Visceral fat is a form of body fat that accumulates around internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, it is buried deeper in the body and can be harder to detect. Excess visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and other health problems. It is therefore essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet and regular exercise to reduce this type of fat and maintain one's overall health.
