The five different types of body fat:
collaborating nutritionist, Alix Woods, what different types of fat our body has, which are healthy and which we could stand to lose."We have four main types fat in our bodies," explains Alix."Each has its own molecular structure and health implication, so knowing which is which and what they do can help us manage our health better."
With exercise, the hormone, irisin is released, which converts white fat to beige fat. Certain foods, in particular grapes, can also help with this 'browning' process.This stores calories and produces adiponectin, another hormone, which helps the liver and muscles to manage insulin. It keeps blood sugar stable and keeps white fat stores in check.
This fat also produces oestrogen hormones in both sexes, and if there is excess oestrogen it becomes the dominant hormone, causing toxic weight gain that increases the risk of obesity, CVD disease, diabetes and cancer.This is the more 'dangerous' deep fat found around abdominal organs. It may feature as a 'big belly', or more seriously as an enlarged liver - caused by the blood draining from the visceral fat around the organs, getting dumped there.
