At first glance, it seems that the most worrying fat is the one that is noticed under the skin: the one that pinches, the one that changes the shape of the body, the one that is so uncomfortable in front of the mirror.
But the real threat isn't out there... is inside.
Visceral fat, which accumulates between the abdominal organs, can envelop them like a thick, silent layer, as shown in the image, altering vital functions without you realizing it.
It settles around the liver, intestines, pancreas, and even near the heart, affecting its natural functioning.
Increases insulin resistance significantly, forcing the pancreas to work more and bringing the body closer to the development of type 2 diabetes.
Raises blood pressure, modifies the way the body handles cholesterol, and favors chronic inflammation.
Increases the risk of heart attacks, stroke, and metabolic disorders.
It raises the likelihood of developing various types of malignant tumors due to the persistent inflammatory environment it generates.
Subcutaneous fat can be worrying about aesthetics...
But, the visceral is the one that directly compromises your metabolism, your heart, your hormone system, and your longevity.
