Watch out for visceral fat
Excess visceral fat can increase your risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, among other serious conditions.
Visceral fat is a different type of subcutaneous fat, located just under the skin. Here instead, it is stored deep in the abdomen, making it difficult to see.
It is known that only a certain amount of it is needed to protect and isolate vital organs.

“The best way my clients burn visceral fat starts with a few basics,” said personal trainer and former soccer player Jay Conroy – who works alongside Bio-Synergy nutritionists:
Control portion size.
Focus on cardio exercises.
Change the type of grain you eat to whole grain.
Get a good night’s sleep regularly.

“I know it’s easier said than done but portion size can really help,” Jay said. “Just changing your portion size can instantly reduce visceral fat by 12%. I recommend using smaller plates.”
“Whether it’s running, rowing, cycling or just walking for 30 minutes, improving your cardio routine can have a huge impact on reducing visceral and hepatic fat,” he said.
