Belly fat can kill you. If you have belly fat, push yourself away from the computer and get exercising.

The Truth About Belly Fat Being overweight or obese surely puts you at a high risk for disease.

But even more important than simply reading the number on the scale is where you carry your weight.

Very simply, the size of your belly matters.

On the flipside, if you carry more of your weight in your hips and thighs, you’re at less of a risk.

Here’s the deal:

There are different types of fat in the body:

Visceral fat lies beneath the abdominal muscle, so is not visible.

On the other hand, subcutaneous fat is right underneath the skin, so can be seen.

We now know that those who have more belly fat, or visceral fat, are at a significantly higher heart disease and diabetes risk, among others.

The reason for this is that visceral fat surrounds the vital organs. It also releases various hormones that have been linked to disease. In a nutshell, belly fat is VERY dangerous!
