Subcutaneous fat Memes

Ever noticed how your doctor gets WAY more concerned about one type of fat than the other? That's because visceral fat (the terrifying werewolf-monster) wraps around your organs and releases inflammatory substances that increase disease risk. Meanwhile, subcutaneous fat (the friendly golden retriever) just hangs out under your skin being relatively harmless! Your body basically has an adorable pet AND a monster living inside it. Next time someone mentions "losing belly fat," they're actually talking about taming the internal werewolf!
