Facts You Should Know About Belly Fat

By Dr. Dennis Clark


Anyone that has ever tried to stay on a diet and exercise program can tell you the frustration of trying to flatten their abdomen. Many dieters might also tell you they lost weight and still had a pouch of fat covering their tummies. However, you should know the belly fat you are ashamed of could be an indicator of more dangerous fat storage taking place in your body.

The body requires so much fat to be retained for remaining healthy. Most stored fats are used to help protect and cushion the organs. This fat is referred to as visceral fat. However, while some of it is required, too much can cause serious health problems. Consider when too much fat settles around organs like your heart.

Women that have a waistline measurement of more than 35 inches should consult their doctor about their level of visceral fats. The men that have waistline measurements of more than 40 inches should also talk to their physician about visceral fats. Your stomach is an indicator you may have a level of visceral fats that is too high to be considered healthy.

You may have seen dozens of advertisements about products guaranteed to help you lose weight, especially in the stomach area. Before you take any kind of diet pill or supplement, you should consult your physician first. Many people that have medical conditions they are not aware of could suffer heart attacks from taking some diet pills.

Regular exercise is essential for you to control your weight. Exercising vigorously is the best way to get to the visceral fats you may have inside. Keep in mind that working out not only helps you to trim your waistline and lower your total levels of visceral fats, it also helps to tone and strengthen muscle. One great benefit of exercise is also the improvement you will experience in your mood and ability to concentrate.

Maintaining a well balanced diet is necessary for you to reach optimum good health. When you are eating foods less in calories, you may notice faster weight loss. By choosing the food sources that have less calorie content than the number of calories it takes to burn them, you may be surprised to see how much faster you lose weight.

Always consult with your doctor about any plan you have found for losing belly fat before trying it. You could experience serious health problems when following a diet that does not include the important nutrients your body requires for some of its necessary functions. Approaching weight loss in a healthy way will help you lose weight and keep it off as well.
