ArticlesBelly fat is a big problem for many people. In addition to affecting our good looks and self-esteem, the fat tissue that is stored around the stomach and abdomen poses a health risk.

Some studies show that belly fat predisposes to diseases such as:

• increased blood pressure
• high cholesterol levels
