The Many Health Dangers of Harboring Belly Fat
There’s good fat and bad fat when it comes to the fat you have in your body. Brown fat is helpful with thermogenesis in your body, assisting you in burning calories. But it’s typically stored around your neck and shoulder area.
The fat in your midsection is what’s known as white fat (it actually appears yellow, though). This is the kind of fat that accumulates around your body, including the stomach.
