Belly fat refers to fat around the abdomen. There are two types of belly fat:
• Visceral: This fat surrounds a person’s organs.
• Subcutaneous: This is fat that sits under the skin.

• Heart disease
• Heart attacks
• High blood pressure
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Asthma
• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Dementia
Sugary foods such as cakes and candy, and drinks such as carbonated water and fruit juice, can cause weight gain and slow a person’s metabolism. It also reduces a person’s ability to burn fat.
Low-protein, high-carb diets may also affect weight. Protein helps a person feel fuller for longer, and people who do not include lean protein in their diet may eat more food overall
If a person consumes more calories than they burn off, they will put on weight. An inactive lifestyle makes it hard for a person to get rid of excess fat, particularly around the abdomen.
