Visceral fat and diabetes.

Hello, I send you the link to an article in which I talk about the impact of excess visceral fat over diabetes.

Difference between visceral fat and subepithelial fat.

Visceral fat

Fat is distributed in the body in 3 compartments:

- Pardo adipose fabric.

- White or subepithelial adipose tissue

- Visceral fat.

In this article we will treat visceral fat and its health repercussions.

Visceral fat is surrounding the internal organs of the abdominal cavity.

Both types of fat increase due to excessive calorie consumption, but the main difference is that subepithelial fat grows 16592430385 81eda90c8f bauting the number of adipocytes from precursor or preadipocyte cells and visceral fat increases by increase in size ofFat cells

Repercusions of the increase in the size of visceral fat cells.

When they grow excessively size, they become a kind of organ that secretes hormones, especially cytokines.The cytoquine will produce generalized inflammation throughout the body and as a consequence it can lead to type II diabetes (insulin resistance), hypertension, cortisol increase, cancer and even depression (reduces endorphin levels).

Visceral adipocytes raise the trobolysis inhibitor factor, so it is also related to the formation of thrombi in obese people with the consequences that this can derive (circulatory problems, stroke, infarctions).

It produces an increase in the concentration of triglycerides in the blood, elevates the LDL bad cholesterol and decreases good cholesterol HDL.

As a reference to know if there is excess abdominal fat, the measure of the medical waist is taken, that is, around the navel.In men over 105 cm and in women greater than 95 cm it is considered that there is excess abdominal fat as well as we said in the metabolic syndrome article, it occurs when these measures attached to diabetes, hypertension or sugar are exceeded.

People with visceral obesity present all the hormonal alterations that occur in old age, presenting premature aging.

What to do to reduce visceral fat?

We will take into account two ways of action: nutrition and physical activity.

NUTRITION:

- Decrease saturated fats of animal origin, and especially trans fats found in fried, fast foods, cookies, ice cream.

- Take less refined hydrates: flours, sweets, ... hiit

- Increase the consumption of fiber -rich foods.

- To fight inflammation, take foods rich in Omega-3 and antioxidants.

Physical activity:

- According to the study by Dr. Giannaki of the University of Nicosia, the best training program to reduce visceral fat is the one that combines high intensity intervalic training (HIIT) with strength training.

We must not forget aerobic resistance training, which also helps, since everything that is aimed at increasing daily caloric consumption, will accumulate less amount of fat both visceral and subcutaneous.

Hello

It is a very interesting topic, on which I investigated a while ago, when I discovered thanks to my biimpedance scale that despite not being obese, had slightly worrying visceral levels.

If you have some fat in the belly, it is not necessarily visceral fat.Belly fat can also be subcutaneous fat, stored just below the skin.The subcutaneous fat, the type of fat that is also found in the arms and legs, is easier to see.Visceral fat is actually within the abdominal cavity, and is not seen easily.

Visceral fat can begin to cause health problems immediately.It can increase insulin resistance, even if you have never had diabetes or prediabetes.Investigations have discovered that this may be due to the fact that this type of fat secretes a retinol junction protein that increases insulin resistance.Visceral fat can also raise blood pressure quickly.

The only way to definitively diagnose visceral fat is with a magnetic tomography or resonance.However, these procedures are expensive and have been for a long time.

A cheap but less accurate shape is with a fat measuring scale.

This scale helped me ...
There are other cheaper options such as Xiaomi, which are also very good.Use the one you want, but measure you visceral fat, it is more important than it seems.
