Visceral fat lurks within the abdominal cavity, a hollow space that houses the liver and intestines. When fatty tissue accumulates in this area, it can interfere with vital bodily processes,


hiking your risk of chronic complications, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. "The data indicated that spicy food intake increased the risk of abdominal obesity, and fat energy


intake may be a mediator of this association in rural Chinese populations." The researchers concluded: "Clarifying the mechanisms will facilitate the development of novel


preventive and therapeutic approaches for abdominal obesity." GENERAL DIETARY TIPS In general, you’ll need to burn more calories (energy) than you consume, and eat the right kinds of


food to burn the belly fat. According to Bupa, eating a balanced diet is key to this effort. "Try to eat at least five portions of fruit and veg each day, and include higher-fibre


starchy foods in meals." The health body also recommends: * Have some reduced-fat dairy or soya drinks fortified in calcium * Eat more beans, pulses, fish and eggs * Eat small amounts


of unsaturated oil * Drink six to eight glasses of water each day * Avoid adding salt or sugar to your meals. "And finally, cut out sports drinks, sugar sweetened drinks and other foods


that have a lot of added sugar in them," it adds. "Be aware that low-fat options might have high amounts of added sugar in them." You should complement a healthy diet with


regular exercise to beat the belly fat. "Studies have shown that you can help trim visceral fat or prevent its growth with both aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) and strength


training (exercising with weights)," reports Harvard Health. According to the health body, spot exercises, such as sit-ups, can tighten abdominal muscles but won't get at visceral


fat. "Exercise can also help keep fat from coming back."
