About this episode
Tristan Lowe discusses the implications of ectopic fat in various body regions and the importance of health monitoring.
In part three of my movie quote discussions THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY, I look at the ugly fat found in our bodies and the consequences of rising ectopic fat throughout the following regions. THE LIVER, ABDOMEN, PANCREAS, HEART, LUNGS, MUSCLE, KIDNEYS, NECK, BRAIN. Whilst the term ugly fat is not the correct way to describe these (it's actually described as ectopic fat in the medical world) I've simply used this term for creative reasons. It's advisable to identify where we are building up excess unhealthy ectopic / ugly fat, by way of blood tests and or scans with our professional physicians or doctors. Often these fatty deposits are not visible to the naked eye, with perhaps exception for abdominal and neck fat. Should we find ourselves, post scan and blood tests, to be harboring ugly fat, then start definitive health changes at the earliest opportunity to at worst slow down the increasing levels, or at best reverse the poor health markers and return to a healthier body and future.
