The Problem with Belly Fat

Belly fat, specifically visceral adipose tissue (vat fat), poses a significant health risk due to its metabolic impact. Vat fat releases inflammatory cytokines and free fatty acids into the bloodstream, which can interfere with insulin signaling, promote insulin resistance, and contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.
