Health Risks: Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic problems worsen at higher levels.
Effect on Hormones: Releases hormones and inflammatory chemicals that affect metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
Excess quantities are linked to obesity-related health concerns less than visceral fat.
Weight-loss response: Lifestyle adjustments that target visceral fat can enhance metabolic health.
Weight-loss response: Subcutaneous fat reduction may help with weight loss but may not affect metabolic health as much as visceral fat reduction.
In conclusion, both visceral and subcutaneous fat store energy, but excessive visceral fat is more dangerous to metabolic health. Healthy eating and exercise can lower both forms of fat, but visceral fat affects overall health more.
Response to Weight Loss: Reduction in subcutaneous fat is often associated with overall weight loss but may not have the same impact on metabolic health as visceral fat reduction.
Always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice and guidance tailored to individual health conditions.
