According to doctors, this might be dangerous for your health.

1. Higher risk of developing diabetes
When your liver is covered with fatty tissue as a result of excess belly fat, it fails to process blood sugar well enough. This, in turn, traps sugar in your bloodstream instead of the sugar being processed by the liver. This might lead to you having a higher blood sugar level which can cause diabetes.
