LoseBellyFatInfo.com Launches Site to Help the Overweight Lose Belly Fat
Hidden deep inside the overweight body is a health risk called “visceral fat” many people are not aware of – including for the slim… LoseBellyFatInfo.com’s mission is to inform us all about the diseases linked to this deep belly fat and how we can eliminate it from our bodies.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 – While the overweight may decide to reduce the bulge around their waistline to improve their appearance, LoseBellyFatInfo.com wants them to know about the health risk associated with deep belly fat, also known as “visceral fat” or “intra-abdominal fat,” and how they can lose it.
The fat that causes a bulge around the mid-section is subcutaneous fat or fat just under the skin, according to Wanda Lam, consultant for LoseBellyFatInfo.com. However, deeper within the abdominal region and surrounding the vital organs is deep belly fat, also known as visceral fat.
Visceral fat wraps itself around the liver, kidney and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat actively secretes more fatty acids, hormones and other inflammatory substances. Researchers are still testing theories about this fat, but some studies have already linked it to heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.
Those who are overweight and have a wide waistline are at increased risk for developing these diseases — specifically, men with waist sizes 40 inches or more and women with waist sizes 35 inches or greater.
Sit-ups or faddish exercise equipment or devices that target abdominal muscles are not enough to eliminate visceral fat. “The type of exercise that will burn fat in general and visceral fat in particular are to walk or run from 30 to 45 minutes a day at least five days a week,” says Lam.
“People must also cut back on eating high fat content foods and reduce meal portions to control their caloric intake,” adds Lam.
For some people, this may mean a dramatic change in lifestyle… However, LoseBellyFatInfo.com is here to help anyone succeed in making the changes necessary to achieve and maintain their health.
