Did you know that a vast majority of people regardless of age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing that most people think of is that their extra abdominal fat is simply unattractive, is wrapping up their abs from being visible, and makes them figure-conscious about showing off their body. However, what most people don't realize is that excess abdominal fat in particular, is not only ugly, but also a dangerous risk issue to health. Scientific study has confirmed that although it is unhealthy in general to have excess body fat throughout your body, it is also mainly unsafe to have excess abdominal fat.
There are two types of fat that you have in your abdominal region. The first type that covers up your abs from being evident is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly under the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.
The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that is located deeper in the abdomen underneath your muscle and adjoining your organs. Visceral fat also plays a role in giving certain men that "beer belly" look where their abdomen protrudes greatly but at the same time, also feels sort of hard if you press on it.
Both subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal region are serious health risk factors, but science has exposed that having excessive visceral fat is even more hazardous than subcutaneous fat. Both of them greatly amplify the risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, stroke, various forms of cancer, and other degenerative diseases. Part of the explanation visceral fat is particularly dangerous is that it appears to release more inflammatory molecules into your body on a consistent basis.
If you think about the worth of your life and your loved ones, reducing your abdominal fat should be one of your peak priorities! There's just no way around it. Besides, a side-effect of finally getting rid of all that excessive and unattractive abdominal fat is that your stomach will flatten out, and if you lose sufficient stomach fat, you'll be able to clearly see those sexy six pack abs that everyone desires.
So how do you get rid of extra abdominal fat? Is there really a genuine solution beyond all of the gimmicks and publicity that you see in ads and on commercials for "miracle" fat loss products?
The first thing you must realize is that there is definitely no quick fix solution. There are no pills or supplements of any sort that will aid you to lose your abdominal fat faster. Also, none of the gimmicky ab rockers, ab belts, or rollers will help get rid of abdominal fat. You can't shrink your stomach fat by using any of these contraptions. It simply doesn't work that way.
The only answer to consistently lose your abdominal fat and keep it off for good is to mix up a sound nutritious diet full of natural foods with a correctly planned strategic exercise program that stimulates the essential hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food ingestion as well as your training program are significant if you are to get this right.
I have witnessed a particular study that separated thousands of participants into a diet-only group and an exercise and diet group. While both factions in this study made good improvements, the diet-only group lost considerably less abdominal fat than the diet and exercise group.
Now the essential thing to consider is that any old exercise program will not inevitably do the trick. The majority of people that try getting into a good exercise routine are not working out successfully enough to really stimulate the loss of stubborn abdominal fat. I see this at a popular gym.
Most people will do classic and unproductive cardio routines, throw in a little obsolete weight training, and pump away with some crunches and side bends, and assume that they are doing something useful for reducing their abdominal fat. Then they become upset after weeks or months of no results and speculate where they went wrong.
The main reason most people fail in their fitness goals is that they have good intentions at first to adopt a new lifestyle, yet after a while, they abandon their good intentions and slip right back into their old bad habits that gave them the excess body fat in the first place.
Don't waste another day allowing that nasty abdominal fat to steal your confidence as well as contribute to the risk of having major diseases.
Get solution to rid yourself for life of this problem.
Train hard, eat right, and enjoy life!
