Is fat muscling in on your health?
Fat that accumulates around muscles, below the facia (the tissue that separates muscles) and between muscle fibers is called intermuscular fat — and it puts you at increased risk for chronic inflammation, heart disease and heart attack or stroke, even if you aren’t diagnosed with obesity. That’s because intermuscular fat damages micro-blood vessels that affect blood flow to heart tissue.
According to a study out of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, being able to spot that accumulation of fat and damage to micro-vessels using PET and CT scans gives doctors another way to intervene and protect your heart. But an even better approach is for you to prevent over-accumulation of intermuscular fat.
— If you become less physically active — or never were — you accumulate more intermuscular fat. Getting aerobic exercise is important, but resistance training is especially protective.
— Developing insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes also ups the accumulation of intermuscular fat. If you have either condition, it’s even more important to adopt lifestyle and medical remedies that reverse the conditions.
— A diet high in red meat, processed red meats, highly processed foods, added sugars and excess calories and low in fiber and 100% whole grains leads to intermuscular fat. Opting for a Mediterranean-style diet is beneficial.
— Achieving a healthy weight is also effective — but you also need to adopt regular exercise and healthy nutrition routines to have it reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.
