Belly Fat Quiz
Do you know the answers to these belly fat questions? Posted here are three important questions about getting rid of belly fat and following them are the answers.
Question #1
Belly fat is the same as:
a) fat just under the skin or subcutaneous fat
b) fat around the hips and thighs
c) none of the about
Correct answer is “c.”
Much of the bulge around the mid-section is composed of the fat that lies just underneath the skin or subcutaneous fat. However, deep belly fat wraps around the internal organs such as the liver and the intestines. This type of fat is also known as visceral fat. A skinny person may have excessive amounts of visceral fat and not know it. The most accurate way to measure visceral fat is to take a CT or MRI scan. However, that is not cost effective for most people, so the next best measurement is the size of your waist. Men who have waist sizes 40 inches and above and women with waist sizes 35 inches and above should look at losing weight and slimming down.
Question #2
Belly fat is:
a) nothing to worry about
b) harmful to your health
c) easy to get rid of
Correct answer is “b.”
Belly fat or visceral fat has been medically linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Visceral fat is a living organ that releases fatty acids, hormones and other inflammatory substances into the body.
Question #3
To get rid of belly fat you need to:
a) take diet pills
b) change your diet and exercise
c) wish it away
Correct answer is “b.”
Belly fat won’t go away if you do nothing about it. Reducing calories by eating smaller portions during meals is only one thing you can start doing. A daily exercise routine is also necessary for losing weight and burning off the excess fat around your gut. The best type of exercise to accomplish this isn’t sit-ups or abdominal crunches. Fast paced walking or jogging at least five days a week for 30 to 45 minutes will burn the belly fat off.
