3. You have a big layer of fat around your waist
Even though there is nothing wrong with having a belly, regardless of the body positivity movement, it can actually be dangerous for your health. That is because the fat cells that surround your abdomen are responsible for churning out several chemicals that are inflammatory.
The more fat you have around your midsection known as visceral fat, the more chemicals are possible to be created. In conformity with what Peter Libby, MD, cardiovascular medicine expert, these belly fat cells can be seen as a “hotbed” of inflammation.
What is there left to do, you might ask? For starters, you can drink more water, say goodbye to refined sugar and carbs, eat more lean proteins and vegetables, and make sure to get your sweat session in at least 3 to 4 times a week.

Most of these symptoms seem to be involved with what I have, Porphyria (also called “Vampire’s Disease”. It is extremely difficult to diagnose and somewhat rare. It also, can be attributed to Hepatitus C, which causes liver damage. This makes it so that your liver is not able to process certain toxins from your body and they try to escape through the skin in the form of a rash. I was treated for the Hep C (which fortunately for me minimal damage was caused, due to the fact I had my Hep A and B shots prior to diagnosis). I manage the disease mostly by my diet and what other toxins go into my body. I am unable to process most pharmaceuticals, so usually use medical marijuana for pain relief when I am able. Also, minimal use of regular old aspirin. I have been dealing with this since diagnosis in 2000.
