FAT RUNS MORE THAN JUST SKIN DEEP


The trouble with belly fat is that is as though it’s its own entity.  It produces an over abundance of estrogen which alters hormone levels negatively and causes muscle loss and emotional upsets.  The fat you see hanging over your belt runs deeper than you may realize it's not just limited to the extra layer of flab around your waistline it also engulfs deep within tissues and organs.  The fat that lies just below the skin is called subcutaneous fat; it’s unsightly and causes cellulite, the deeper fat which lies deep inside which is called visceral fat —surrounding and overcrowding your precious life giving organs which prevents optimal health and wellness.


Although subcutaneous fat is unsightly it isn’t as dangerous as visceral fat is. That's because an excessive amount of visceral fat come greater health concerns such as it produces an over abundance of hormones and other substances that raises blood pressure, alters good and bad cholesterol levels and stops the body's ability to use insulin correctly, which is called insulin resistance.  If you have a big belly then you are most likely insulin resistant—not good!
