How to measure the internal fat? What should I pay attention to when the internal fat is high?

If the internal fat in the body is too high, it will cause some diseases. So how is the internal fat tested? What should people with high internal fat pay attention to?

Visceral fat can be determined by B-ultrasound examination of the liver and gallbladder. The metabolism of body fat is mainly carried out in the liver. If there is fat accumulation, it usually manifests in the liver first. B-ultrasound examination of the liver and gallbladder can determine the amount of visceral fat based on whether there is fatty liver and the degree of fatty liver.

1. The amount of protein in the daily diet should be controlled at about 1 gram per kilogram of body weight. Animal offal such as heart, liver, intestines, kidney, brain and broth, as well as seafood such as sardines, shrimps and shellfish should be eaten less. Protein is mainly milk and eggs.

2. There is no limit on the amount of vegetables, fruits and milk in the diet, but eat less salt, which should be limited to 2 grams to 5 grams per day.

3. The daily diet structure should be mainly composed of carbohydrates, which can promote the excretion of uric acid. You can choose refined white rice, enriched flour, corn, steamed bread, noodles, etc.

4. Avoid inducing factors such as excessive fatigue, tension, cold, joint injuries, etc.;

5. It is not advisable to use drugs that inhibit the excretion of uric acid.

6. Eat less fat, because fat can reduce the excretion of uric acid.

What we usually call high internal fat actually refers to the higher than normal fat content in the body. This is mainly because it is more common in people who like to eat fatty meat, animal offal, fried food, and deep-fried food. Because long-term and large-scale intake of oily food will lead to fat metabolism disorders, causing high internal fat. Some patients with high internal fat usually have a light diet, but still have high blood lipids in blood tests. This is mainly due to genetic factors. According to scientists' research, there are multiple patients with elevated blood lipids in a family, and hyperlipidemia follows a certain pattern. It is passed from grandparents to parents and from parents to children in the family. This is because there is a problem with the genes that affect blood lipid synthesis and metabolism.

Infertility

When visceral fat enters the digestive system, it can damage organs such as the liver, causing fatty liver, disrupting metabolism, and causing type 2 diabetes and infertility. Not only that, visceral fat can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, cause arterial inflammation, and even easily lead to depression. Visceral fat can also cause cancer. According to estimates by the Cancer Research UK, the incidence of colon cancer in overweight men is 25% higher than that of the average person, and the incidence in obese men is 50% higher than that of the average person.

heart disease

Visceral fat makes it difficult for toxins to be excreted from the body. It also produces a variety of chemicals that are closely related to heart disease. Obesity can also cause the heart to enlarge, which greatly reduces the heart's pumping efficiency, leading to shortness of breath and fatigue.

Shortness of breath

Obese people find it harder to breathe because when people lie flat, any fat in their abdomen compresses the lungs, causing them to feel short of breath when they lie down. The harder it is to breathe, the more likely it is that insufficient oxygen will flow through the bloodstream, leading to general fatigue, impaired immunity, and even high blood pressure.

Experts point out that men with waist circumference > 90 cm and women with waist circumference > 85 cm are typical "visceral fat" obesity. The medical proverb "long waist circumference means short life" is true.

In a survey report on weight loss concepts among obese people in various countries around the world, the World Health Organization pointed out that 91% of women who care about their family's health are eager to help their family or themselves lose terrible fat, but in the process of fat loss, they only focus on losing "subcutaneous fat" and ignore "visceral fat."
