Visceral fat is situated deep within the central abdominal region, encasing and safeguarding essential organs.

Even if your weight and overall body fat remain consistent, the way fat is distributed in your body tends to change as you age, often shifting towards the abdominal area. Maintaining a healthy level of visceral fat can significantly lower the risk of specific diseases, including heart disease and high blood pressure, and may even postpone the development of type 2 diabetes.
