Belly fat behaves as an organ in the body

How belly fat can act like a body organ

According to researchers, belly fat can act like an organ in that it can ‘churn out hormones and inflammatory substances'. This fat is believed to break down into fatty acids which then flows into our liver and muscles.

Furthermore, once fats enter our bloodsteam, it can be the start of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, etc.

So unfortunately, having belly fat may cause serious health conditions, apart from making one look and feel unhealthy.
