Visceral Fat

What Is Visceral Fat?

Visceral fat is the fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity, surrounding vital organs such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just under the skin, visceral fat is associated with a higher risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. High levels of visceral fat can disrupt hormone function, increase inflammation, and negatively impact overall health. Managing visceral fat through proper diet, exercise, and medical interventions is crucial for reducing the risk of these health complications.
