About this episode

The belly fat you can’t pinch may matter more than the number on your scale. In this episode, Dr. Axe explores visceral fat—the fat surrounding your internal organs—and seven foods studied for their potential to help reduce it. He breaks down an 18-month trial that measured a 14.1% reduction in visceral fat versus 4.2% with general healthy eating, plus research on fermented milk, eggs, green tea, and more. You’ll also hear his recommended daily plate, with practical portions to help you get started. Download my FREE Guide for Your 7-Day Plate: https://guide.thehealthinstitute.com/l-413
