This picture shows a 250 pound woman on the left, and a 120 pound woman on the right. You can see weight gain on the outside, but you can’t see what the inside of the body looks like.
If you look closely at the image on the left, you can see fat encasing the organs. Do you notice the fat around the heart and brain? The compression around the stomach and internal organs?
Visceral fat is a type of body fat that’s stored within the abdominal cavity. It’s located near several vital organs, including the liver, stomach, intestines and heart. It can also build up in the arteries.
Losing weight isn’t about having a “bikini body.” Even a small reduction in weight can mean big health benefits.
