The overabundance of fat and obesity can hamper both the physical and psychological well-being of an individual. It can lead to physical threats like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes affecting longevity.
Causes
Unfortunately, many people experience excess fat, which could be an overall body fat percentage or specific stubborn fat areas like belly fat. There are various causes of excess fat such as eating too much of solid fat, excessive and binge eating of carbohydrates, lack of physical activities, genetics, or hormones.
Types
There are different types of fat and some of them can have benefits for you while some have a negative impact.
Essential fat: Fat is not always negative as it sounds. Essential fat is the fat that is important for a healthy body. It is found in the brain, nerves, and bone marrow and protects the organs.
Subcutaneous fat: It is the type of fat that is found under the skin which you can feel or squeeze on your arms, thighs, belly, and buttocks. Too much subcutaneous fat can result in an imbalance of hormones.
Visceral fat: Visceral fat is found in the abdomen and around major organs like the kidney, liver, intestines, pancreas, and heart. High visceral fat can increase the chances of heart disease, diabetes, and others medical conditions.
