We all associate the big Santa Claus belly with an unhealthy
person, correct? But it may be the fat
you CAN’T see that’s causing health issues.
The fat we see just under the skin is subcutaneous fat, but visceral
fat, the fat around your belly organs is much more dangerous for your health.
Researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center recommend
eating more soluble fiber from veggies, fruit and beans, and exercising
more. They found that when you eat 10
grams more in soluble fiber every day, your visceral fat actually declines 3.7%
in 5 years. If you increase your
activity, you can decrease this fat 7.4% in five years! Some ways to get more soluble fiber include
apples, peas, and pinto beans. So hit the
produce section of the grocery store today!
