About the fat cells
The fat cells behave differently in different parts of the body
Men typically have excess weight in the waist (around the belly). So if you gain weight, most of the weight taken will go directly to your belly first. A big belly increases the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), raises the excess fat in the bloodstream, and increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels. In addition, abdominal fat tends to be more and more deeply into the body, unlike fat thighs or hips, which is stored under the skin.
The fat cells located inside the abdomen is metabolically more active than fat cells located in other parts of the body. They release more fatty acids, which can cause diabetes (also read our article “Eat healthy with diabetes type 2: 7 tips), coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and some cancers . Abdominal fat cells could affect the smooth functioning of the liver.
Unfortunately, there is no way to target weight loss in a particular area of skin (eg weight loss in the abdomen first is impossible, we must lose the weight of the body first). So, to lose your ring, you should exercise and work every muscle in your body in more than one system (see also our article “How to build muscle quickly? How to build muscle?”). The good news is that excess weight that is around the belly is usually the weight you lose faster thanks to regular workouts.
If you do not eat fat at all, you will bypass your body
If you do not eat all the fat possible, you’ll short-circuit the natural system of transportation of vitamins in your body so that the system regulating cholesterol levels. As said before, fat is very important to maintain natural transformation steps of your body, such as the absorption of vitamins and energy production. Without these fat soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K), the body can not properly absorb calcium, hormone production could be negatively affected, and the blood may have difficulty learning or clot properly.
A lack of fat soluble vitamins can lead to serious health problems, including night blindness (difficulty seeing where the excessive brightness decreases), rickets, anemia and internal bleeding. Moreover, when the body can not absorb calcium, bones become weaker and more fragile.
Fat, unsaturated kind, may also play a role in regulating cholesterol and lower your bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol).
