Excess body fat negatively affects metabolic health by increasing the risk of insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Adipose tissue, particularly visceral fat, releases pro-inflammatory cytokines, contributing to chronic inflammation and metabolic disorders. This altered metabolic state can lead to serious conditions like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight through balanced nutrition and regular physical activity is essential for improving metabolic health and preventing associated diseases.
