We all know that animal fat has a particularly good thermal insulation effect for animals in the cold winter. In fact, human fat also has this effect, especially for obese people. Because they have too much fat in their bodies, they are particularly afraid of heat in the summer, but in the winter they can wear less than normal people because fat will not make them feel cold. There is a substance in fat called lactone. Let me introduce to you what lactone is. Visceral fat is a type of human body fat. Unlike subcutaneous fat (the "fat" that we usually know and can feel on the body), it surrounds the human organs and mainly exists in the abdominal cavity. Visceral fat plays an important role in our health. 1. Function A certain amount of visceral fat is actually necessary for the human body, because visceral fat surrounds the human organs and plays a supporting, stabilizing and protective role for them. 2. Hazards Infertility When visceral fat enters the digestive system, it can damage organs such as the liver, causing fatty liver. It can also disrupt metabolism and cause type 2 diabetes and infertility. Not only that, but visceral fat can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cause arterial inflammation, and even make you more susceptible to depression. Visceral fat may also cause cancer. According to Cancer Research UK, overweight men have a 25% higher incidence of colon cancer than the average person, while obese men have a 50% higher incidence than the average person. heart disease Visceral fat can make it difficult for toxins in the body to be excreted normally. It also produces a variety of chemicals that are closely related to heart disease. Obesity can also cause an enlarged heart, which can make the heart less efficient at pumping blood, leading to shortness of breath and fatigue. Shortness of breath Obese people find it more difficult to breathe because when people lie flat, any fat in the abdomen puts pressure on the lungs, causing obese people to feel shortness of breath when they lie down. The more difficult it is to breathe, the more likely it is that insufficient oxygen will be delivered to the bloodstream, leading to general fatigue, impaired immunity, and even high blood pressure. Experts point out that men with waist circumference >85 cm and women with waist circumference >90 cm are typical "visceral fat type" obesity. The medical proverb "long waistline, short life" is exactly like this. |
