What Is Visceral Fat?
Visceral fat is the hidden fat stored deep inside your abdomen, wrapped around your liver, kidneys, and intestines.
You can’t pinch it — but it affects your health more than any other type of fat.
Why You Should Care
Visceral fat is metabolically active, meaning it releases chemicals that trigger inflammation, hormone imbalance, and long-term health risks.
Risk 1: Heart Health
High visceral fat increases:
❤️ Blood pressure
❤️ “Bad” cholesterol
❤️ Risk of heart attack & stroke
It strains your heart even if you’re not overweight.
Risk 2: Diabetes & Insulin Resistance
Visceral fat interferes with how your body uses insulin.
This can lead to:
⚠️ Prediabetes
⚠️ Type 2 diabetes
⚠️ Sugar cravings & fatigue
Risk 3: Hormones & Inflammation
Too much visceral fat can cause:
🔥 Chronic inflammation
😣 Hormonal imbalance
😴 Low energy
🍩 Increased appetite & cravings
