Visceral fat a silent enemy
Visceral fat surrounds the liver, pancreas and intestines. Unlike subcutaneous fat, it causes insulin resistance, increases blood sugar and stimulates chronic inflammation, leading to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanin, an antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation and affect the way the body stores energy.
In a study on mice that ate a high-fat diet:
Reduce visceral fat: Blueberry supplementation has lower visceral fat than the control group.
Improve insulin: Blueberries help cells use sugar more effectively, reducing the risk of diabetes.
Reduces inflammation: Inflammatory substances in fat tissue are significantly reduced.
Regulates gut microbiota: Increases beneficial bacteria (Akkermansia), limits fat accumulation.
If this result is confirmed in humans, eating blueberries regularly can become a simple way to reduce visceral fat, support weight control and prevent metabolic diseases.
