Another name for visceral fat is belly fat. It is a harmful type of fat which sits deep within the body near vital organs. Losing this fat is far more than just appearance and could help to reduce a number of serious health conditions. The question is though, what is the best method to help you lose belly fat?
In a study published in Emerald Insight, the effect of black garlic on visceral fat was investigated.
In the randomised test, rats were given a high-fat fructose diet with black garlic to see what effect took place on visceral fat.
Administration of black garlic was in doses of 450 mg/200 gBW, 900 mg/200 gBW and 1350 mg/200 gBW.
Rats given with three different doses of black garlic for four weeks did not reduce body weight respectively, but significantly reduced visceral fat.
The study concluded: “Black garlic is a functional food made from heated fresh garlic owing to the Maillard reaction and the organosulfur compounds as antioxidants.
“The higher the dose of BG, the greater the improvement in visceral fat.”
In another animal test conducted in Korea black garlic was shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol.
High cholesterol is a heart disease marker that is associated with visceral fat.
Several other studies have looked at the effect black garlic has on blood sugar levels, especially when obesity and diabetes are present.
It was concluded that black garlic not only helps to lower visceral fat but is also effective in lowering blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics.
Black garlic has been used for flavour and traditional medicinal purposes and is seen in a variety of Asian cuisines for centuries.
Black garlic is, simply put, the product of ageing regular garlic bulbs over the course of weeks or months.
It requires strictly regulated temperature and humidity to achieve its sticky consistency.
