Carotenoids help reduce visceral fat by acting as powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, which can cause inflammation and disrupt metabolism. They also help by turning on genes that burn more fat and quieting down genes that signal the body to store fat.
This video explains what visceral fat is, why it's dangerous, and the fastest ways to target and reduce it. It covers specific foods and drinks that can help, as well as the most effective types of exercise for visceral fat loss.
To effectively reduce visceral fat, exercise should be of moderate to vigorous intensity. This can be gauged without a heart rate monitor using a "talk test." If you can talk in full sentences but sound a little out of breath, you're doing moderate-intensity activity. If you can only speak a few words before pausing for a breath, you're doing vigorous-intensity exercise.
