Understanding Belly Fat Types
Belly fat is divided into two types: subcutaneous fat, which sits just under the skin, and visceral fat, which is stored around internal organs. Visceral fat is more dangerous, as it is closely associated with poor health outcomes like insulin resistance and heart disease. Individuals can appear lean yet still have high levels of visceral fat, which can lead to significant health risks. This highlights the importance of not solely relying on exterior appearances to evaluate one's health status.
