Understanding why belly fat becomes more common with age can make a big difference in how we support our long-term health. Belly fat - also known as visceral fat - is linked to concerns like cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes, and it often increases due to natural hormonal shifts, a slowing metabolism, and lifestyle changes as we get older.
The good news is that research shows several natural approaches may help support healthier abdominal fat levels. Nutraceuticals such as green tea extract, CLA, omega-3s, Garcinia Cambogia, berberine, and specific probiotic strains have all shown promising results in targeting visceral fat and supporting better metabolic health.
