Belly fat is not all the same—there are two main types: visceral and subcutaneous. Understanding their differences and how to reduce both can help you achieve a healthier body.
Visceral Fat Explained – Visceral fat is the deep fat stored around your organs, including the liver, pancreas, and intestines.
Subcutaneous Fat Explained – Subcutaneous fat is the fat stored just under the skin. It’s the softer, pinchable fat found around your waist, hips, and thighs.
Health Risks of Visceral Fat – Visceral fat is linked to a higher risk of inflammation and insulin resistance.
Where Fat is Stored – Genetics, diet, lifestyle, and hormones determine whether you tend to store more visceral or subcutaneous fat.
Cardiovascular exercise (running, cycling, swimming) is particularly effective for burning visceral fat, while strength training helps reduce subcutaneous fat by building muscle mass.
Healthy Diet to Target Fat – A balanced diet rich in whole foods, lean proteins, fiber, and healthy fats is essential for reducing both types of belly fat.
Intermittent Fasting – Intermittent fasting can be particularly effective for reducing visceral fat.
