Do you have hidden fat?

It hides inside you, and can cause a broken leg. The bones in people with fat around their internal organs called visceral fat are more flexible and breakable than those of people with the same body fat index, but without hidden fat. Harvard Medical School measured visceral fat and bone in 35 men using CT scanning. Men with more visceral fat also had weaker bones. Unlike regular fat, visceral fat emits chemicals that tell bones to decalcify, and forget to rebuild. But it’s still missing: Visceral fat is hard to locate, and thin people aren’t safe. If your waist is larger than 40 inches, you have high cholesterol and high blood pressure, it’s almost a given that you have visceral fat. To find out for sure, take a fasting sugar test, because this bad fat increases insulin. The solution is to increase the intensity of the exercises you do. According to a recent study, people who did high-intensity training 4 days a week for 12 weeks lost 15 square inches of visceral fat, while those who did not increase the intensity only lost 2 square inches. Improve your health and eliminate hidden fat by following these eating tips.
