Experts have warned about a 'hidden' fat in the body which can lead to serious health issues if you have too much of it. But there are a number of ways of reducing it - and one involves 'boiling the kettle'.
The fat, known as visceral fat, is stored deep inside the belly and wraps around the organs, including the liver, pancreas and intestines. It makes up around one-tenth of all the fat in the body.
You do need a certain amount of visceral fat to help insulate and protect viral organs - but higher levels can increase your risk of serious health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes and even cancer. It has been linked to a high-calorie diet and little physical activity, as reported by The Mirror.
