Top 7 Foods to Burn Belly Fat

Visceral Fat

David Jockers explains that visceral fat, unlike subcutaneous fat, wraps around internal organs and poses significant health risks. This type of fat is associated with increased inflammatory cytokines, which can lead to chronic diseases. Jockers emphasizes the importance of consuming foods that stabilize blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity to combat this fat 1.
