Visceral fat, or belly fat, is the deep fat wrapped around your organs. For men, an ideal waist-to-height ratio is generally less than 0.5. More than that could signal trouble, a pear shape often indicates lower testosterone.
Testosterone plays a crucial role in fat metabolism, promoting fat burn and maintaining muscle mass. However, belly fat itself can become problematic. Adipose tissue (fat) contains the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen (female hormone). This leads to increased estrogen and reduced testosterone, creating a vicious cycle of more fat and lower "T." That in turn can affect confidence and relationships.
To cut Belly fat, reduce intake of Carbs and Processed meat. Increase consumption of foods rich in Zinc and Vitamin D. Prioritize strength training and regular cardio exercise.
