There are several different types of body fat but one is far and away the absolute worst kind; belly fat. That’s because people who have excess abdominal fat around their sides, back, and waistlines are at a much greater risk for developing a number of serious health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.
Also known as visceral fat (other alternatives include spare tire or beer gut) abdominal fat is located deeper in the body where it mushes up against, and sometimes even covers, organs. When this occurs the fat may end up causing bad things to happen as it leads to inflammation and interference with proper organ function. Men in particular are at an increased risk for accumulating abdominal visceral fat, but many women are also at risk for it as well. Those with excess fat located anywhere in the mid-section region need to be aware of the dangers it poses and do their best to cut down on it.
Love handles and back fat are equally as damaging to health and wellness, yet for many people those areas and the stomach are the hardest to trim down and tone up. While there is no magic cure, there are some tricks you can use to your advantage which make the process easier and the results more pronounced. Exercising and balanced nutrition are still the key to losing weight and getting in shape, but there are other things you can be doing to help your body.
The accompanying video covers ten scientifically based home remedies that are useful for targeting and removing belly, side, and back fat. Some of them are covered below, but be sure to check out the video for more information and the rest of the tips!
