Excess abdominal fat is correlated with a number of health conditions, from diabetes to inflammatory diseases. Abdominal fat cells release a hormone called adiponectin, which may disrupt cells’ ability to respond to insulin properly. These fat cells also release cytokines, which are inflammatory chemicals. They can cause high cholesterol levels, since substances from abdominal fat easily transfer to the liver and disrupts normal cholesterol production regulation in the organ.
How to lose belly fat and minimize these health risks? If sit-ups and crunches come to mind, think again! Those targeted ab exercises, and the gimmicky machines and devices based on them, will strengthen your superficial abdominal muscles but won’t get rid of the visceral fat over them. The fastest ways to lose belly fat may surprise you.
