Fat concentrated around the abdomen presents increased health risks than fat deposited elsewhere on the body. Abdominal fat seem to be more active than other types of fat. This type of fat goes directly to the liver rather than into the total body circulation, as do other types of fat. This fat eventually becomes LDL, which is often referred to as 'bad cholesterol', and is associated with an increase in Heart disease. Fat metabolism affects the efficiency of the liver to retrieve insulin from the blood; therefore conditions of Diabetes are exacerbated.
