Soluble fiber and exercise appears to slow belly fat accumulation

Belly fat or visceral fat increases the risk of future impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes.  Studying African and Hispanic Americans researchers found that for every 10 grams of soluble fiber eaten daily, there was a decrease in visceral fat of 3.7% per five years while moderate exercise reduced the rate of visceral fat accumulation by 7.4% and subcutaneous fat by 3.6%.  

PositiveTip:  Increase your soluble fiber intakes by eating more fruits, vegetables, and legumes--and when you exercise wear a pedometer and aim for 10,000 per day.
