Visceral Fat Explained



Very informative clip from a family doctor talking about visceral fat.

Visceral fat is the fat around the internal organs like stomach, heart and liver. It is not the fat that lies just under your skin, that type is called subcutaneous fat. It is the fat that is deep inside.

The more visceral fat you carry around, the higher your chances of developing insulin resistance (leading to type two diabetes), heart disease and other metabolic disorders.
