This Type of Fat Is Killing You — And You Can’t Even See It 😳

This is the very dangerous type of fat. It's like kryptonite. There's a few different types of fat that we have on our body. There's the subcutaneous fat, and this is the stuff that you can pinch, that you can melt, that you can sculpt away, suck away with liposuction, for example. It's the type of fat that we don't necessarily like the look of. But the subcutaneous fat isn't the dangerous type of fat. Now, the visceral fat is a different type of fat. It's stored deep inside the belly, in the organs, in and around the organs. It wraps around them tight, it squeezes them like a straight jacket. And it is linked to a whole host of negative health consequences, like heart disease, like type 2 diabetes, like cancer. If you have visceral fat, even if you are thin on the outside, you will still be at really high risk of all of these negative health consequences.
