There is an abundance of evidence that supports the fact that their is a correlation concerning belly fat and heart disease, diabetes, cancer, clog arteries, stroke and other medical diseases. Health insurance companies should consider paying for abdominoplasty and lipo-suction in the abdomen areas. According the Dr. Agatston author of The South Beach Diet, he stated that "The mechanism that encourages fat accumulation in our bellies is called insulin resistance, belly fat, also known as visceral fat that attaches to the organs inside our abdomens. Today we know that insulin resistance leads to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes". If the health industry use the abdominoplasty and lipo-suction as a preventative measure, there will be a drop in the health related issues we see today.
