Visceral fat is concentrated in the abdomen and has the function of protecting the organs of the digestive tract, kidneys and heart. It is considered normal if it does not exceed the limits, causing the famous “beer belly”. Increased localized fat can cause health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems, stroke and increased bad cholesterol. Visceral fat is a consequence of a diet rich in carbohydrates and sugars and poor in nutrients.
