Understanding the dangers of visceral fat

Visceral fat is a dangerous type of fat that accumulates around organs and secretes inflammatory molecules. It can lead to chronic diseases and starts to accumulate even in toddlers who consume sugary cereals and grains. Eliminating visceral fat is essential for improving health and reducing the risk of disease. MRI scans are the most accurate way to measure visceral fat. Processed foods, especially carbohydrates, contribute to the accumulation of visceral fat.
