Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and
age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most
people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply
ugly, covering up their abs from being visible, and makes
them self conscious about showing off their body.

However, what most people don't realize is that excess
abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but is also a
dangerous risk factor to your health. Scientific research
has clearly determined that although it is unhealthy in
general to have excess body fat throughout your body,
it is also particularly dangerous to have excess abdominal
fat.

There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal
area. The first type that covers up your abs from being
visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly
beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.

The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area
is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the abdomen
beneath your muscle and surrounding your organs. Visceral
fat also plays a role in giving certain men that "beer belly"
appearance where their abdomen protrudes excessively
but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you push
on it.

Both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the abdominal area
are serious health risk factors, but science has shown that
having excessive visceral fat is even more dangerous than
subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly increase the risk your
risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood
pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer, and
other degenerative diseases. Excess belly fat has been
associated in studies with higher levels of C-reactive protein
(CRP), an indicator of inflammation within the body that can
lead to heart disease.

Part of the reason visceral fat is particularly dangerous is
that it apparently releases more inflammatory molecules
into your system on a consistent basis.

If you care about the quality of your life and your loved ones,
reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your TOP
priorities! There's just no way around it. Besides, a side
effect of finally getting rid of all of that excessive ugly
abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if
you lose enough stomach fat, you will be able to visibly
see those sexy six pack abs that everyone wants.
