4 'Healthy' Dinner Foods to Avoid for Losing Visceral Fat and Preventing Heart Disease and Diabetes

Nutritionist Lisa Richards warns that brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole wheat pasta, although healthy in small doses, can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to insulin resistance if eaten in excess, leading to the accumulation of visceral fat. She suggests low-carbohydrate alternatives such as cauliflower rice stir-fry with lean protein, a stir-fry with vegetables and tofu or shrimp, a grilled chicken breast with roasted vegetables, and a grilled salmon with a spinach salad for dinner. It is important to pay attention to nutrition labels and recommended dosages to avoid insulin resistance and reduce visceral fat.

The Link Between Sleep and Belly Fat and Liver Disease

A new study published in Sleep Medicine has found that getting less than eight hours of sleep every night could be contributing to visceral fat, dangerous belly fat that has been tied to metabolic disease and insulin resistance. The study suggests that the goal is to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night, with the new research showing one less hour of daily sleep could result in an overall increase of about 12 grams of visceral fat mass. The sleep benefit seems to plateau around eight hours.

"Facial and Skin Indicators of Fatty Liver Disease"

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolic disorder that causes an accumulation of fat in liver cells, and one in three adults in India has it. Fatty liver disease is closely related to insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and depression. Facial symptoms such as puffiness of the eyes, dark circles, wrinkling around the eyes and corners of the mouth, yellow discoloration of the eyes, thinning of facial hair, redness and flushing of the cheeks, facial swelling, developing or worsening of acne, and spider angiomas can be signs of fatty liver disease. It is important for people to manage their disease better through appropriate interventions and accommodations, healthy eating choices, and adequate exercise options.
