Visceral and Ectopic Fat, the hidden drivers of metabolic disease.
Not all fat is created equal. While subcutaneous fat (the layer under your skin) is relatively harmless, visceral and ectopic fat represent the true metabolic threat, driving inflammation, hormonal disruption, and chronic disease. These two forms of silent fat storage have a significant effect on your health. Visceral fat is deep, organ-surrounding fat, and Ectopic fat is typical fat that accumulates within organs such as the liver, pancreas, heart, muscle and kidneys. The

The secret to healthy ageing - Nitric OXIDE
