What is the normal standard for human visceral fat index?

Visceral fat is also a type of fat in the human body. It refers to the fat surrounding the human organs. It protects, stabilizes and supports the organs. It is a substance that the human body must have. What is the normal visceral fat index in the human body? What are the dangers of exceeding the normal index?

1. Normal human body visceral fat index

It is normal for the internal fat index to be no higher than 5. If it is higher, high blood pressure and high blood lipids may occur.

A high visceral fat index can easily lead to obesity. The ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference can reflect whether the internal organs are overweight to a certain extent. For example, if the waist circumference is 38 inches and the hip circumference is 46 inches, then the waist-hip ratio is 38/46, which is equal to 0.820. The best ratio for men is 0.85-0.95. If it exceeds this ratio, it means that a lot of fat has accumulated in the internal organs.

2. The dangers of high human visceral index

1. Infertility

When visceral fat enters the digestive system, it can damage organs such as the liver, causing fatty liver. It can also disrupt metabolism, causing type 2 diabetes and infertility.

2. Heart disease

Visceral fat makes it difficult for toxins in the body to be excreted normally. It also produces a variety of chemicals that are closely related to heart disease. Obesity can also lead to heart hypertrophy, which greatly reduces the heart's pumping efficiency, leading to shortness of breath and fatigue.

3. Shortness of breath

Obese people find it more difficult to breathe because when people lie down, any fat in the abdomen will compress the lungs, causing them to feel short of breath when they lie down. The more difficult it is to breathe, the more likely it is that there will be insufficient oxygen in the bloodstream, which in turn leads to general fatigue, impaired immunity, and even high blood pressure.
