Visceral fat is fat that surrounds the internal organs in the abdomen. But the abdomen is a place where too much fat should not accumulate because it can easily cause disease. People with visceral fat should avoid certain types of drinks, especially during Tet.
For most people, visceral fat accounts for 10-15% of body fat. If visceral fat exceeds this level, it will significantly increase the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer, according to the health website Healthline (USA).
Drinking too much carbonated soft drinks will increase visceral fat accumulation.
To control visceral fat, people should avoid drinking the following foods:
Soft drink
Carbonated soft drinks are a type of beverage that contains a lot of sugar. The type of sugar in carbonated soft drinks is called fructose. Research shows that consuming too much of this type of sugar will increase the accumulation of visceral fat. In addition, regular consumption of fructose will reduce insulin sensitivity, making the body's ability to regulate blood sugar less effective.
Fatty drinks
Many drinks sold in the market are not only high in sugar but also high in fat, such as milk tea, cappuccino, coffee cream and some other drinks. This fat content is mainly found in the ingredients of fresh cream, heavy cream and whole milk.
Regular consumption of these drinks will cause weight gain and increase fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area. People can replace these drinks with non-fat milk.
Ale
Alcohol is a type of drink that contains empty calories, meaning it has calories but no nutrition. When entering the body, if these calories are not burned off, it will cause a calorie surplus, leading to the accumulation of excess fat, especially visceral fat.
Drinking too much alcohol can also lead to fatty liver. Too much fat in the liver can cause hepatitis, leading to liver damage. If prolonged, the disease can develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer.
To reduce visceral fat, in addition to avoiding foods and drinks high in sugar and fat, you need to increase your fiber intake. Fiber will help you feel full longer and support weight loss very well. Regular exercise also plays a very important role in reducing visceral fat. Endurance exercises such as jogging are very effective in reducing fat, according to Healthline .
