Relaxation techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing and other stress management techniques can be beneficial and help a person lose visceral fat more efficiently. Eating a healthy diet that is low in sugar and fatty foods will also help a person lose weight and convert excess visceral fat. A healthy diet should include:

• Lean proteins
• Fruits and vegetables
• Complex carbohydrates, such as sweet potatoes, beans, and whole grains.
• Steaming, baking and grilling foods help make meals healthier and lower in fat.

Visceral fat is a fat that we cannot see, so it is not always easy to tell if a person has an excess of it. Since the associated health risks can be severe, it is essential for those who suspect high levels of visceral fat to seek advice from a health professional.

Usually, it is possible to avoid high levels of visceral fat with a healthy, active lifestyle. Those who store dangerous amounts of visceral fat can reduce their levels by making positive changes in their lifestyle. Changes include a nutritious, low-fat diet, increasing the amount of exercise, and reducing stress levels.
