Become a Healthier You: Ways to Cut Belly Fats

That old belly fat sure makes it harder to fit into your clothes. A more important reason to get rid of belly fat is for good health. When you pinch up fat on your belly that sits just below the skin you are pinching up "subcutaneous fat." Deeper within the belly is visceral abdominal fat. Visceral abdominal fat is our main health enemy. Visceral fat usually increases in both men and women as they age. There are 3 things that play a significant role in how much belly fat you develop. They are:

your exercise level (helps to bust belly fat)
types of foods you eat (either increases or decreases belly fat, depending upon what you eat)
energy balance

About a decade ago our experts thought body fat was only storage for energy. Today, they know visceral fat cells are busy producing inflammatory molecules and other substances that interfere with insulin, the hormone for blood sugar control and fat storage.

According to experts the more visceral fat you have increases your risk for metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and alterations in blood fats (triglycerides and cholesterol). It is unclear to scientists which comes first, the increased visceral abdominal fat or a change in your body's metabolic health promoting the extra belly fat.

One of the earliest drivers of visceral abdominal fat is excess fat synthesis and accumulation in the liver, which is referred to as "fatty liver." Fatty liver grows from eating more calories than you need as well as from eating high intake of simple sugars, refined carbohydrate, trans fat and alcohol.

On the flip side, adequate intake of polyunsaturated fats like fatty fish sources (salmon, sardines, etc.) and canola, corn, soybean and peanut oils when eating within a calorie-controlled eating plan APPEARS protective against fatty liver.

Conclusion: If you have a long history of eating the wrong foods, you most likely will end up with a fatty liver problem.

Fatty liver disease is then associated with:

high triglycerides
insulin resistance
pre-diabetes
type 2 diabetes

What can you do to address excess visceral fat (bust belly fat) and the problems associated with it?

lose excess weight gradually

beware of rapid weight loss or fad diets that can lead to loss of lean muscle
if your are currently at a healthy weight, avoid gaining excess weight (best way to avoid metabolic disease)

Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.
