Visceral fat is mainly stored around the internal organs. Visceral fat is not harmless to the body, in fact it has a positive effect on the health of the body that should not be underestimated. In practice, visceral fat helps us to resist the impact of external stimuli on our internal organs, and at the same time, it helps us to maintain the stability of our internal organs.
2. Subcutaneous fat
The main storage location for subcutaneous fat is below the dermis of our skin and above the fascia. We are all familiar with subcutaneous fat and the main thing we need to do to lose weight and achieve the body shape we want through fitness is to reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat and lower body fat. There are also positive aspects of subcutaneous fat for our health. The main purpose of subcutaneous fat is to resist shock and maintain body temperature. Animals that live in cold places, such as penguins, have a high level of subcutaneous fat under their skin to support their temperature.
Secondly: What are the main causes of visceral fat formation?
1. Too much calorie intake
Visceral fat also belongs to the category of fat, and a big factor in the production of fat is the surplus of calories. There is no regular diet in life and you like junk food, fried food, food with high sugar content and so on.

The development of transport has also led to a steep decline in the amount of exercise. Such a lifestyle also provides good conditions for the accumulation of visceral fat.
3. Visceral fat is not easily noticeable
Visceral fat does not exist in the same form as subcutaneous fat, which is directly in front of our eyes. It is not easy for us to figure out how much visceral fat we have, so this leads many people to unconsciously ignore visceral fat as a factor in their lives. For people aiming to lose weight nowadays, they focus a lot of attention on subcutaneous fat when it comes to weight loss. Therefore, we should now increase our focus on visceral fat.

When visceral fat levels are too high, it can cause endocrine imbalances and lead to diseases such as fatty liver, heart disease, high blood pressure and cirrhosis of the liver.
