You won't believe who the real enemy is.
Visceral fat is the most dangerous type of body fat for human health because it surrounds internal organs and threatens their integrity.
With an increase in visceral fat, the signaling molecules produced by hormones multiply. These molecules are often responsible for high blood pressure and inflammation within the body, which explains the link between visceral fat and an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer.
Despite numerous studies on the symptoms and causes of visceral fat accumulation in the abdomen, a question that puzzles many remains unanswered: Why does one person develop this type of fat while another does not? A new study appears to have provided a first clue by focusing on the impact of insulin on the brain.
What may seem shocking to some is that, after comparing data from study participants over nine years, it was found that individuals with almost no insulin sensitivity only lost visceral fat in the first few months of following a diet. However, they quickly regained the weight after the initial period, despite continuing their diet and exercise, according to Dr. Stefanie Kuhlmann, one of the study's authors, as reported by the German website "Heilpraxis."
The brain's sensitivity to insulin is responsible for the accumulation of visceral fat in the abdomen. Therefore, insulin is responsible for abdominal fat accumulation, while subcutaneous fat cells are not affected by this hormone. This finding could also lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of diseases caused by visceral fat, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and others.
