Belly fat has been regarded as a serious health concern, not without a reason. The deep-seated visceral fat could invite a range of health conditions including those that affect your brain. A new study has found that people who harbor deep belly fat could be more at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease-specific proteins in the brain 20 years before the symptom-onset, than those who do not have such fat.
Obese people, especially those with belly fat issues have another reason to get rid of this pesky fat - to protect their brain from Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia.
