According to a 2017 study published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One, visceral fat—the belly fat you can’t see since it’s hidden deep inside your stomach—spikes your risk of several cardiometabolic risk factors such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and heart disease (the top cause of mortality worldwide, according to the World Health Organization).
