Visceral fat, also known as abdominal fat, is the fat that surrounds internal organs in the abdomen. While it’s normal and necessary for the body to store some fat for energy and insulation, excess visceral fat can harm health.
One of the reasons for this is that visceral fat can cause inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to various health problems, including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
