Actually, losing abdominal fat is a great method to lower blood sugar and prevent or manage diabetes. Rivera said, "Diabetics are more likely to have a heart attack."
According to Harvard Health, visceral fat increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic abnormalities, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, gallbladder surgery is connected to breast cancer.
Cutting abdominal fat will improve hypertension. Rivera claims that decreasing abdominal fat "can help you control blood pressure, which is an independent cardiovascular risk factor."
According to the Heart medical journal, gaining weight in your stomach might raise your blood pressure. The weight, blood pressure, and health of 10,000 people were studied for six years.
The study examined how waist fat and size affect high blood pressure. Before the trial, 50% of women and 21% of men had abdominal obesity and no elevated blood pressure. The 6-year duration increased abdominal fat to 62% for women and 30% for males.
In addition, one in five persons acquired excessive blood pressure. Those with higher waist fat were more likely to have high blood pressure than those with stable weight.
Women with a 5% waist gain had 28% higher blood pressure risk. A 5% waist gain elevated men's risk of high blood pressure by 34%. Male test takers who reduced their bellies by 2.5% reduced their chance of high blood pressure by 19%.
Rivera says metabolic syndrome "triples your risk of having a heart attack." A slimmer tummy reduces this risk. Multiple disorders in metabolic syndrome increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Mayo Clinic says too much abdominal fat might be a key factor.
