Medical professionals and researchers are highlighting dietary strategies to manage visceral fat, which is linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation.

Internist Michael Aziz recommends prioritizing lean proteins such as fish, chicken breast, tofu, and tempeh to increase satiety and energy expenditure. To support long-term health, experts suggest consuming fiber-rich vegetables and low-sugar fruits, such as berries, apples, and citrus, alongside healthy unsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, avocado, and nuts.

While caffeine from green tea or coffee may provide a temporary metabolic boost, the consensus emphasizes reducing refined sugars, carbohydrates, and saturated fats to manage cholesterol and weight effectively.
