A health expert has advised of a drink that could help shed harmful fat 'quickly'.
Visceral is often dubbed the ‘hidden' fat because it lies in the body's midsection, where it can't be touched or seen - with the condition infamous for putting individuals in peril of heart attack and metabolic disorders.
However, despite a combination of exercise and diet being necessary for reducing visceral fat, wellness psychologist Ieva Kebiliute says that coriander juice could help speed up results for those it, reports The Express.
Coriander leaves, seeds, flowers and fruit are packed with high contents of antioxidants, which help with digestion.
The plant exhibits a wide range of medicinal activities which include anti-diabetic, antioxidant and anticancer functions.
Ieva Kubiliute, expert for Olio Lusso, said "Coriander juice is popular for quick weight shedding.
"It works by increasing your metabolism, thus burning more calories at a faster frequency.
"You may not like its taste, but blending with lemon juice improves the flavour and gives more effect."
In one study published in the Journal of Agriculture & Biology, researchers investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with coriander seeds on visceral adipose tissue lipid storage in growing rats.
Rodents were fed either standard rat chow or a standard chow supplemented with crushed coriander seeds.
After five weeks, researchers noted a marked difference in the visceral fat among different rodents.
The researchers explained: "Whilst dietary supplementation with coriander did not affect the lipid content of the liver, it significantly increased the amount of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the visceral adipose tissue where it also decreased the fatty acid content.
"Coriander increased the omega 3: omega 6 ratios in the visceral adipose tissue which may explain its health benefits."
