For the next 4 weeks, I will be taking aim at my visceral fat. Visceral fat has been linked to a wide variety of chronic conditions. It's different from the fat we can pinch in that it produces substances that can pose a huge risk to our overall health. As women go through their middle years, the proportion of fat to body weight tends to increase due to hormonal change and, even if you don't gain weight, your waistline can grow by inches. ... Dementia, cardiovascular disease and breast cancer are just a few of the diseases linked to the hormones and molecules secreted by this endocrine organ. Yes! Fat cells, especially the visceral fat cell, is an endocrine organ that produces a higher proportion of molecules and proteins that can trigger low-level inflammation and high blood pressure. The good news is that visceral fat responds very well to exercise and a balanced diet. Even 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise and weight training is enough to make a difference. Avoid trans fat and foods with added sugar and get your sleep. Research has shown that quality sleep is very effective in avoiding the accumulation of visceral fat. Last, but not least, mind your emotional and mental state. Higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol seem to be associated with visceral fat buildup.
