Fat can show up in all sorts of places. It can strain the waist of a pair of jeans, hang over a belt, or even just make a wedding ring nearly impossible to remove. Most people view body fat as relatively harmless and just something they want to banish to look and feel better. The subcutaneous fat that pads our thighs and rear ends and other areas, while sometimes annoying, is generally harmless. But stored excess body fat and obesity are downright dangerous. In fact, you don’t necessarily need to be overweight to have risky levels of visceral fat.
Visceral fat is especially dangerous because, as you’ll find out, these fat cells do more than just sit there and cause your pants to feel tight — they change the way your body operates.
Visceral fat lies deep inside the abdomen, surrounding vital organs like the liver, heart, intestines, and kidneys. Visceral fat pumps toxic chemicals called adipocytokines into the bloodstream. These create chronic low-grade inflammation and disrupt healthy metabolism (the way your body works to create energy and keep you functioning).
People with larger bellies and deep (visceral) fat tend to lose sensitivity to insulin, a crucial hormone that helps the body burn energy. When insulin loses its power, the body responds by pumping out more of the hormone, which only throws the system further off balance.
As a result, people with extra belly fat may be vulnerable to a whole cascade of problems known as insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome. Excess body fat contributes to major causes of death and disability, including heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis, fatty liver, and depression.
If you have a protruding belly and large waist, that’s a clear sign you’re storing dangerous visceral fat. While it’s most noticeable and pronounced in obese individuals, anyone can have visceral fit, many without even knowing it.
How can you tell if your belly fat is putting your health at risk? That part is easy. No special blood tests or scans are needed. All you need is a tape measure. The size of your waist says it all. The higher the number, in general, the greater the danger your belly poses to your health!
Typically:
For women, a waist measurement of 35 inches or more is cause for concern.
For men, a waist measurement of 40 inches or more could spell trouble.
So, if you measure any of these maybe it’s time to stop and take a look at your health, lifestyle and diet.
