But following the BBC health series How to Stay Young, in which presenter Angela Rippon was shocked to learn she was at major risk of serious health conditions due to high levels of visceral fat, highlighte­dreducea medicalhig­h a levels expertway to of has the toxic fat: inulin. Inulin is a fibre used by the large intestine to produce short chain fatty acids – proven to promote the loss of visceral fat by increasing fat metabolism. And whilst found naturally in foods such as asparagus, bananas, wheat and chickory root, these foods would need to be consumed in extremely large quantities to realise the true benefits. This is why a leading health expert, Dr Alejandro Palacios has suggested incorporat­ing inulin into a daily diet with a supplement. “A daily dose of inulin can really help to improve your health and lower the risk of majorgoes “For undetected conditions,”many, visceralan­d he can said.fat be problemati­c, even those not recognisin­g themselves as healthy, overweight especially and as appear they age.” He goes on to explain how it is not easy to get an effective dose of inulin through diet alone, but a supplement can make all the difference. “Results can be seen within a matter of weeks, especially when combined with an increase in physical activity and a healthier diet, and could mean between prematurei­ncreaseHig­h the bloodin life difference­blood death.”and pressure, glucose an levels recommende­dand a higher hip-to-waistthan measuremen­t are warning signs of higher levels of visceral fat.
