VISCERAL FAT.

Belly fat (also called abdominal or visceral fat) accumulates around the stomach and internal organs. It’s more than just a cosmetic issue — it’s strongly linked to increased risks of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and metabolic disorders.

Here’s a clear breakdown:

---

🔎 Causes of Belly Fat

1. Poor Diet

High intake of sugary foods, refined carbs, fried/junk food, and alcohol.

Excess calories get stored as fat, with the body favoring abdominal fat storage.

2. Lack of Physical Activity

Sedentary lifestyle leads to fewer calories burned and more fat storage, especially around the waist.

3. Stress (High Cortisol Levels)

Chronic stress triggers cortisol release, which encourages fat storage in the abdominal area.

4. Hormonal Changes

In men: reduced testosterone with age.

In women: menopause reduces estrogen, shifting fat storage to the belly.

5. Lack of Sleep

Poor sleep disrupts hunger hormones (ghrelin & leptin), leading to overeating and fat gain.

6. Genetics

Some people are more prone to storing visceral fat due to their genes.

7. Alcohol Consumption (“Beer Belly”)

Alcohol adds empty calories and changes the way the body stores fat.

8. Age & Slower Metabolism

As we age, metabolism slows and muscle mass decreases, leading to more fat gain.

✅ How to Avoid & Control Belly Fat

1. Balanced Diet

Eat whole foods: vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, healthy fats.

Cut down on processed sugar, white flour, sodas, and fast food.

Stay hydrated — water boosts metabolism and reduces cravings.

2. Exercise Regularly

Cardio (aerobic exercise): walking, running, swimming, cycling — burns calories.

Strength training: builds muscle, raises metabolism, reduces fat.

Core workouts: planks, crunches, leg raises help tone muscles (but spot reduction isn’t possible).

3. Stress Management

Practice relaxation techniques: meditation, deep breathing, yoga, journaling.

4. Quality Sleep

Aim for 7–9 hours nightly. Consistent sleep patterns help regulate appetite and hormones.

5. Reduce Alcohol

Limit intake — alcohol adds extra calories and promotes belly fat storage.

6. Consistency Over Quick Fixes

Fad diets or extreme workouts don’t sustain results. Lifestyle changes work best.

7. Medical Check-ups

Hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or metabolic conditions may need professional management.

---

👉 In short: belly fat is caused by excess calories, stress, hormones, and inactivity — and this can be controlled by healthy eating, regular exercise, quality sleep and stress management.

Just saying...

Social health matters

Acid reflux is named wrong!
It should be reflux. Because it is caused by insufficient acid, not too much acid.

When food enters your stomach, and the stomach acid isn't enough, the food begins to ferment, because it isn't burnt up quickly.

The gas that is released goes up and causes heart burns.

It's called heart burn for a reason. The only thing is that it is not the heart that burns, but your esophagus.

Then your stomach tries to eject the food mixed with the little, insufficient acid in your stomach, since it's not processing quickly.

When it refluxes upward, it touches those burns, and then you feel that sharp pain, and the burns get worse!

What is the solution?

Insufficient stomach acid is caused by insufficient sodium chloride.

In other words, insufficient salt.

E shock me too. 😅

Now, the problem is that our salt is no longer natural. But that doesn't mean it doesn't contain sodium chloride.

If you can get and be using the natural salt, it's ok. If not, use the normal salt moderately.

But if you couple it with eating plant based foods or fruits, then you will be alright.

For those with BP, who are afraid of salt, no problem. Eat PLENTY CRAYFISH and SEA FOODS to make up. Also eat PLENTY locust beans a.k.a 'dadawa'.

These things contain a little sodium chloride, but can't be compared to salt.

Thanks for reading.

Have a blessed day.❤️

*ONION: THE KILLER & THE HEALER?!*

Whether onion is a great blessing (useful herb) or a poison is an age-long controversy among medics.

In 1919, flu killed 40 million people. A doctor visited the many farmers who had the attack to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers & their family had contracted the flu and many died.
However, the doctor came upon one farmer whose family was healthy and nobody in the house contracted the flu.
The doctor asked the farmer what he was doing that was different from the others.
The farmer's wife replied that she put an unpeeled onion in a dish and placed them in all the rooms in their house.
The doctor thought that could have been the cure so he asked for one of those onions.
As he placed it under the microscope, he found the flu virus in the onion. The onions obviously absorbed all the bacteria and thereby kept the family healthy.
Now, I sent this story to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
She said ' Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story but, I do know that I myself got pneumonia and became very ill. From my previous knowledge about onions, I cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to myself over night.
By the morning, I began to feel better while the onion became black.'
*Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe the onions that we ate earlier are to blame.*

*Onions ABSORB BACTERIA* and that is the reason why they are also good at preventing us from getting *colds & flu* in left peeled in our room !!!

*And for that very reason we should NOT eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has *been cut open.*

*Left over onions are poisonous*

When food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is whether the 'victim' ate *ONIONS* and where those onions came from. Most probably the *ONIONS,* are the cause.

*Onions are huge magnets* for bacteria, especially uncooked ones.

*Never ever keep a portion of sliced onion over a period of time and thereafter use it to prepare food. It's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and placed it in your refrigerator. It is still poisonous*

*Sliced onions from Malam that sells Suya could be Poisonous or Safe; depending on how long the Onion has been left sliced open !*
*It is better to buy the Suya without Onions !*
*Even when you take the Suya home without Sliced Onions from the Malam; so that you can use your house Onions to eat the Suya; You must not also make the mistake of leaving the Cut Onions on the Suya for a long time before consuming them as quickly as possible !*

Also, do not give onions to dogs. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

*Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to save it to cook with the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night - as it creates toxic bacteria which causes adverse stomach infections and food poisoning.*

I am forwarding this from another person—
Share this to as many people as possible to let them know the poisonous effect of peeled onion left over —which can cause us to be sick.
