There are 2 types of fat cumulated in your stomach area. The first type that covers your abs from being visible is called subcutaneous fat and lies directly beneath the skin and on top of the abdominal muscles.
The second type of fat that you have in your abdominal area is called visceral fat, and that lies deeper in the stomach area beneath your muscles and surrounding your organs.
Both subcutaneous and visceral fat in the abdominal area are health risk factors to be considered seriously. Both types greatly increase your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, various forms of cancer and other degenerative diseases.
