A little hip gold is no reason for a diet: after all, adipose tissue regulates your body temperature, protects your internal organs and serves as an energy store for your body. Body fat is therefore important for your organism. However, an excess of internal abdominal fat can lead to health risks. Find out here how much abdominal fat is normal and healthy \u2013 and how best to lose stomach fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When should you lose stomach fat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, it is important to distinguish between subcutaneous (“under the skin”) and visceral (“concerning the inner abdominal cavity”) body fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subcutaneous abdominal fat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The subcutaneous fat<\/strong> is located directly under the skin and behaves passively in the metabolism. As subcutaneous fat tissue<\/strong> it keeps you warm and serves your body as an energy store \u2013 it is therefore essential for life<\/strong>. The healthy body fat percentage of a woman is between 20 and 32 percent; that of a man between 8 and 18 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visceral abdominal fat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The visceral fat<\/strong> \u2013 the inner abdominal fat \u2013 is located in the abdominal cavity. It protects the internal organs such as the liver, intestines and pancreas. It is an important energy reserve<\/strong> and extremely active in metabolism: With the release of chemical messengers, visceral abdominal fat is involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels and blood fat values. Too much of it can cause your blood pressure<\/strong> to increase, your blood fat levels<\/strong> to be adversely affected, and your blood sugar levels<\/strong> to increase. In the long run, too much visceral abdominal fat can also promote cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 and cancer. From a medical point of view it is therefore important to reduce visceral abdominal fat to a healthy level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, visceral abdominal fat is only recognizable from a certain value onwards in a larger abdominal circumference. With various methods such as bioelectric impedance analysis or hydrostatic weighing, you can measure your general body fat percentage and find out whether there is a need for action from a medical point of view, regardless of the abdominal circumference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step: Measuring the abdominal girth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Put on a measuring tape at the level of your navel<\/strong> and measure your abdominal girth at this point by putting the tape around your body. For women from a value of 80 centimeters, for men from 94 centimeters, there is a strong suspicion of a too high proportion of abdominal fat. The risk for the above-mentioned illnesses is considered to be greatly increased if women exceed 88 centimetres and men 102 centimetres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A body fat balance or caliper <\/strong>are also useful tools for keeping track of your general body fat percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get rid of some abdominal fat: How it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to lose abdominal fat, it depends on an active<\/strong> fat burning. It is almost impossible to lose fat in a targeted way \u2013 but you can reduce your general body fat percentage quickly and healthily with a few simple measures. A balanced diet and enough exercise will get your metabolism going and stimulate fat burning \u2013 and this is how it goes for the abdominal fat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
