Regular Exercise Transforms Belly Fat into Healthier Tissue, Study Finds

Research from the Michigan shows that long-term exercise modifies fat tissue, promoting better storage and metabolic health.

A study published in Nature Metabolism reveals that regular exercise leads to healthier subcutaneous fat tissue in people with obesity.
Participants who exercised regularly had more blood vessels, mitochondria, and beneficial proteins in their fat tissue compared to non-exercisers.
Healthier fat tissue from exercisers was better at storing fat subcutaneously, reducing the risk of harmful visceral fat accumulation around organs.
The study found that long-term exercise reduced inflammation and increased insulin sensitivity in fat tissue, lowering the risk of metabolic diseases like diabetes.
Researchers emphasize that exercise benefits fat tissue health and metabolic function even without significant weight loss.
