If you have a Big Belly you are at high risk of
heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain
cancers. Look around you! Men and woman between
ages 50 and 80 look like they have a watermelon
under their shirt. Belly fat is the worst and
carries two kinds of ugly fat.

1. Subcutaneous fat- found beneath the outermost
layer of skin and is the protective wrap over the
body’s surface. It’s fat that can be measured
using body fat calipers, which provide a rough
estimate of total body adiposity. Subcutaneous
fat, which also is carried in the hips, thighs,
arms and legs, may be unwanted, but it’s not
particularly dangerous.

2. Visceral fat-also known as organ fat located
between the organs and contributes to dangerous
belly fat. It’s composed of several adipose
depots, which may contribute to insulin
resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia,
hypertension and coronary artery disease. Several
studies have linked visceral fat to elevated
triglycerides levels as well. Visceral, or belly,
fat is hazardous to your health. Studies have
shown a link between a large waist and a higher
risk of death — even among people who aren’t
overweight. In fact, researchers now say your
waist size, which generally reflects the amount of
visceral fat you carry, may be a better predictor
of disease than your body mass index.
Here are a few tips to get rid of your belly and
maybe save your life:

· Walk 2 to 5 miles a day (at a fast pace
and some of the time I walk backwards)

· Take carbonated beverages out of your diet

· Eat 2 to 3 servings of green vegetables a
day

· Start doing internal exercises like Qi
Gong, Tai Chi and Yoga to strengthen your internal
organs

If you are overweight it could be more dangerous
than you think, but like real estate, “It’s
location, location, location that really matters.”
If that fat, is around your midsection you are
headed for health problems sooner than you think.

Until recently, scientists thought fat cells were
simply storage units for excess calories. But
researchers now consider belly fat an active
organ. Belly fat actually hides hormones and
lipids such as triglycerides that are harmful to
the body.

It impairs the body’s ability to use insulin,
increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and it
triggers the inflammation that can cause heart
disease.

A Fat belly may cause colon cancer. This
dangerous fat is associated with a higher risk of
rectal, pancreatic, endometrial and postmenopausal
breast cancer.
Recent studies also have linked belly fat to poor
brain health.

So how do you lose belly fat? Experts say there
is no magic formula, but it can be done, and it’s
not as difficult as you might think. When you use
the classic combination of diet and exercise,
belly fat often goes away first.

“If you do external exercises, you have
to do internal exercises, but if you do internal
exercises you don’t have to do external exercises”.
