In a basement office in central London, I am poring over a scan showing an alarmingly high amount of visceral fat in my body; layers of fat cells deep within the body, especially around my stomach and vital abdominal organs...

The article from The Telegraph discusses the dangers of visceral fat, which is the type of fat stored deep within the abdominal cavity around vital organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which lies just beneath the skin, visceral fat is linked to numerous health issues including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and dementia due to its inflammatory properties and its role in altering hormone levels and insulin sensitivity. The piece highlights that while some visceral fat is necessary for organ protection, excess amounts are harmful. It suggests that managing visceral fat involves lifestyle changes such as diet modification, reducing sugar intake, increasing fiber, and engaging in regular physical activity, particularly high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The article also notes that visceral fat can be reduced more easily than subcutaneous fat, offering hope for those looking to improve their health by targeting this specific fat type.
