The risk of obesity is a problem that people throughout the world face. Fat unapologetically kills millions every year. You probably already know this. But, what you may not know is ab fat is possibly the most dangerous fat of all.
When most people think about fat around the abs they think of it as being unattractive. They think the ab fat is keeping people from seeing the sexy abdominal muscles underneath. Although this may be the case there is a much greater issue to be concerned about.
Your abdominal area is made up of two types of fat. The health risk of one of those fats is very high.
The first layer of fat hides the ab muscles you so desperately want to show off. Making up 80% of your bodies fat the subcutaneous fat lays just beneath the skin. When people talk about body fat percentage this is the type of fat they are referring to.
The organs of our bodies are protected by a layer of fat called visceral fat. When an excess of this fat surrounds the organs it becomes a serious health issue. This fat often shows itself in the belly of men, and the hips and butt of women. Although these areas have flabby subcutaneous fat the visceral fat usually has a hard feeling to it. As when you push a mans belly and it really doesn’t sink in.
When considering the dangers visceral fat is by far the worse of the two. So be concerned about just the outer layer of fat would be a mistake.
Visceral fat causes the body to release more inflammatory messengers. This is a major driving force behind inflammatory disease. These inflammatory messengers are used in your bodies immune defense system. However, when there are too many messengers the system turns on itself. It begins to attack healthy tissues. This can lead to many of the so called inflammatory diseases. These include Alzheimer’s, cancer, and may include asthma, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and more.
Now that you are armed with this information you should walk into the gym with purpose. Reducing ab fat could literally save your life. At the very least you will help avoid many of the diseases that plague the world. Oh, and of course you will create hot sexy six pack abs.
