Elevated levels of these inflammatory hormones are linked to health problems described above (4<\/a>,\u00a05<\/a>).<\/p>\n It is difficult to judge how much visceral fat one has.

One common example is plaque formation inside the arteries which is a risk factor for heart disease.<\/p>\n An artery plaque is the accumulation of cholesterol and other substances which grows and subsequently ruptures over time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This eventually leads to a blood clot in the arteries which either partially or completely blocks blood flow.<\/p>\n In the coronary artery, a clot can deprive the heart of sufficient oxygen and cause a heart attack (8). On the other hand, the visceral fat releases inflammatory hormones and free fatty acids that travel through the portal vein to the liver.<\/p>\n This may cause accumulation of fat in the liver and potentially lead to liver insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (9<\/a>,\u00a010<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Visceral type of belly fat is as dangerous as it is easy to lose.
