Abdominal fat has bothered people
for years simply because it can be unsightly. However,
as science gains an understanding about how the distribution
of fat affects overall health, we begin to realize how
dangerous it is. For years, doctors have recognized that
people who tend to gain weight in their abdominal region
are more likely to suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, heart disease, and other medical conditions.
There are two types of fat that we will consider. The
first is the fat directly under the skin which is called
subcutaneous fat. Intra-abdominal fat, or visceral fat,
surrounds internal organs and seems to exacerbate or even
cause health problems. While no one knows the reason that
this fat affects so many areas of health, there are several
theories circulating. One theory is based on the idea
that the fat cells secrete a substance that inhibits the
proper function of the internal organs. Both types of
fat can cause medical problems, but the intra-abdominal
fat poses a much graver risk.
It is hard to understand how much fat is present because
much of it is hidden in the abdomen. CT or MRI scans can
give a clear understanding of how much fat is present,
but most people do not need expensive and inconvenient
testing to understand that they have excess fat in their
belly. By simply measuring one’s waist, a person
can understand if they have a significant amount of fat
that puts them at risk.
The tendency to gain weight in the belly is affected by
many factors. Genetics, stress, and sex seem to affect
how people store fat. Also, age is an obvious factor in
the distribution of fat. Many programmes available currently
claim to target weight loss in the abdomen. According
to the current research, losing weight and exercising
are the simple and most effective solutions for this problem.
Exercise alone can make a big difference in losing belly
fat. Some studies show that visceral fat is the first
fat to go when a regular exercise programme is followed.
Unfortunately, doing exercises that are aimed only at
the abdominal region are not enough. We may wish that
we could do a few sit ups and call it good, but it is
important to have a regular exercise programme that is rigorous
enough to increase your heart rate, but not too strenuous
for your individual fitness level. Strength training is
also helpful, as it improves your ability to burn fat
throughout the day.

Feel
Great by Losing Weight comment:
Abdominal fat can be a good indicator of future
health risks, and as the article points out
it is not something that you want. Despite
what you may think, you cannot target fat
deposits. In other words if you have flabby
arms doing arm exercises will not get rid
of it for you. Similarly abdominal exercises
will not target abdominal fat. What you need
is an integrated approach to solve your problem.
To lose it quickly and safely, whilst at the
same time massively improving your general
health perhaps we can help.
