What Is Belly Fat?
Belly fat is excess abdominal fat surrounding the organs in your stomach. There are three types of fat: triglycerides (the fat that circulates in your blood), subcutaneous fat (the layer directly below the skin’s surface), and visceral fat (dangerous belly fat).
Visceral fat is a build-up of intra-abdominal adipose tissue; in simpler terms, it is a type of body fat that’s stored deeper than the belly fat within the abdominal cavity. It is the most harmful fat as it wraps around your major organs. It poses many dangers to your health when there is too much of it.
