomen.
