Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT)...What You Should Know About Deep Fat Tissue

Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic, I thought I'd share an excert they've posted about belly fat....
"Gaining weight in your abdomen does more harm than simply making your waistband too tight. While putting on weight in general can have negative effects on your health, abdominal weight gain is particularly unhealthy. Too much belly fat increases your risk of:

■Heart disease
■Breast cancer
■Diabetes
■Metabolic syndrome
■Gallbladder problems
■High blood pressure
■Colorectal cancer
Researchers also have found that abdominal fat cells aren't just dormant energy waiting to be burned up. The cells are active, producing hormones and other substances that can affect your health. For example, some fat-cell-produced hormones can promote insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes; others can produce estrogen after menopause, which may increase your breast cancer risk. Researchers are still sorting out how the excess hormones affect overall health, but they do know that too much visceral fat can disrupt the body's normal hormonal balance."
