Describe visceral fat and how it is dangerous
What will be an ideal response?
Physical activity seems to be especially effective in reducing the more dangerous type of fat known as visceral fat, the internal fat that pads the liver and abdominal organs. Excess visceral fat as measured through use of imaging techniques is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality. It is also a stronger risk factor for heart attacks (as indicated by waist size) than body mass index. In addition, it is linked to colorectal cancer, breast cancer, metabolic syndrome, and an increased circulation of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a and IL-6.
