A shocking visualisation has revealed exactly what fat looks like inside the human body. Spoiler alert: it’s not pretty — and it could have serious implications for chronic illness management, private health insurance coverage, and preventive care costs.
You know the usual pointers from health experts: have a balanced diet, exercise, stay hydrated, and sleep well. These aren’t just lifestyle suggestions.
They’re crucial to reducing the risks associated with visceral fat, which has been linked to increased hospital costs, diagnostic testing, and long-term wellness care.
But for many out there (myself included), it’s difficult to stay on top of every area, with life and all that. So, what happens if you completely let go on all fronts with no intention to lead a healthy lifestyle?
Well, when it comes to food especially, eating junk and too much of the wrong stuff can cause you to put on weight, gaining what’s known as visceral body fat.
A type of fat strongly associated with higher risk of cardiovascular complications, type 2 diabetes, and even high-risk insurance classifications.
