Would you like to know your chances of staying healthy in the next decade? Measure around your waist (with a soft tape 10 cm above the thighbone, without pulling in the stomach) – a figure above 90 cm for women and 100 cm for men indicates the presence of reserves of abdominal fat.

According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1 in 3 adults (30.7%) are overweight. More than 2 in 5 adults (42.4%) have obesity. About 1 in 11 adults (9.2%) have severe obesity. However, obesity is not only an aesthetic problem but also a health risk.

Visceral fat is the most dangerous type of fat for health. It is not only deposited on the internal organs and squeezes the stomach forward, but also disrupts metabolism – in particular, it affects the hormonal level and is also the cause of chronic hunger.
